A long-lost mindset I am cultivating again...
I used to have this mindset totally naturally, and without effort.
Now I must work at it. Cultivate it again -- on purpose this time. Here it is, in a nutshell... Go with my gut -- even if it means zagging when all other are zigging. Here's the main reason I started straying from that mindset: FAILURE. When you're gliding along quite happily and successfully, there's no reason to change -- and very little fear. But skid into a ditch a few times, and you start second guessing yourself. You start looking to others for inspiration + guidance. Nothing wrong with that, unless it gets to the point where you become dependent on others and you start assuming that YOUR ideas + instincts must be wrong, and others must be correct. Maybe it's a little pigheaded, but my new philosophy for 2009 is... Go with my gut -- even if my gut leads to some FAILURES. Learn from failures, yes. But plow through them (in a way) WITHOUT abandoning what my gut tells me. Learn from failures, but DO NOT let them lead me astray. I know that seems like an oxymoron. Can anyone else relate? -- TW |
