Old plans and strategies always teach you something you can use later, if you allow the lesson in.

Generally old plans cannot form the basis of the new, the next adventure, and should not.

But ask yourself about the last big project, the stages it went through, assumptions and corrections, aims and course corrections. See that, a little wisdom sneaking in!

Now the new adventure is yours to mould and make supreme.

Brush your teeth.

Make your bed.

Polish your shoes.

Eat your vegetables.

Take the dog for a walk.

All good advice.

Or is it?

Only you can decide.

Whether you are in a meeting that seems to go on too long, a dinner that has no surprises or a play that’s just stretched out. you can add your own swathes of colour.

Add ideas and nuances even if it’s a msitake to express them you can think bright thoughts, and thus enjoy the time to the full.

Study people’s expression, listen harder to their voices and of course contribute to the sway.

You can cook.

Everyone can cook if they choose to be “able to cook”.

You do not need to follow recipes. I do not. Recipes often create hard work out of a simple process…..wonder why!

Does this mean you can do anything?

Yes. Though how well will vary – there is a part of any ability that is just that, an ability.

Try it anyway. I think you and your guests will enjoy the results.

Begin a new book or start crafting something out of wood.

Walk at different paces during the day – not just second gear, try first and fourth!

Clean something you have left for weeks.

Or not…because it is your choice.
