Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Yesterday’s post about transformational learning (that’s what it was).
Sometimes leaders push people down, unintentionally.
And sometimes, although it may not seem so, we do it to ourselves.
Either way, we need to read this carefully and not be guilty – to ourselves and to others.

Recently read a Facebook update from a friend, and, an aspiring, passionate person who’s launching a new career.
The Facebook update said to this effect, “I didn’t get the job…I learned more in one night than I did in a whole year in school.”
How powerful is that?
When was the last time any of us said something like that?
Do you:
Odds are, we all said, “Yes!”
To all three.
I say, “Doubtful.” It’s number three that gets us in conflict.
What we see in the mirror and what others see in the mirror, almost without exception, are two different things.
Sometimes we need the proverbial spanking, or maybe a kick in the buttocks, to rattle our cage enough to do what’s common sense but not common practice.
Ask yourself, “Why don’t I have a personal vision/mission statement?”
Imagine a child – maybe your child, niece or nephew – asking you, very seriously, “What’s the meaning of life?”
We expect everyone else to have a clue. But not ourselves.
Mind-boggling.
Then one lucky day, someone did me the favor of a major cage rattling, and I finally did something about it.
Any other way is just lame.
Look at all these things we have to do:
But, ask us to think about our personal vision statement, and you might as well ask us if we can grow a money tree.
Why is that? Am I missing something?
Hey, don’t want to make a big deal, or start some internal swirl of guilt or doubt with anyone, so I won’t dwell on this blog thing from yesterday.
But may I please say one more thing before we move on? Google a few things and see what you get:
Blogging will accelerate your search engine optimization. It’s not a silver bullet, but then again, and we all know “There ain’t no silver bullet.”
And as a “put your money where your mouth is” kinda thing, Google any of my blog titles (minus the .com, .net or .org).
Maybe there is a silver bullet.
Or, beginner’s luck.
