I wrote my first Think Daily message in April of 2009 – 13 years ago. This first Think Daily for Businesspeople message went out a month later. That’s 13 years at 500 messages a year!
6500 times I sat down with my laptop and said “what am I going to write today?” The process of “teaching” has made me a far better student. I don’t want to say anything dumb, false, not useful, or insulting, though I am sure I have done all of those things.
To get better is to change. But our egos don’t like change. They are fighting to defend your identity that you act out each day and they don’t want to be challenged, exposed, called out or replaced with a new one. But real change demands it.
Helping someone else change from afar without upsetting them and having them simply unsubscribe is a delicate matter.
Walking my own talk has made me better. But one thing has gotten easier. Deciding what to do, or rather knowing what to do when the chips are down and the tests come. By being a student and learning each day, when the occasion or crisis comes you know how to act ahead of time.
Knowing what to do in so many of the situations life brings is not the result of reading (learning) it one time, but from repetition and being a practitioner to master ourselves.
I will keep going because the sun keeps coming up and you are still there.
Happy 13th Birthday Think Daily!
