Back to Sanity?

Lesson 1

Distortions

I had an interesting experience this morning.  I was in a cab chatting to the driver and said (as you do) "How are you?"

The cab driver replied "You know him then?"  Obviously me response was "Eh"

The cabby replied "That other driver.  You know him?  You said that you hated him"

How big a distortion is that?  A completely different frame of reference.

this is happening all the time.  So what you believe that you are saying is not necessarily what is being heard

How Powerful is intention?

We see the power of social networking all the time.

What if everyone just made a decision to say one thing to a stranger or acquaintance.  What if you made a decision to do that once a day?  How far would that spread? What impact could that have for us all?

just a thought

Lessons on states

Wel

Having travelled back from an interestiing conference at Claridges I find a letter from another company threatening legal action because our names are similar.  At the same time, checking e-mails I notice one from a Compliance unit reference a case.  Immediately I "blow my top".  Down tools and retire for a bath.  Subsequently, having expected the worse, I open up my e-mail and it simply says.  Great case well done.

So..lesson learnt.  Do not assume something and become negative, before you have checked the reality

Transformations

The seminar with David and Gavin was very good and a great opportunity to catch up with friends.  Met up with most of my Prac class and spent a great afternoon come evening.  It is still astounding the changes that have taken place - Louise you have dramatically changed for the better in so many ways!

Now, Sunday the more mundane tasks of catching up with e-mails and planning the week ahead
