RESPONSE RATE When I shake the little tree every single leaf responds. Instantly, hundreds of leaves all wave back to me. They shimmer enthusiastically as one, each in their own unique way. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What tree will you shake today? 2. What are you responding to enthusiastically with others as one? Day 44 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
BLOCKCHAIN With blocks of information being passed digitally from person to person we can track every financial transaction in the chain. We can always go right back to the source, the first block in the chain. Likewise, every time we reach out to help someone we begin to build a chain from person to person, that spreads forever. We create blockchains of kindness. We are the source, the first block in the chain. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Think of one person you could help today. As a result of your input what might they do, or do better? 2. Each of us encounters hundreds of Blockchain kindness opportunities (BKO) every day. Some are as simple as saying thank-you, sending a text or offering some advice. Starting from now, list the next ten BKOs you see today. Day 43 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
REWIND Let us not go back to how it was. Let us not go back to our old way. For our future is forwards not backwards. Let us not repeat it all again for we will never be the same again. New ways of working, new ways of communicating, new ways of living, new ways of thinking, and a different way of being are now part of each of us. When we step out through the door we can plan a different future. And then, when we look back we will see that this was the moment when we changed. The moment we changed everything. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. How have you changed over the last 42 days? 2. What is different about the way you work, the way you communicate, the way you live and the way you think about everything? 3. What is your different future?

INSTANT LOANS Lend your love today to someone far away in another country who is struggling with no basic resources, or help for their family and who can see no future. Connect with them now for just one minute. Reach out to them at a personal level as their father or mother, as their son or daughter, in our family of one. Think of them now. For this will become the greatest thing that you ever do. Changing everything in an instant. Lend your love today. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. In this one minute you can connect beyond all geography and technology to be with someone who desperately needs help. Sit quietly and be one with them.

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX Imagine if we go through this time not asking the real questions. What if our focus is solely on present events? Do we not realise that there was a time when we were not here? An eternity before we existed. And do we not realise there will be a time when we will not be here? An eternity still to come. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Look beyond present events and list the 'real questions' for you. 2. How are you planning to find the answers? Day 40 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
VISION When I take off my glasses everything becomes unclear. For there is no clarity. Everything is a blur with shade and forms merging into one another and as night approaches street lights create a forest of brightness trees. It is a landscape without definition. For there is no clarity. And yet this lack of definition creates a totality and a oneness that is at ease with itself. Take off your glasses and you will see more clearly where there is no clarity. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What is your vision? What do you want to see happen in your life? 2. Can you step outside of the way that your normally think for a moment (take your glasses off) ? 3. Without this usual perspective (and in this lack of clarity), what do you see? Keep looking.....
