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.

The world needs your ideas to be created

We have a world full of billions of people, each person’s head is full of so many of ideas. The numbers are difficult to compute of how many ideas are being created every moment of every single day across the entire human race.

An idea is great, but it is a billion times better if it is shared. The act of sharing an idea is the act of creating something, as you have transferred it from just your head to others. By doing that alone you have created an opportunity perhaps just to inspire another person to act or to inspire yourself to act. Then who knows what gets created from that.

So many people have gone to their graves with all those ideas they never shared, never created, never gave us the other humans a chance to be inspired by, a chance to take action.

The world needs your ideas to be created, we all owe the human race our ideas.

Even if it only impacts just one person, it was worth it. That is what being human is about, sharing with others.
