Happy Thrive Thursday!
This week we discuss...Time Assets vs. Time Debts, Slow Change, and The Importance of Failure!
Here are 3 ideas, 2 quotes, and 1 question to consider this week...
Idea #1
Something I heard recently and I've tried to adopt whenever possible:
"Whoever has the most fun, wins."
Idea #2
"Water never complains, but always pushes back. Always.
Drop a boulder in front of a stream and the water will simply flow around it, taking whatever opening the landscape will give or, when nothing is offered, patiently building up its resources until it rises to a height where a new gap is found.
Flow like water. Never complain, but always push back."
Idea #3
"Time assets vs. Time debts.
Time assets are choices that save you time in the future.
Think: saying no to a meeting, automating a task, working on something that persists and compounds.
Time debts are choices that must be repaid and cost you time in the future.
Think: saying yes to a meeting, doing sloppy work that will need to be revised, etc.
Time assets are an investment. Time debts are an expense."
Quote #1
Actress Elizabeth Bibesco on the importance of failure:
"We learn nothing by being right."

Quote #2
Author and recovering alcoholic Sarah Hepola on slow change:
"Change is not a bolt of lightning that arrives with a zap.
It is a bridge built brick by brick, every day, with sweat and humility and slips.
It is hard work, and slow work, but it can be thrilling to watch it take shape.
