Ikigai Thought for Today: Clouds in My Coffee
A mid-week reflection.
I'm enjoying my coffee while reflecting on...well, reflecting.
Going through my notes this morning and I came upon this from Henri Poincaré.
“To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.”
Don't be too certain in your doubts or your beliefs that you don't spend at least a little time challenging them...and drinking coffee.
Cheers!
Reflection is part of “What to do FIRST?” Focus on your own development, your priority. Implement something every day (do something!). Reflect on what you did. Could you have done it better? In this case, challenge it. Seek feedback and support. Asking for help is part of real leadership. Transfer learning; teach others. Then you really learn.
It occurs to me that that there is a strong probability that those who choose to neither doubt nor believe in anything are most likely not reflective enough to taste their coffee.
