The moment of truth. Once you hit it, there’s no going back. The only reality is ‘change’. In fact, there’s already been a change, and what you do with or about it shapes your everything.
Do you want to be an agent of change? If so, you need to start with yourself. We each need to start with our selves.
I was privileged to have a chat with the wonderful person you see giving this TED talk. So calm. So peaceful. So full of truth. These are his simple, but profound, messages:
Have an understanding of the whole.
To do this we must:
- Have the courage to pause.
- Connect – with yourself and others.
- Reflect.
Then:
- Reframe.
Step out of the frame and see another perspective.
Look through different lenses about the situation you’re in.
Use the different bits of your self at the right moment.
My son used to refer to himself using the word ‘myself’ or ‘my self’ – in place of ‘me’ for example. This is when he first started to talk. How right he was. Ourselves, myself, my self. Self. We need to start there I say.
Enjoy Tom Cummings. So simple. So difficult. So important. Adapting to change and context.
