INSPIRATION: Reverse Thinking

by | Dec 1, 2014 | Insights & Inspiration

Often the answer lies in doing something that is less-than-obvious.

Empower others by allowing them to fail.

Make your deadline stress-free by focusing on walking the dog or throwing a party in the heat of the crisis.

Influence others by not caring what they think.

Doing something random doesn’t make the reverse-psychology-of-life strategy work. The answer is in having a clear, high-road intention and knowing it will happen the way it can happen, not necessarily the way you want it to.

Sometimes this doesn’t work, but when you truly commit to your intention and truly release the need to decide how you succeed, it happens way more than you think it should.

What can you let go of in pursuit of success today?
