Or maybe it’s 1 person.

Or the last 20 people you spent time with.

Of course, the number doesn’t matter as much as the people.

“What’s a significant impact you’ve made?” will tell you more than “Send me your resume.”

“How do you do it all?!” is more telling then “What’s your morning routine?”

Open-ended questions are the powerful ones.

So powerful, in fact, they’re worth asking ourselves rather than waiting to be asked.

What do you want your legacy to be?

How have you improved someone’s life?

What’s the biggest leap in experience you’ve made for yourself?

No, not the kind of content that one creates or that this blog is. Content as in a peaceful state of mind.

Becoming content isn’t about getting others to align with your idea or motivation (though it can help).

It’s an effective practice, not just medically, but with other projects, too.

After you think you’ve truly surprised and delighted someone, how can you continue a bit more?

After a purchase is complete, how do you continue adding value?

Stay Positive & What Happens After It’s Visibly Gone?

Some stickers come off easily.

Others require nail polish remover (with acetone, btw).

One thing is the same about the stickers though: the stickiness was intentional.

How sticky your product or service is shouldn’t be an afterthought. It’s not a result you hope for. Nor is it something that’s left in the air or to fate.

Stickiness is intentional.
