That would be a good class to take. I can think of a few concepts that would be great to present in classes to younger folks. These are not taught at regular public schools, but I know some high-level concepts are taught at private-type schools for younger people. It really makes a difference when a 10 year old gets some high-end material taught to them early on, as they will then be very ahead of their peers.

Good call about the tools revealing themselves. There is no point in getting worked up about them because it works better when they arrive to help instead of get seeked out for help.

Thanks for that. I sure am glad to have started and finished it. For a little bit there it was like a 100-page book and I was on page 70.

We have to connect while we have the chance. I think about this lately with songs. I have thoughts for a post about this because I have two points to make about it.

Going with a plan is a matter of decision. I think it was Napoleon Hill who said that children should be given a class in decision-making during the early years. Most people can’t make a decision. This is evident when going from the planning to action stage. All the tools are in place and then……it’s put off until the person has the time for it. Just go forward. I’ve learned that planning means nothing without action. Sometimes I don’t plan at all. That’s OK. The tools always reveal themselves along my journey. It’s better than spending my entire life in the planning stage

I hear what you are saying there. That added impulse makes us feel less structured like our whole day is already planned from start to finish, which I could use a bit more of. Maybe an 80% planned day is the way to go.

Shared strengths has always been around but now has more applicability.

Glad to see your thoughts.

It sure is walking for a long time. That’s a valid point. It does get hard at some points in big hikes though. Also there are risks involved about getting back before it is dark, or getting lost.

Good to hear from you.

Thanks for that. It’s easy for us to know our own strengths, and we are usually pretty good at judging what others are good at.

For me, I always do some planning before I take any actions (Every action). So sometimes that habit can be a little tiring. But i’m trying to be more…impulsive and go with my guts sometimes without any planning, it makes me sort of feel more human (if that makes any sense).

Although I often plan, I don’t usually follow up with them. And so I miss out on a lot of chances for me to improve. But because of those years of static life, I became desperate enough to take action and follow through. But I am still learning to take more actions in order to work with others. Because you are right, shared strengths is much more powerful than working alone.

Thank you for this reminder Armen, I appreciate it
