Feeling burned-out? No creativity and inspiration?


Tired of the same old thing? Feeling burned-out? No creativity and inspiration? Even at a personal level, things are not the way they were meant to be?
Then, I highly recommend reading “Fish! Tales” by Stephen C. Lundin, John Cristensen, Harry Paul and Phillip Strand.


I was hooked by the review as there was something related to leadership and teamwork:
The Fish! Philosophy  captures in a simple but powerful way what leaders today need to hear.”
~Larry Wilson, founder, Wilson Learning

The Fish! Philosophy consists of 4 principles:

#1 PLAY – Play is not just an activity; it’s a state of mind that brings new energy and sparks creativity.

#2 MAKE THEIR DAY – The world becomes a better place the moment you act on an intention to serve another.

#3 BE THERE – You can multi-task with “stuff”, but you need to “be there” for people.

#4 CHOOSE YOUR ATTITUDE – The attitude you have right now is the one you are choosing. Is it the one you want?

The reading made me think about my life. It turned out to be a revealing and powerful one. Great stories that lighten up days and make us reflect upon daily attitude – Everything is a matter of choice… 

Every single day I ask myself these questions as soon as the day starts:
  • What’s important for me?
  •  Who do I want to be today?
  •  Am I doing the right thing?
  • Am I happy? If not, am I making an effort to change the undesired situation?


I know it is overwhelming to ask yourself all these questions. 

You might not have the answers to them immediatelly. Changes take time! 

Be persistent.

“If you’re tired of starting over, 
stop giving up:

Have
Only
Positive
Expectations.”

Hey Luiz!

This seems to be a great book. I will try to get it here.
I truly believe that the different states in which we are result in very different scenario in front of the very same situation.

I am very curious about the play part! Have a great reading and post later about your findings.

Send you a big hug,

Juan
