BrainPint - Positive Accidents

Hi everyone,

Happy belated Thanksgiving! Hope all of you enjoyed the festive cheer. 

This week we're exploring positive accidents, tackling life debt and learning about powerful levers we can utilize.

Cheers,

Treating Life Debt Like Technical Debt
What's technical debt? "Many companies, in an effort to ship more features for customers, keep adding, patching, and fixing. This works until you hit a wall." The same applies to your lives and you start accumulating debt. Moves need to be made to address debt. Pay down your family debt by spending time with those you love. Declutter your homes and donate unused items to clear home debt.

So Many Accidents
"The ones we notice are the negative ones [...]
But we’re surrounded by positive accidents as well, too many to mention. And often, we forget to mention them [...] 
To have a chance to read and to speak and to connect. To be surrounded by opportunities that others never even dreamed of."

Need Motivation? Make a Price Pact
