August 22, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 923 KB

​HOLDING COMPANY   It is the pot that holds the soup. It is our soup. It is the universe that holds the world. It is our world. It is the arm that holds the child. It is our child. It is the book that holds the word. It is our word. It is the face that holds a smile. It is our smile. It is the light that holds all life. It is our life. _______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What do you hold in your life? 2. Who holds you?  _______________________ THE BOOK - Thinking Di...

DAY 151 - Short-term Memory

August 21, 2020 08:00 - 2 minutes - 1.66 MB

​SHORT-TERM MEMORY We awaken each day. We forget to say thanks. We settle to sleep. We forget to say thanks. We eat our food. We forget to say thanks. We wear our clothes. We forget to say thanks. We have our home. We forget to say thanks. We have our world We forget to say thanks. We walk and talk. We forget to say thanks. We laugh and cry. We forget to say thanks. We have our family.

Day 150 - Holiday

August 20, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.18 MB

HOLIDAY   My mind is busy running over all of the current activities. It’s as if I’m living in them rather than just completing them and moving on.   I seem to want to hold it all in my head and replay the elements over and over again. Where I did well or where I messed up.   I shift down a gear and leave all the daily activity to one side. Travelling slower, I can plan and organise. There is more space for thinking here. It is quieter.   And then I go even slower and bring the car to a hal...

Day 149 - Energy Supplier

August 19, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.16 MB

​ENERGY SUPPLIER Some days I waken up full of energy, ready to get moving and excited about the day ahead. Some days I waken up lacklustre, weary, struggling to get going to face the tasks ahead. Today is an energy day just like yesterday! I must be on a roll. It’s so good to be alive. I must capitalise on this potential. I have to get it all done. For tomorrow, who knows, I could be in low power mode. These are not good days or bad days for every day is a good day. It’s simply me manag...

Day 148 - ​Weather forecast

August 18, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 878 KB

WEATHER FORECAST I look at the early morning sky. It is a blank canvas. By lunchtime, I will have filled in half of this picture. By tonight, it will all be complete. And what will this picture be? Whether or not it will be the picture I planned waits to be seen. _______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. Look up at the sky where you are -  go on, do this now!  2. This sky is your blank canvas for the rest of this day. What picture are you planning to paint?   _________...

Day 147 - Rat Race

August 17, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.09 MB

RAT RACE We have inherited a world where jobs and work are allocated to people.   Employers decide on the tasks that need to be done and carve up the activity.   It’s an out-dated economic model where we are paid to do what we are told. And where many people have no jobs.   With technology we can now create work in different ways, driven by what really matters.   We can link up with others and collaborate on projects that are important to us as individuals.   We can take responsibility for ...

Day 146 - Call to Prayer

August 16, 2020 08:00 - 53 seconds - 686 KB

CALL TO PRAYER   The church clock in our little village chimes at 3 o’clock as I cut the grass. It’s my call to prayer and I pause for a moment.   At 4 o’clock we repeat the process. It seems like a fitting end point, working to God’s time. Time for thanks and a cold beer. _______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. When  do you pause in your day to give thanks? _______________________ THE BOOK - Thinking Differently About Everything: 100 Perspectives on What Really Matters...

Three pigeons keep me company and make sure that we leave nothing behind. _______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. How can you help others on your journey? 2. Who is in your sharing economy?  _______________________ THE BOOK - Thinking Differently About Everything: 100 Perspectives on What Really Matters  Des McCabe's daily blog 

Day 144 - Appointment Reminder

August 14, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.41 MB

APPOINTMENT REMINDER In the middle of the night when all is so dark and empty there is nothing for me to see or do. My mind shoots me back to that dreaded place I knew well, when I was 17. Fearing death and my non-existence. These momentary incisions literally shake me as I am overwhelmed by some uncontrollable force. The panic attack as they named it, has returned tonight. It’s terrifying. Back then, I had ​my whole life before me. I could rationalise these moments. Now, and as I get old...

