Lost Wisdom

I had two wisdom teeth removed (under anaesthesia) a couple of weeks ago and have been absolutely shocked at the time it’s taken me to heal and recover. The exercise has become almost overwhelming at times, with headaches and phenomenal pain. The feelings I’ve had can best be expressed as….

Aaahhh!!!!

Recovery has been my focus of the last two weeks.

It reminds me though of these economic times and how for some, they are immersed in what’s going on around them. They cannot see a way out. There is perhaps a feeling of loss of control, of overwhelm and maybe the thought it’s hard to keep going! Of pulling up those covers and going back to sleep!

I am reminded like never before, of John Kehoe’s affirmation: “Every day in every way, it’s getting better and better.”

The principal of Kaizen (a concept created in Japan following World War II) also applies… It’s a concept where we can and need to make small improvements and on a continuous basis. The Kaizen philosophy is to “do it better, make it better, improve it even if it isn’t broken, because if we don’t, we can’t compete with those that do”

Remember to do something different everyday – even if it’s something small, it’ll make a big difference in the longer term.

Keep on keeping on & talk to you soon.

I’d love to hear what you’ve been doing differently lately.
