"If you had to give three pieces of advice to a complete stranger that you felt certain would massively impact their happiness, success, and well-being, what would they be?"
Unsurprisingly, the answers, some of which I share below, have been fascinating, helpful, and fun. What I didn't expect was the value of the process to the person being asked the question!
What seems to happen is that in being asked to formalise a lifetime of experience into three pithy phrases, people become more aware of what it is they have to offer that is unique to them, and what starts as an intellectual exercise becomes a wonderful affirmation of our inner wisdom and inner knowing. Even better is the fact that because your three pieces of advice come directly from your self, you'll never have to worry about forgetting them!
Here are three of my favourite 3's so far...
1. Be authentic
2. Do what you love, do only what you love, and don't do what you don't love
3. Embrace whatever happens as a result!
-Jay Perry, life coach

1. Self-knowledge
2. Clear goals
3. Hellacious work ethic
-Cliff Reid, Founder and CEO, Eloquent Inc.

1. When you know something has to be done, ignore the people who expect you not to do it
2. Life's an adventure; remember to enjoy it
3. Count your blessings, not your curses
