SELF AWARENESS Prayer seems like such an outdated process, when conceived as reciting words to a God we don’t know. Meditation seems like a bit of a wacky process, when conceived as sitting waiting to discover yourself. Contemplation seems like a bit of a self-indulgent process, when conceived as reflecting on our life or situation. But these are all just processes, people trying to work out what is going on and what we are here for. So, if these processes don’t work for you, create your own, with your words and activities. Let’s call it self-awareness. Make this process your own. Give it form and structure. Allocate some time and then share what you learn. For the world needs your understanding, your compassion and your love. It needs your process. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What is your process of self awareness? What do you call it? How does it work? Day 347 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
SCHOOL CURRICULUM There’s a new school curriculum. based on needs rather than subjects. It is one that empowers children and students to use their skills to the full and to become agents of change. It addresses eight key questions. How can everybody in the world have food today? How can everyone in the world have a home today? How can everyone in the world be safe today? How can everyone in the world look after our planet today? How can everyone in the world work together today? How can everyone in the world use their skills to help others today? How can everyone in the world be kind today? How will each of us change the world today? PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. The new school curriculum applies to adults also. How can you answer the eight questions? Day 346 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
ONLINE COMMUNITY Our online business behaviour has largely been reduced to self-interest and personal promotion, that is unsustainable and fails to support everyone. We have apps where we do little or no networking, have so called friends who we rarely speak with, and email funnels designed to chase our money. We are capable of so much more. Collaboration can help us to leverage our experience, support each other, and get all the help that we need. We can be open to new relationships and business possibilities, not limited to selling stuff, ego massaging, vanity projects or holding onto what is ours. We can move to collective activities, freely offer our support and reach out to those who need our expertise and skills. Each of us can start a real online community. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Will you begin today to reach out and support those who you can help? 2. Could you encourage others to follow the rules of your online community - to help and look after every single person in the group? 3. Could you use your collective skills, experience and knowledge to create something amazing with every person? 4. Could you then encourage others to create their own real online communities?
