Humainologie creative dialogue team practice next Wednesday October 14

“Losing my dad exacerbated my sense that there was no time to sit around and ponder how my life should go. My father was just fifty-five when he died. Suzanne [a friend who had died unexpectedly] had been twenty-six. The lesson there was simple: Life is short and not to be wasted. If I died, I didn’t want people remembering me for the stacks of legal briefs I’d written or the corporate trademarks I’d helped defend. I felt certain that I had something more to offer the world. It was time to make a move.” - Michelle Obama

I will send the Zoom link for our team practice session, as well as a synopsis of Michelle Obama’s book, soon. Here are two exercises for team practice next Wednesday. Like Michelle Obama, you have something more to offer the world. If you practice week by week, you will enable yourself to make that gift to the world that only you can give.

1. The first exercise assumes you already have an idea for something you would like to actualize in the year ahead. Perhaps it’s been a dream of yours for a long time, perhaps you have already begun working on it. By structuring this goal or dream of yours into a quest, with a timeline and a way to measure your progress, you will empower your creativity and make your dream achievable. You might also keep a journal to record your progress. That journal might become a treasure for your grandchildren. Between now and next Wednesday October 14, structure your vision as a quest, and share it with us at team practice.

2. The second exercise is to come up with an idea for a quest we could do together as a Calgary dialogue group over the year ahead.

Just imagine!
