To Blunder

 

Today’s inspiration is drawn from the act of Blundering.

Blunder (n/v): a careless mistake; to act or speak clumsily

Sometimes it happens. You put your foot in your mouth; you miss an important detail that derails your project, or your budget, or your opportunity to make a smooth first impression.
You then might spend the next few minutes, hours, days, berating yourself – how could I have been so careless! How did I not see that!!

And life goes on.

To blunder, to make mistakes, is how we learn. To glean a shard of feedback from these experiences, to take a moment of reflection to assess the situation, is what being human is all about.

A Matter of TIME: Exploring Timelines to Create Change and New Possibilities

For some people life is straightforward, they simply march forward and put the past behind them. Others like to keep one eye over their shoulder as they move through life. Some take deliberate steps in the right direction, content when the past is left behind them, while others avoid the "right" way at all costs, choosing instead any direction that's left.

After this workshop, the sentences above will take on a depth of new meaning. We will explore the different fascinating ways that people unconsciously perceive themselves in relation to time, and discover the unique structure that works the best for you and your particular goals.
