In a wonderful post today at Ramblings From a Glass Half Full, friend and fellow blogger, Starbucker, listed 10 Secrets To Success. These keys so interested me that I added brain based tactic 10 keys I'd like to emphasize. Did you know the brain is rewired daily by what we do that day… and Starbuck’s secrets to success look like they’d be fun to keep for inspiration. To Starbucker’s first 10 (he says they are in no special order) I added brain based tactics to:
1. gain common sense -- use more intelligences
2. balance between work and personal life - play more golf
3. increase intellectual curiosity – start the day with the question…”What if?”
4. sustain good friend & family support structure thanks each of those in my life
5. improve perseverance - work in small increments – one step forward daily
6. show good manners and respectfulness towards others - check my tone... especially when I disagree with somebody or hope to show another angle
7. ensure courage - do one act each week that I'd like to become my legacy
8. cultivate selflessness -- give away something special to a person I love.
9. ignite passion – encourage change and use talents in a new way
10. build perspective – remind myself today that there are others who are hungry, discouraged and tired… and that what I do might help them too to build a better world.
It all started with Starbucker’s inspiration list ... and now I also have a brain based list of doables to rewire my mind for their changes. Any you’d add?
I'd like to add, "respect the earth" and plant something you'd enjoy over time. Gardening gives me serotonin and well-being.
