WK 3 Reading: "The Art of Possibility"

The Art of Possibility so far has been a truly great book. The fifth practice: Lead from Any Chair, has really taught me a new lesson. Being a part of an orchestra is great because every person plays an important part, but the conductor has the most important role of bringing all the parts together to create a musical work of art. Being in the clarinet section playing the second part is equally important and you can be a great leader from that chair if you are able to invent your leadership role. And after you apply rule # 6 you open up yourself to be free to be yourself. I plan to make a sign to place at my desk that says: “Don’t forget about Rule # 6” because I am often guilty of take myself way, way too seriously. J J LL JJ

Reading practices 7 and 8, ‘The Way things Are’ and ‘Give way to Passion’ really made me stop and consider the way I approach problems. Why waste time complaining about the way things are when we should be moving on to using the situation to our advantage? I am asking myself the question of how passionate I am about life and listening to myself for the answers.
