Stay curious, preferably with a camera in hand.
Sidelines
While spectating has its place, we need to lean in to make things happen, to create meaningful change.
What are we currently watching from the sidelines, perhaps with concern, which we could alter with some participation?
Confusion
Trying to make sense of it all is almost pointless. Confusion often leads to stagnation, ruts, procrastination and giving up.
How can we change our approach to see one path more clearly? What do we need to give up to focus?
Rooted
It’s perfectly okay to stand for something, to be rooted in an ideal or way of doing things. This keeps us grounded, especially when our slice of the world is a bit chaotic. But, what if…? Are we open to new possibility? Do we seek it out? Are our roots holding us back as much as they are making us feel more secure?
Knowing how and when to let go of our convictions can open new doors, help us thrive in new ways and discover a new part of ourselves. The hard part of changing course is knowing what to do with the discomfort which comes with it.
Choice
Choice can be both a blessing and a curse because it requires our time. One of the gifts of choosing is contemplation, a respect of what’s on offer. But, this too is a choice. Rushed and the possibility of discovery is lost.
Someone cared enough to give us choices. Reward them with some attention…contemplate more.
Reflection
Growth, learning and getting better isn’t reserved for once a year. It’s continuous. Evaluation, reflection and assessment then aren’t either.
How can we incorporate reflective practices into our daily routines? How were we seen yesterday? Did we have the impact we had hoped to make? How was it different than what we expected? And, how does it change our approach for today?
Stay curious.
Prime
Just because something is past its prime, doesn’t mean it lacks value. In fact, fresh and new isn’t always the best option.
When is older an advantage, perhaps even preferred? In which situations would we choose something old to work with over something new?
Analysis
There’s a sweet spot in studying data which makes things much more clear. But, it’s also easy to get lost.
How much is enough? When should we abandon analysis altogether and go with our gut?
