As you might have remembered, on Monday I have attended a workshop which actually still makes me think. Among other comments made by Esa Saarinen, I took down what he calls the 007 Philosophy:

1. Don't get irritated!
2. Immediate action
3. Self respect
4. Secret weapon
5. Style
6. The true significance of the current missionw ill become clear later in the Bahamas
7. In Her Majesty's Secret Service

Some of them are simply for fun (at least this is my interpretation), but some are worth reflecting, especially 1, 3 and 5. And for sure a secret weapon is handy.

But now to a very serious matter: who was the best James Bond? Anyone interested in voting? :) Just click below on the link if you want :)

Thanks!

Motto:

An average human 'looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odour or fragrance, and talks without thinking.'
― Leonardo da Vinci

Day after day, you decide on how your life evolves, how minutes pass away. Positive thinking does influence your daily routine. Experiencing positive emotions or events leads to a tipping point beyond which you can effortlessly achieve what you could have only imagined.

At the same time if you get the support of others, the back up of fellows, you are receiving a tremendous lift, what Esa Saarinen calls Magical Uplift which expands your potential, releases creativity channels and increases your inner self perspective.

I may sound a bit unusual today, but I just realised that in the end you do take the decision of how you act, you own your path. 8 hours in Esa Saarinen's seminar (the so called punk doctor, a Finish philosopher) made me really think.

He describes his events like this:

'In order to change our lifes, we have to change our thinking. But we are not very experienced to work with our thinking, particularly when it comes to challenging the mental models within us that direct our attitudes, actions and responses. I try to create a situation where the participant could identify her mental models, core values and beliefs and have a chance to reflect upon these fundamentals.'

I feel full of ideas, of energy, of enthusiasm. For sure I will use this momentum to keep on asking questions, to be inquisitive, to value each moment, to remain positive. And I will keep this thinking process, somehow I know this is only the beginning! I do own this process!

And as an ending a very unsual example which Esa used to show how you are able to overcome your own condition if you are ready to assess the situation, make decisions and walk your talk!
