Daily rituals, small is big.

I have talked about this before and I started to build up my daily success rituals, as my coach Debbie described them about 2 years ago.

Some describe them as their routines or as their practices.

What works for one person is not necessarily going to be right for another, that is not what is important, it does not matter what you do. It is just doing something small, that is not a burden, on a day to day basis. Also important, do not beat yourself up if you miss the odd day.

The thing is, just doing things regularly day in, day out for a number of years now has lead to some amazing changes, that I previously would have thought not possible to achieve.

Once you see how you can change so much by small daily rituals, you then start to become bolder and braver about what else you might change.

It becomes accelerated and you realise that you can do so much more in life by small insignificant daily steps than trying to achieve big steps.

Small is big.

Predicting the future

We now live in a time that the human race has never previously experienced.

There are 7 billion + of us on the planet. We have the potential to all connect virtually, we all have the potential to broadcast our own TV, produce our own music, write our own blog, our own book, and create our own tribe, our own audience.

We have technology tools like Block Chain that can enable us to have things like to true global democracy, complete transparency and much more.

We have, as Brian Solis coined it, ‘digital darwinism’ where technology and society are evolving faster than our ability to adapt.

We have change on a previously unseen pace.

All of this has come in the last few years and compare that to the fact that it has taken Homo Sapiens 70,000 years to get from the plains of Africa to today.

50 years ago you could have predicted the future reasonably well, 20 years ago the same, 5 years ago hard, now, who knows really.

We are living through the biggest revolution the human race has ever seen.

The more important issue isn’t to predict the future, it is keeping up with it, embracing it and making sure we participate in making it all our futures, instead of a future for a privileged few.
