When I first watched this video I was intrigued. Now, post-COVID, I re-watched it and it helped me to re-allocate some thoughts on our new World order!

Asking the right questions
It sounds easy and we take for granted but asking the right questions takes a lot. But if we want to continue growing and understand the risks attached, we need to engage with it. Asking ourselves but asking others.
Learned some lessons recently. At first, we go through denial, then understanding and own reflection. We heard other people’s experience until it reaches you. When it is time for action.
Yes, a learning curve. Keeping a growing mindset takes a lot of discipline, courage and self-understanding. Worth every second you spend on it!
A great opportunity to react to your own self! And sometimes, silence brings you forwards as part of the reflection.
It is part of our grand plan and it will continue to involve.
Very luck to have a great partner asking great questions.
less! might it be more? or more is less?
there’re a log of thoughts out there on how the world will look like after we overcome this health calamity.
it is true to say it’s a great opportunity to continue with self-improvement both on the individual and professional levels. It is, no doubt!
we might enter into a period where everything will be about LESS. All around us will be optimised, rationalised, and improved. All life improvements, while we might gain productivity and use our time in a different way. Which way, depends on each of us, however, it’s a great time to take hidden dreams and have a go with them!
the new LESS normal was there before e.g. touchLESS solutions will continue to spread across industries. Other trends are emerging as LESS-live audiences, LESS everything which requires distancing. At least until a vaccine is available.
the MORE normal is re-inforcing previous trends: digitalisation, health, and wellness.
+ but we don’t live in distances – our social strengths show overtime that personal interaction is crucial to problem-solving. Also here, other requisites are key moving forward e.g. flexibility, authenticity, and willingness to interact with no hidden agenda. Emotions are good, especially now!
the MORE we share our stories, the MORE will be reached!
being a catalyst, all these have an important value to me. not a new problem to solve but an honest assessment of my own
less or more? more or less?
Secrets of ONE Catalyst!
Being someone with a very high intrinsic drive and imperfect, I decided to setup a blog | MUD IN YOUR TOE. The name already says it: let’s get muddy! … to find a solution, get cleaned and move on!
Why a blog? | Basically for the overall progress, learning, collaboration. Storytelling by someone who believes there is always more to do, different ways to get results, original.
Out of a survey not long ago about my best-self, four words sticked out: High, Result, Forward, Think. Since then I started to frame these words into a scope that did not exist at that time, a scope of a catalyst person.
Continuing this discovery, I want to engage with the wider community and discover more secrets about catalysts! Who is up to it?
Positivity 5.0
Out of blue today during my run at Sao Lorenzo Trail in Faro, positivity just settled in. With no warning! But when I need it, sometimes I struggle.
There are good exemples around me simply and willingly pushing this to me but still sometimes I have to stop and find myself again.
Great exercise today, mental one! Running under the gliding slope of Faro Airport, watching the flamingos flying around the salt pits are just good examples that I really took my time to myself today and observed how nice everything fits together!
Emotional Challenge
Everybody talks about being our self-best! True!
Overtime I found out that mental and emotional challenge not only new perspectives but closer to people. In a different way! Something in common, self-reflective, enduring!
Looking back, recalling comments from others I realise now that I was practicing this but was not at all aware of it!
Great realisation also knowing other potentials we have! Feeling good and a bit more complete!
Sinking in, sunshine, breeze!
Something
Everyone has something we don’t know!
Energy!
It simply comes watching my kids growing up. No baby any longer. Participative discussion and a ever self-discovery journey with my two daughters! Yep, they are growing and we are too. We have to realise it, feel the joy and mirror this into our own journey! The discovery goes further, beyond the places we had imagine! Let’s do this! Simple energy!
Value and Ethics
Sometimes I am hit badly by situations which confront my values and ethics. And what keep me going, a apart of a big and deep breath, are the same values e ethics!
Just reading today some evaluations I have got sometime ago and it fuelled additional motivation to keep cool. Being myself, me, I am!
Still a lot to learn. Those around me, very, very close, are so important, a great sign of happiness and lots of love!
Suck it in!
First run of the year yesterday and finally managed 10k in 35C degrees. Today another 7k at a better pace. On top of beating myself I realise that whatever success we reach, small or large, we have to suck it in immediately! You own it!
