It's just not possible ...

To be inquisitive all of the time!
Or, is it?
In 7 Words, we say mastery is balancing all 7 all of the time.
A tall order.
And a worthy aim.
I'm still learning.
And it's a great adventure.

New is good.

Unless it isn't!
We learn by experience.
And if it feels good, we generally label the experience 'good'.
And do it again if possible.
Repeated too many times it may become 'old hat'.
Then we need to move on to other new experiences and learning.
You agree?

Is truth a feeling?

Feelings alone are rarely enough to determ-IN-e truth.
We use our minds to interpret our feelings and what we consider to be true.
"This just doesn't feel right!"
Yet, sometimes, it's OK to act on nothing other than intuition.
If we're proved 'wrong', so be it.
We can make amends - to others and to our model of the world.
Learn-IN-g from our IN-tuition is a great experience.

There's always a choice!

Even when we don't choose.
That's a choice.
It doesn't feel as good. It's not as empowering.
Making up your own mind and acting on it ...
That's choice!
If what you choose is not 'right' for you ...
Then, you've learned something really valuable.

When you make mistakes, do you celebrate them?

Are you mostly free from guilt and shame?
We can learn from our mistakes
If we let ourselves feel genuine remorse
And consequently decide to repair the damage and move on.
Another lesson learned. Another notch on our bed of wisdom.
Sorry ain't Sorry unless it releases everyone from guilt, blame and shame.
Let's celebrate our mistakes, feel Sorry, learn and apply the hard-won lessons.

Can you say Sorry and mean it? And what does Sorry mean?

Considering new ideas

"Shaping & reshaping my thinking." - NiHo

What and how I think is part of my identity.

I am open to new ways of thinking.

Feeling what resonates with me.

When I meet ideas that jar, I consider them ...

To see what they're offering me.

Integrating the learning, positive & negative.

Accepting what does and does not work for me at this time.
