HOME SECURITY I sat patiently on the beach, not moving. I sat there for hours. And then I felt a different sensation as the tide slowly came in. No waves, no noise. Quietly and gently the sea lifted me off the stones. I swayed left and right, forwards and backwards, for what seemed like a lifetime. Not knowing what to do. And still the tide came in. It started to move me outwards, leading me further from my place of safety. I drifted away on an uncharted journey. Happy and content to find a new beach in time. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Can you trust in the process and let go of your place of safety? 2. How will you journey and find your new beach? Day 136 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
RE-CYCLING The priority each day is to re-claim our unique raw material and re-cycle. It is from here that we can re-think all that we are, re-create all that we do and re-focus on all that we will become. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Every day is a fresh start. Our old self is re-cycled to be made new again. What are you going to be today? 2. And how will you re-create yourself tomorrow? Day 135 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
LIQUIDITY We become so busy in life doing all we should and getting on with everything, that it is easy to forget to look closely and to assess it all. This is more than thinking about where we are or planning our future. It’s about something internal beyond all our actions. It’s about going closer towards the essence of life itself. Being part of the liquid of life flowing through all of us. As one. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What is the ‘liquid of life‘ that connects and flows through all of us? 2. How can you boost and improve that liquidity – to benefit yourself and all others? Day 134 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
ACTION LEADERSHIP We see lack of activity as being ineffective, or being lazy or non productive. We have forgotten how to sit and wait, to be content and trust that all is well. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Do you take time to be ineffective, lazy and non productive? 2. Have you learned to sit and trust that all is well? 3. Do you know what you are waiting for?

INWARD MARKETING True Marketing is an Inward rather than an Outward process. Outward marketing means that we can spend our lives chasing customers and jobs, sourcing products or looking for work. Repeating this again and again. Just like we are told we need to do. Inward marketing means that we are personally driven. We look inwards to our core skills, beliefs, gifts, passions and experience. We work out who and what we are. And then we have exactly what the world is missing and urgently needs. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Make a list of your core skills, experience, interests and passions. 2. Now add your values and beliefs (what's important to you) to help work out who and what you are. 3. How might you share all of this with the world? Day 132 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
DELIVERY CONFIRMATION It’s time to write this week’s list of thank-yous. Where will you start? Where was your joy? What have you learned? What have you been given? What was the one big surprise? Who has helped you? What has been sorted? How have you been? Who did you speak with? What did you take for granted? It’s Saturday and it’s time to write this week’s list of thank-yous. To sign here for all that you have received. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What have been the key events and memories of the last seven days? 2. Write down your top 10 thank-yous - and then rank them in order of importance for you, from 1- 10. Day 131 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises
