How Magnificent Are You? – John Assaraf

WingsThere’s an “intelligence” that manages the 8 million species of life on our little blue planet. Some people call it God, some call it Buddha, some Allah. It doesn’t really matter what you choose to call it; the only thing that really matters is that you understand that it’s the same intelligence that gives you life.

This intelligence automatically causes your heart to beat 86,400 times a day, creates 10 million new cells each second as 10 million die off, and causes your food to be digested while 10,000 trillion cellular actions occur in your body every second. It’s the intelligence that sustains perfect order and harmony in nature without a hiccup. You are a miracle and a genius capable of incredible accomplishments because Read the rest of this entry »

Sixty to Zero

Ever notice that most car specs focus on acceleration, not braking? It’s more fun to focus on getting fast than it is on getting slow.

How would you manage or market differently if you knew that you had to hit the brakes, and hard? Slowing one thing and speeding up something else.

Prediction: there will be no significant newspapers printed on newsprint in the US by 2012. So, you’ve got two and a half years before the newspaper industry is going to be doing something else with the news and the ads, or not be there at all. Does that change what you do today if you work in this business?

Insight! The newspaper industry is in trouble, but news is not going to go away, just the paper part. Those who are working hard to preserve the paper part are asking the wrong questions and are doomed to fail.

Prediction: 90% of your sales will come from word of mouth or digital promotion by 2011. How do you change what you’re doing today to be ready for that?

Prediction: The effort required to outsource a task involving the manipulation of data of any kind will continue to decrease until it will be faster and cheaper to outsource just about anything than it will be to use in-house talent. What will you do today to ensure your prosperity when that happens?

Question: how come the Stanford Publishing Course special week on digital media isn’t sold out yet? It seems to me that if you know the old world is about to end, you’d run like crazy to master the new one.

Going fast, doing your best and then slamming into a cliff works best for Wile E. Coyote, not humans.

“The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz

A friend on Facebook reminded me of this phenomenal book I read last year.  I think it’s time to revisit the book, it was fantastic!

 

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
