What does your best work look like?

‘Eruption’ by Philip Dodson

I attended a great workshop a few years back, facilitated by Judy Rees, and one of the exercises was if you had to visually illustrate what your best work looked like, what would you create? What would you draw?

what would you draw, paint, make or write to demonstrate you at your best?

Do we even stop to look at what factors combine to create our best work, when we are in complete flow, when we are ‘on fire’?

The more we work in a focused, deeper way, the less the shallow distractions occur and the better we can work.

The challenge for us all is that is personal. What creates the environment for deep work for me will be different to you.

However, we all have an environment and mindset that will come together to enable us to do deep focused and meaningful work.

Take a moment to work out where that is for you and then see how you can apply it.

Blindness and a spectrum of colour

Wonderfully, thanks to medical advances, the number of people whose sight is completely blind is declining.

Sadly, due to human regression, the number of people ‘blind’ to others, their views and situation is increasing.

To see others we must first learn to understand, listen without evaluation and empathise.

No matter how opposite our worldviews are with another person, we can only influence, if that is what we seek, by understanding their world, their experiences, their environment that has shaped their views.

After all, there is no black and white, right or wrong, just a giant spectrum of different coloured worldviews.
