Hi all,
Mirrors do not lie to us, they present the truth – the way you look.
Mirrors are often the most effective tools to tell us if we still
young or aging, but it will not help solve the problem. Have we ever
looked at mirrors that can project what is inside us. I believe most
of us haven't. If ever we could then those mirrors would provide
profound insights into significant opportunities for change and
performance improvement. We are often trapped by the images we hold
of ourselves and are well advised to step out and beyond, from time
to time, for an objective reality check.
We need to come out of our "mindset."
And if what you're doing isn't working - do something different!
Consider the following ...
I got what I asked for but I wanted something different!
I got what I wanted but I need something different now!
Why don't things work the way they used to?
If this situation were funny, what would I be laughing at?
How would I view this problem if I were 20 years older? Or 20 years
younger?
What would I do, say, or think differently if this problem was an
opportunity?
What would happen if this situation meant exactly the opposite of
what I think it does?
How did the old solution work in the past? Is the solution now the
problem?
What is the larger issue for which this is only a part?
What does the person creating this problem really want?
Am I reacting out of habit and old brain programming?
Am I blocking emotions or feelings which limit my freshness and
creativity?
How must I be different to be effective?
What would a great solution really look like?
Is this the best we (I) can do?
What would my great performance look like?
What do I need to learn to be effective and prepare for tomorrow?
What do I know that just isn't so?
Am I part of the problem? And how do I move to be part of the
solution?
What actions am I prepared to take to remove the obstacles that I
create?
What about you reminds me of what I don't like about me?
Am I creating owners or dependents?
Is anyone having fun yet?
What is it that we really want to create here?
How many individuals have I inspired today?

Rajat Joshi
