Gelb says “he serves as a global archetype for human potential, giving us intimations of what we ourselves may be capable of doing.

How do you embrace what makes you different?
We were not brought up to look for differences. We have been socialized to look for similarities…to look for ways to act the same, dress the same and want the same things.

Our design is enduring
We are all created with an indelible, highly personal pattern of innate giftedness and motivation. Arthur Miller calls it your Motivated Abilities Pattern or MAP, and it’s nothing that you learned. It’s something you were born with, the thing that makes you tick and determines your successes and failures. Arthur Miller Jr. laid the foundationContinue reading “Our design is enduring”

Putting Greater Emphasis on Self-examination vs Self-celebration
This graphic by Hugh MacLeod got me thinking. ( I love receiving Hugh’s emails. They always make me think. If you want to see what I mean, check out his blog here.) With this image Hugh talked about the trouble with success…it was exhausting.
