It’s patterns that just like the motor in a car fuel our behavior. We can know and recognize the behavior and then optimize accordingly. But patterns are deep rooted. You would not even recognize one when you see one right in front of you. Because you’re too close to the …
Since I’ve written on domains two weeks ago, I more actively start thinking accordingly. Actually it’s in my mind every day. As if there are domains in life, and I need to master them. Find the key to mastery, but what is that? What I find is that it’s not …
I’m a positivist. To me that’s looking at what goes well, and not spending too much energy on stuff that doesn’t go well. Focusing my energy on that what gives energy. My coach always tells me that every once in a while I should look at the ‘negative energy things’ …
