5 Remarkable People Questions


 1. What brings you the most joy?

 2. Why does this bring you joy?

 3. What two actions can you take today to have more time for 1?

 4. How committed are you to taking these two actions? (1-10)

 5. What would it take to move the commitment to 10.

 Take 6 or 7 minutes for all the questions. Don’t get bogged down in analysis. Don’t let barriers rise up. Just let the answers flow from you. Write them down. Put this sheet away and reflect on your answers for a day. Tomorrow come back to your answers and jot down what you notice. If you are satisfied and ready for a small step, act on one of your actions. If not answer question 1 again. Rinse and Repeat.

Jessica's Ten Steps to Being Interesting

Jessica Hagy has once again made some simple and interesting points in her Forbes article. this week. I am going to try to do justice to her brilliance by commenting on a couple each post for the next few days.

1.Go exploring.
Explore ideas, places, and opinions. The inside of the echo chamber is where all the boring people hang out.




The power of curiosity can save your mind, your life, the world. Seek out contrarians, disruptives, and those who see the world differently from you. Open a book that doesn't look interesting, watch a piece of documentary propaganda that may not be your cup of tea, get outside an watch wildlife being wild. Plan one activity (15 minutes or longer)each day for the next 3days that not only gets you out of your box but takes you far enough away from the sides that you feel a biy uneasy. Share here what you discover about the world, your community and yourself. Which leads us to;
2. Share what you discover.
And be generous when you do. Not everybody went exploring with you. Let them live vicariously through your adventures




You can know you are interesting and remarkable but unless you let a glimmer out - who else will know? Take 5 minutes to gather your thoughts (no more than 5 minutes) and then post on Facebook, tweet, blog or better yet go for coffee with a friend and tell them a story about your experience. Maybe begin with " I don't know if this really happened but I know it is true".

You are remarkable ~ let the world know!
