“It’s not what you look at that matters.
It’s what you see.”
- Henry David Thoreau

I recently attended a 3-day personal success intensive seminar; it had been some time since getting out to class to tend to my perspective. Working primarily from home within my cozy environment, I had slowly drifted into a rut of routine and soon I found myself too close to my own circumstances with my wheels “stuck” in the mud of the rut. For some time I was feeling the resistance and then observed it creeping into my results so I began searching for fresh fodder with which to shift my current situation, the invitation to attend came in perfect timing.

It wasn’t long into the weekend that I realized how far into the rut I had gotten myself, how far I had strayed from doing the work that matters most, the activities that leverage positive outcomes and effectiveness and are the backbone of motivation, inspiration and empowerment.
