“Curiosity about what might happen in the future, the ability to imagine how things could be different, and empathy for our future selves are all necessary if we want to create change in our own lives or the world around us.”

— Jane McGonigal

I. Dare To Be Great

  • What you think is important. Think Great.

  • What you do is important. Act Great.

  • What you feel is important. Feel Great.

  • What you are is important. Be Great.

“Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.” — Wilma Rudolph

II. Isn't It Ironic?

  • We ignore the ones who adore us.

  • Adore the ones who ignore us.

  • Love the ones who hurt us.

  • And hurt the ones who love us.

III. The Four Agreements

  1. Be impeccable with your word.

  2. Don't take anything personally.

  3. Don't make assumptions.

  4. Always do your best.

IV. Question

Are my short-term efforts and long-term goals still aligned?

V. This Week I Will

  1. Get creative.

  2. Prioritize getting enough sleep.

  3. Organize and clean up my email inbox.

  4. Take a photo of something that inspires gratitude in me.

  5. Give myself at least 15 minutes of intentional screen-free time.

If you are committed to growing, you will need to disrupt yourself and your comfort zone.

The Last Words…

“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
