Stretch Yourself (post by Kirk Weisler)
In work, the greatest satisfaction lies – the satisfaction of stretching yourself, using your abilities and making them expand, and knowing that you have accomplished something that could have been done only by your unique apparatus. This is really the center of life, and those who never orient themselves in this direction are missing more than they ever know. – Kenneth Alsop (1920-1973)
This week is a stretch week!

A Smarter Day (post by Kirk Weisler)
Not doing something stupid may seem like doing something smart but it’s probably NOT. Anyone can sit there and not do anything… or much of anything. I think we call this a lack of engagement. In addition to being a lack of engagement this lack of action seems to reflect a lack of personal or cultural confidence that allows for and encourages risk taking and innovation.
What would be the smartest thing you, your team and your organization might do to improve the potential of the future?

Heard this nearly as I woke up today. Making something bigger is different than making more of something. Not sure exactly what it means for me yet…but it seems to be sticking so I am going to continue to pondering it. I’ve heard my kids say, “Go big or go home.” but I am pretty sure that’s not it. Bigger isn’t always better – but then neither is more…even when it’s money. Often we don’t need more, nor do we really need bigger…often all we really need is better. Well – I am no sage – but with some thoughtful consideration, study and reflection wisdom and insight can be found in some of the most obvious and the most obscure places.
Where do you most often find the wisdom and insight that inspires you to create a better life? Well here is a bit of wisdom from a known and respected sage…
I like 1, 3, 6, 8 & 10 on his list the best. One of the best ways I have ever come across to learn wisdom is to listen. But learning to listen can take a lot of work…but it’s certainly work worth doing.
make it a great day…. Kirk Out
