Revolution not Resolution: 1: The Blank Canvas

Resolutions do work. But not well enough, often enough or quickly enough. That's because we generally only address a symptom or a more superficial issue. In a time, in a world, in an economy where things are challenging enough anyway, resolutions suck. Bring on your own personal revolution.

But how? Part of the key to starting your personal revolution, to never going back to the old crappy way of doing things is to push through and past the same same old patterns of thinking and behaviours which lock us down. The 'wanna', the 'shoulda' the 'oughta', the 'told you so' and genuinely get some fresh thinking.

But how? Man/woman and language is a powerful combo of course. But not only does language liberate it traps us. It is our silent code. We say daft stuff such as '"I could never do that". When actually we could. The sentence is the barrier not the commute, mountain nor desert.

And so? Skip language for an hour or so. Take the largest blank sheet of paper you can get. Perhaps tape some A4 pieces together (Kurt may use legal) and then draw. Yes draw. Drawing breaks the patterns. No words, just draw.

But what? How do you want things to be in 24 months in your personal world? Draw 'it'.

Yes: just draw.

Yes: any and all aspects of your life.

Yes: want. We'll sort the details later.

Now go draw. Pencil and paper.
