There are times
when you know that you know
in the blink of an eye
you sense
it is the right person
or the wrong investment
or the place you are meant to be.
This ability to "thin slice",
to make a snap decision from very little information
is something I want to develop.
The more freedom we have
the more important it becomes
to trust your instincts.
Like in jazz
when you know your boundaries
and the rules of engagement
it becomes easier to follow those instincts
those split second decisions
that lead to creativity.
I try to live in this place
at least once a day
to develop this thin-slicing muscle
called instinct.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
