Yesterday during a Tim Ferris Podcast, I heard about a couple ideas that I love. He was speaking to Jim Collins.
One was "Who Lucky". Who were you lucky to meet along your journey, who helped grow you into who you are? Who was there at the right moment in time to give you what you needed? Who was the role model? Who would be mentioned in the most influential people list?
My Who Lucky list is truly amazing. There are folks who have walked parts of the journey with me offering wisdom, courage and a path forward.
When in my darkest times, they appeared with the right and perfect answer. A book and author were sent my way.
They were an ear to listen and an eye to witness my pain.
As I walked along the path of speaking out, some would steer clear and others came closer.
My Who Lucky ones held my truth with reverence, not dismissal.
I believed in me, and their cheers encouraged me to be braver, always.
My Who Lucky ones, helped unravel that which I had wrong.
Being strong enough to tell me the truth I needed to hear.
When you think of your life, and see the people you were lucky to meet, perhaps marry and have as children, they make your Who Lucky list.
Friends who you feel lucky to have spent time with, who walked with you in times of trouble or in moments of adventure and growing, they make the Who Lucky list.
New friends whose presence brings you calm assurance you are walking in a healing direction.
My Who Lucky list are those who have touched my life and helped me be who I now am.
I want to thank all those who are on my Who Lucky List!
Another thing Jim Collins spoke about was to rate his day.
I will put this in my words, since I can't remember his rating system.
2+ is a day where you did something amazing, a new fun thing, or an old fun thing, but with a great friend. A great day!
2 is a day where you had a good day, an overall positive flowing day.
1+ is maybe a day were it wasn't outstanding, just a regular ho hum day.
1 is a bland day, leaning towards lower feelings.
-1 is you feel down, tired and uninspired.
0 is you are in a slump and can't seem to find the energy to move.
He would put a number on the calendar by his bedside each night to give him a sense of how his week and or life is going. If there were too many 1's he would add more 2's if he could. Knowing what made a great day for him.
What I know is that my life holds so many awesome Who Lucky people who have also made my days 2+ days.