Day 143 - On-line Job Application

​ON-LINE JOB APPLICATION What is your current job? Please don’t use your job title.   Who do you work for? Please don’t put your business name or your boss’s name here.   What do you work for? Please go beyond money.   What do you actually do? Please go beyond your job description.   What does your ideal job look like? Please say what you’d really like to do. _______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. Put all five answers  together.. 2. Send this to yourself and ask 'what ...

August 11, 2020 08:00 - 57 seconds - 728 KB

​THE ZONE   ‘You have to be in the zone.’ she said. ‘You have to focus your mind, be in a different place and bring all to bear on the task.’   And then she smiled and said ‘And from here you can find the real zone, which is beyond all tasks and beyond all thinking, where no zone can be.’ _______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1.

Day 140 - Thinking Skills

August 10, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 922 KB

THINKING SKILLS   If we waken up and then just pick up where we left off yesterday, we are doing more of what we have already done. This is cumulative thinking.   If we waken up and then something unexpected hits us, we have to reassess everything. Our day is turned upside-down as we work out what  to do next. This is reactive thinking. If we waken up and then choose to begin something new or different today, we are creating a fresh opportunity. We are uncovering our new way. This is delibe...

Day 139 - First Responder

August 09, 2020 08:00 - 2 minutes - 1.71 MB

FIRST RESPONDER   When tragedy strikes around the world we see images of destruction and death. There’s pain and anguish on young faces. It’s easy to feel helpless. But there are six key things we can do in these moments. We can be with the families not just as onlookers but in our thoughts. We can feel and share some of their pain. We can send our message of love right now. Personal and direct. We can offer ourselves and all that we are to support them. We can give money through agencie...

Day 138 - Starter

August 08, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.14 MB

STARTER   We mess up. We learn. We start again.   We got it wrong. We think about it. We start again.   We let others down. We are disappointed. We start again.   We failed to deliver. We are annoyed. We start again.   We got caught out. We are embarrassed. We start again.   We missed the opportunity. We are frustrated. We start again.   We see it fall apart. We are devastated. We start again. ______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. Is there anything that you need to forg...

Day 137 - Outsourcing

August 07, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 975 KB

OUTSOURCING Don’t do everything yourself. Share your dream with the world. Collaborate with others. Reach out and build your team. For when we don’t try to do everything, we can do anything. Don’t do everything yourself. Create projects and initiatives. Let others work with you. Set out the plan and make it happen. For when we let it all go, we will all do everything. ______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. How will you work with others so that they can help and support...

Day 136 - Home Security

August 06, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.14 MB

HOME SECURITY I sat patiently on the beach, not moving. I sat there for hours. And then I felt a different sensation as the tide slowly came in. No waves, no noise. Quietly and gently the sea lifted me off the stones. I swayed  left and right, forwards and backwards, for what seemed like a lifetime. Not knowing what to do. And still the tide came in. It started to move me outwards, leading me further from my place of safety. I drifted away on an uncharted journey. Happy and content to...

August 05, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 859 KB

Day 134 - Liquidity

August 04, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.01 MB

LIQUIDITY   We become so busy in life doing all we should and getting on with everything, that it is easy to forget to look closely and to assess it all.   This is more than thinking about where we are or planning our future. It’s about something internal beyond all our actions.   It’s about going closer towards the essence of life itself. Being part of the liquid of life flowing through all of us. As one. ______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. What is the ‘liquid of li...

Day 133 - Action Leadership

August 03, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 828 KB

Day 132 - Inward Marketing

August 02, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.25 MB

​ INWARD MARKETING True Marketing is an Inward rather than an Outward process. Outward marketing means that we can spend our lives chasing customers and jobs, sourcing products or looking for work. Repeating this again and again. Just like we are told we need to do.   Inward marketing means that we are personally driven. We look inwards to our core skills, beliefs, gifts, passions and experience. We work out who and what we are. And then we have exactly what the world is missing and urgentl...

