Superpowers to Mastery

“We know from myths and fairy-tales that there are many different powers in this world. One child is given a light saber, another a wizards education. The trick is not to amass all the different kinds of power, but to use well the kind you’ve been granted.”-Susan Cain

We all have superpowers. Yours could be writing, making people laugh/smile, inspiring others, being an amazing mother/father/brother/sister… The key is to find you powers and amplify them! Bring those superpowers into mastery.

“In the end, mastery involves discovering the most resonant information and integrating it so deeply it fully allows you to fly free.”-Josh Waitzkin

These inspirational quotes were found in Catalyst by Josh McLean.  A book definitely worth a read!

Have a Super Masterful Tuesday!

From Knowledge to Wisdom

To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

-Lao Tse

wisdom

We are always learning.

We live in a world where so much knowledge is at our fingertips (quite literally).

It isn’t hard to do an internet search and find the answer to almost any question we can come up with.

Access to information is not a problem.

They key to true learning and growth is wisdom.

We need to unlearn what isn’t serving us.

We need to take the knowledge we have and apply it so it becomes part of who we are.

We also need to do a brain-dump every now and then. Figure out what you no longer need in your life and cut it out.

Work on learning, definitely.

But also focus on turning knowledge into wisdom in order to create a brighter future.

Getting uncomfortable to be comfy

“Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually”-Stephen R Covey

I’m sure we’ve all heard a variation of the above. The thought/truth that growth requires stepping out of ones comfort zone.

In all things. In order to grow we need to be willing to stretch.

And if you’ve ever taken the time to stretch your hamstrings, you know the beginning isn’t what one would call “comfortable.”

But in order for that all-important muscle to lengthen, we need to sit through some of that discomfort.

The same holds true for life. Growing as a person, making an upward move in your job, learning to be a better parent, Doctor or pastry chef requires stepping out from what we know now in order to become what we can be.

Happy stretching 🙂

Greatness of character

“The inside out approach says if you want to have a happy marriage, be the kind of person who generates positive energy and sidesteps negative energy rather than empowering it. If you want to have a more pleasant, cooperative teenager, be a more understanding, empathetic, consistent, loving parent. If you want to have more freedom, more latitude in your job, be a more responsible, and more helpful, and more contributing employee. If you want to be trusted, be trustworthy. If you want to secondary greatness of recognize talent, focus first on the primary greatness of character”-Steven R. Covey “The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People”
