Road rumble strips aren't there to annoy us, neither to stop us from proceeding to our journey. They are there no wake us up, to get us back on track, to align our course and to do it on a safely manner
Knowledge and education are nowadays widely available, often for free. But even if from a financial standpoint knowledge and education are accessible, it demands something maybe more challenging: Time and effort.
Setting boundaries is an important trait that will avoid many troubles and solve many troubles, both at personal and at professional level. And by no means should it be taken as rude or feel apologetic about it. It's a fine trait of personality and of character.
What will define us throughout life is not our possessions or achievements but a habitat that we'll create of internal habits and external conditions where we will gravitate most of the time.
They will forge our character
Things they don't teach at school.pptxAmaro Araujo
Schools teach you how to make a living, but not how to live a life. So, we learn it the hard way and life for many of us is a journey of struggle and suffering.
Having the basics right, will help you out to cope with what life may throw at you. And it's not against you, but often for you.
We rush throughout our lives, existing or making a living but few of us are actually living.
We need to slow down and check where we are, who we are, who we want to become. Bills and responsibilities can´t be the sole or main driver of our lives that in most cases are not aligned with our values and with our conception of life. Do we spend sufficient time with those we love? do we pay attention to the world around us? do we help and support those in need?
We pass most of the day thinking and wondering about the past or the future, and very little time attentive and fully living what we are doing on the moment, on the present. It's extraordinary how in general we're looking back or forth but, when the only real moment is the one we're living in the present.
Urgent patience is a key trait of any good leader, although not widely spread or even applied. Under stress and pressure from markets, board of directors, business results or others, leaders tend to shout and scream for quick actions and results. But fail to run a quick critical thinking analysis and tend to misunderstand movement with action.
Our mind is one of our greatest assets but can also be the source of our suffering. Being attentive to our thoughts and thought habits is crucial to "educate" it and to set an habit of looking at the glass half full, not half empty

Negative feelings shouldn't be ignored or hidden just because we shouldn't feel that way - at least that's what the "positive mindset" torrent throws at us. Though, negative feelings are a very important yellow light to let us know there is unfinished business between our mind and our hearts
We tend to be on a never ending goose chase, always in the lookout for the next big thing that will bring is peace, joy and happiness. And in that process we tend to forget all that we have accomplished and all that we have become. More appreciation for what is and who we are, will make the journey to the next big thing much easier and pleasurable
we're often too attached to the past. Belongings, possession, memories, achievements, titles. And yes they are part of our construction, and we can revisit them once in a while, but we rather not live in permanent on a museum. Let go of the old in order to embrace the new
Whatever we aim or do, should be to impress ourselves, to elevate ourselves, to keep moving forward despite the set backs. To prove us wrong. Not show anyone.
Your delusional image of yourself.pptxAmaro Araujo
We tend to think and believe that our image is sacred, that everyone sees us exactly the same way, the way we see ourselves. This is far from true. Every single person, as a different perception of us, even our closest ones. Our partner sees us differently than our kids.
In the era of multitasking we often take it as a weakness if we turn down tasks or activities. we're afraid to come across a negative person or without skills and ambition to do more. But reality is, time is limited and we have a limited energy to spend and when we embrace more than we reasonably should, we may end up super tired, unease and even stressed out by lack of sufficient quality time.
The past doesn't have to be a powerful judge and punisher. It can and should be our ally to help us expand and evolve. But most of the times we're stuck, and we let ourselves drag on this feeling of being enchained with such past
Excluded any sort of interest, external opinions tend to be much more factual based and with clear analytics as it doesn't involve the opinion giver emotions and direct involvement, which tends to diminish the involved person views and analytical thinking
When we have no one bossing us or parents telling us what to do, we tend to lose discipline and accountability to do the things we know we should so but fail to do
Success is the result of many components and in most cases time is one of them. Long time. and what we see, is not - in most cases - a lucky strike, but the seed of many actions, determination, persistence, hard-work, resilience and even sacrifice
We go through life like the world depend on us. And yes we may have responsibilities we can't shake off. But if and when we're gone, the world will keep turning, indifferent to our passage or departure.
Life is not a straight line or a linear one, where you reach a certain plateau and stay there for the rest of your days. And along the way there will be ups and downs, accomplishments and setbacks. It's all part of the ride. All are somehow related
Don't beat anyone on their lowest moments. Not right after a failure or disappointment. Help them to get up and carry on and keep the lecture for later when theyare ready
Doing something extraordinary well that shouldn't be done at all is the worst you can do. You don't have to finish everything you started, if along the way the reasons and premise for your task at hand don't make sense any longer.
Sayig "No" doesn't have to be rude or non respectfull. Saying "no" is a choice of yours and determines a lot on how you drive your life, or let others drive it
It's extremely rare that an email stands alone and closes a topic, isue or story. In mos cases it's just the beggining of a long and sometimes heavy thread.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
1. I travel a lot by car, and that’s something I love.
It allows me to be with myself and my thoughts, listen to podcasts, enjoy the sights
or prepare and rehearse a presentation or customer meeting.
I didn’t have any accidents or significant risky situations in the last 20 years, But
once in a while, I hit the rumble strips on the side of the lane or road.
When it happens, you’re immediately “called back” to the moment to compose
yourself and pay attention because of the noise and discomfort they create.
And that’s great. It’s a kind of “wake-up call” that you’re moving away from your
path, and something’s not right. That you’re loosing focus.
That’s an analogy for what we experience in life.
We have dreams, hopes and expectations. We plan, and execute.
But once in a while, we get setbacks and get off the road or just let things go.
But those are not stop signs, but warning signs to allow us to align our course and
regain focus on our journey and objectives.
The role of rumble strips in our life
