Past Experiences Can Be Repurposed - A New Way to View Failure
I’m always happy to pass on great info...and this is great info! I’ve included a few snippets below lifted from the full article.
With the right mindset shifts, you can extract the gold you need from the past and present to pave the way forward in every area of your life. Let’s get started.
Step 1: REFLECT
It’s like doing an audit of the contents of your house that has accumulated over many years. Some things have been handed down to you from generations past and some you have bought yourself. Some things have special meaning and remind you of people, places and experiences. This can enduce hoarding, holding on to things that you just don’t need anymore for fear of what giving them up may produce.
Step 2: REPURPOSE
Once we have competed the audit, we need to decide what to do with what we have accumulated. Some things will need to be trashed and others can be repurposed. Just like an old antique furniture piece that is collecting dust and taking up space could put be to better use, so too can your past experiences be repurposed. A dresser can be stripped back and renewed with a nice coat of paint and some new handles, making it relevant for today. You have the power to give it new life. You can also do this with the content of your past.
Step 3: REDEPLOY
Step 3 is to redeploy the learnings and new beliefs into the goals and projects you are working on today, tomorrow and beyond. Now that they have had a makeover, they become valuable resources instead of roadblocks.
