A tourist will always find…

Always insightful Timo Wadhawan at Heartwood Studios shared this gem with me on Saturday.
“A tourist will always find what he or she is looking for”
Think about it as a tourist. You will find what you are looking for. You can be at The Louvre but not know how to enjoy the artwork or you can be at a park and be mesmerized by the trees and birds. You will always find what you are looking for.
You can easily extend this to our life. In a way we are tourists to this world and we will JUST find what we are looking for.
So, may be, MAY BE you are here because you are where you are JUST because you were looking to be there

Breaking old habits is hard.
Breaking old thinking patterns is hard.
Breaking old beliefs is hard.
Dee Hock (founder and former CEO of Visa International) says it best
“The problem is never how to get new innovative thoughts into your mind, but how to get old ones out. Every mind is a building filled with archaic furniture. Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it”
– Dee Hock

Quotes worth recording – Terry Pearce

The difference between “wanting something” and “wanting something and willing to pay to get it” is the same as the difference between day and night. A quote from Terry Pearce is applicable to people from all walks of life. Here it is:
“There are many people who think they want to be matadors, only to find themselves in the ring with two thousand pounds of bull bearing down on them, and then discover that what they really wanted was to wear tight pants and hear the crowd roar”
Have a great week ahead!

This was the quote that our Vistage chair Sterling Lanier put up for us in today’s meeting. Can’t disagree with it. Of course, I think we can always add to the list and extend it.

1. something to do
2. someone to love
3. something to hope for
4. something to believe in”