Day 130 - Headmaster

July 31, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.38 MB

HEADMASTER I am still in the office at home. I am still at work. My head is full of stuff. The number of things to do seems to be getting longer, not shorter.   For as soon as I cross something off the list another two things appear needing to be done. My brain and my whole self are consumed and controlled by this list of what needs to be done. I can’t just walk away from it for it all needs to be sorted. And who else will do it, if I don’t? If this day was twice as long, I would fill it...

Day 129 - Artificial Intelligence

July 30, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 969 KB

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE   Years ago, when we were travelling we would stop at a lay-by, take out our map and plan our route.   We would create options, factor in a coffee break at a little village and plot a route that worked for us.   Now we put our destination into our phone which is more efficient. The route is planned for us and we do not have to think.   We don’t pause in the lay-by. We don’t create our options. We don’t stop in the little village. We can just go where we’re told. ___...

Day 128 - Colouring by Numbers

July 29, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.38 MB

​COLOURING BY NUMBERS When I was a child I had a book called colouring by numbers. The outlines of everything were all there on the picture. I just had to colour in the spaces.   Areas with ‘one’ were blue and those with ‘two’ were yellow and so on. The picture came alive in front of me. The outcome was complete and perfect! Imagine if you could have the outline of your life as a picture ready to be filled in now. It would mean that we wouldn’t live on the basis of process or journey thin...

TOW ROPE   The world keeps pulling us back to its way of working. To follow its rules. To behave in the way that it wants us to be.   Untie the rope.

COMMUNITY COHESION   A new community will emerge. A new type of community will emerge and grow.

DAILY BLOG Start your daily blog today. Grab a notebook. Put day one on the first page. And write something.   This is a blog for you, not for the world.

Day 121 - Empty Chair

July 22, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 892 KB

EMPTY CHAIR   This is a spiritual journey, not a business or work one. This is the journey in my eternal now, not a plan for the next year.   This is a journey beyond this place, not a marketing or income strategy. This is a journey away from me, not a reliance on myself.   This is a journey which cannot be described, not one plotted by success or failure. This is a journey without family or friends, and without myself. _______________________ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE  1. What is you...

OPERATIONS MANUAL Today I’m going to be a bit radical. I’m going to break my rules. I’m going to do things differently. I’m not going to follow my normal routine.   Today will take on a life and a process and a perfect purpose of its own. Whatever happens, happens. If it feels right, I’ll do it.   Today I’m going to trust in the deeper part of myself, the one that is so often trapped or locked away. Today will see a different me.   I’m re-writing my Operations Manual. Looking at the sky, wa...

July 20, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1020 KB

ONE DAY DELIVERY   True understanding cannot be accessed by us. Our normal tools of thinking, reading, listening and reflecting are of little use.   For this tool kit can only help us to make sense of what is already in our heads. What we already know.   We have to receive new thoughts, inspiration and ideas from outside to help us to make sense of what is going on.   True understanding is ​outside of us.

July 18, 2020 08:00 - 2 minutes - 1.52 MB

CAREER CHANGE   When we speak of career change we don’t mean changing jobs or sectors or a new job title.   We don’t mean getting promotion, going back to college or having flexible work arrangements.   We don’t mean working from home, working for yourself or starting a business.   What we mean is changing the career model and becoming fully ourselves.   We can step out of the career box that we are put in, for this is only one construct for guiding our lives.   There are many alternatives s...

July 07, 2020 08:00 - 1 minute - 1.05 MB

HIGHWAY CODE   The sIgns are there for you. Watch out for them. They’re not billboards and they’re not traffic signs. Yet they are within the landscape and all around us.   Signs are moments of feeling, of awareness and sensitivity, when windows of light open and you know that something is significant or special. Or just meant to be.   Be open to your signs, to see and listen to what is here and to follow with a 'thank-you'. For deep down this is how your soul talks and works with you. ____...

POLICY REVIEW Life is hard for many people. We lose those we love. We suffer personal disappointments and setbacks. We struggle to pay for the things we need. We worry about those close to us. Most of this people carry to work. Where little is said. Kindness is the foundation of wellbeing. It's a gentle way of being. It’s helping when you can without being asked.
