Changing What's Normal


This is the place where I share sparkenations weekly.

Sparkenation: a spark that ignites passion that leads to action that changes what’s normal.

Week of 19th May 2013

Each Friday I look forward to reading the musings of Kevin Roberts CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi. This week he referred to a article about winners mentality.

The words “Disconnect from goals and results: Be in the moment.” standout out for me.

Below are links to further thoughts about focus and time that I have shared on my blog this month:

Say goodbye to being time poor.

Is your smart phone out smarting you?

Manage your energy not your time.

If you are attached to goals/results and are time poor your self-leadership is off course and therefore so is your leadership for others.

Week of 12th May 2013

You are not your thoughts rather the being who is having them.

What thoughts do you need to modify or change to achieve what you want?

Maybe you need to modify or change your intentions and feelings as well.

Intentions, feelings and thoughts precede actions. If your actions are not leading you to where you want to be consider modfiying or changing your intentions, feelings, and/or thoughts.

The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who you are.

Very few good outcomes are solo efforts. Success is usually a combination of several factors. Below is one of my favourite combinations that has stood the test of time for me.

The unique combination of desire, planning, effort and perseverence will always work its magic.
