A curious observation I made recently. As you know, I am most interested in success and what it means to us. Recently, I renewed a google alert on the word “success”. I hadn’t done this for a while and I wanted to see what I would get.
Alas, I was reminded of why I turned it off the last time that I did that. I got tons of links. Most of them were useless to my cause…. or were they.
The outcome, when I paid attention, surprised me. A good percentage of the alerts (40-50%) were articles from the sports. It is interesting and true how much the world of sport represents and reflects the larger world and the core concept of success. I’m not sure what else this tells us except that sports is a great science kit from which we can study success in the larger world.
I didn’t review all of the links. But, my guess is that success in most cases was all about winning. Now there’s a topic of discussion for another time.
Cheers, Paul

Happy New Year to All!!
It’s going to be another great year, again.
I’ve started a tradition in asking people to write down what you are excited about, what your New Year’s Resolutions are going to be, or what you want to declare this “The Year Of…”. Please feel free to add a comment below.
Declaring this to be “The Year Of…” something is a great way to give your year a focus. Give it a try.
If you are going to write down a resolution or two, consider writing the date the you are shooting to be complete by.
And always feel free to send me an email. info <at> mindscape.ca
All the Very Best to You,
Paul
PS. Don’t forget to check back next year to see how it went. You’ll be surprised
