Read a fascinating book – Power of Moments by Chip & Dan Heath.
Unique perspectives on ‘defining moments‘ that shape our lives. Surprisingly, we can somehow create them!
When recalling experiences, we remember specific moments – peaks, pits, milestones, transitions. A defining experience is a ‘moment‘ – unique, memorable, meaningful.
Often, we think rewards are proportional to time invested in planned endeavours (work, personal). But, rewards are only measured by a few extra-ordinary, inspiring moments! Responsive, compassionate, purposeful, joyous interactions at work, play. Therefore, duration of time invested is less significant than it’s derived value in precious moments. Just one defining moment is enough to impact the course of work, personal lives, entire history.
What matters most – ‘defining moments’. We can make moments matter – celebrating small peaks, overcoming challenges with self-belief, memorable connections, identifying great possibilities, being authentic versions of selves.
Recommend a fun read. Intriguing analysis, perspectives, ideas.
