3 Words for your 2011 Goals--Take the Chris Brogan Challenge

 Take the Chris Brogan Challenge and look for three words that will help you frame your challenges and opportunities for 2010. If you want to try the process, it works something like this: think of how you want to be successful in 2011. Then, try to think in even broader terms. Extrapolate on the broader terms, and find one word to hang the idea on.

Try setting your three words far out on the horizon, but such that they can lead you to your goals every day. Meaning, can you use the same word to get you started, but have it still be relevant when you’re almost at the big goal?

So, what are your three words? 

 

2011 Words for me:

Bridge  Gaps, People, Places, Jobs

Play    More! Lightheartedness, travel, adventure, new experiences, new peeps

???

And here are mine for 2010:

Lead -- Lead in ways I can't even imagine yet

Core -- Work, play & exercise from my core strengths

Play -- More fun, more adventure, more lightheartedness

 

My 2009 Words:

Swim--the current, in projects and revenue
Grace--patience and compassion with family and friends
Lands--see new lands, 5th decade, open space, new territory, new geos, new eyes

Quantum Light Breath--Jeru Kabbal

 

WHAT IS THE QUANTUM LIGHT BREATH?

The Quantum Light Breath created by Jeru Kabbal is a highly focused breathing meditation process that greatly accelerates the user’s personal transformation by bypassing the conscious mind and releasing old programs directly from the subconscious. It basically eliminates the need for analysis, painful emotional experiences, years of therapy or growth groups and unfruitful meditations. It usually takes the user into an expanded state of consciousness. Universal love is experienced as a reality and not as an unreachable concept. There is a deep connection to the Universal Intelligence.

A Fire Inside: Thoughts on the Credit Crisis and the Creativity of Winter http://www.davidwhyte.com/ 

A Fire Inside: Thoughts on the Credit Crisis and the Creativity of Winter Outside my window the wintry English fields spread, as they have for centuries to the dark, smoke blue line of woods that limit the horizon of the valley. A bright fire burns in the grate to my left, while outside I can hear the call of a barn owl cutting the still, even air. All is exactly has it has been for many a hundred year in these Cotswold hills where I happily find myself this winter's day. Everything from horizon to horizon is eternal and quiet and seemingly unchangeable - except, that is, for one tiny but extraordinary portal I can open on this laptop to a parallel world of web-borne news, a world supposedly more real than the quiet one I inhabit this cold but beautiful evening. With a few clicks, I can enter an astonishing world of worry, anxiety and for many individuals, and indeed whole societies, material hardship, brought on by the cessation of credit. Out of the hermetic silence of a quiet winter day I can take a few short steps and almost touch the sense of panic and the extraordinary breakdown in trust that has stopped the flow of currency from one person to another, one bank to another, one society to another. It is as if the cold hands of this financial season have touched every last monetary stream and rivulet, and frozen them over. It is winter here in the countryside with all its well-loved beauties, but out in the world of money, it is winter with another form of terrible beauty, the winter of disappearance, immobility, and the worry fret and anxiety that comes from seeming to have very little shelter from its effects. It is always a trauma for the human psyche when those elements it has over-invested itself in at the periphery of life are withdrawn, and the spring-like world of growth and opportunity seems to close down, as if the old currencies have become worthless while we as yet do not know how to value or harvest the following season.

Rowing--Courage, Stamina and Discipline

"One of the reasons, I think, for the growth of interest in rowing is that it is the perfect form of exercise. Rowing calls into play every muscle of the body. It call for skill, courage, stamina and discipline."
