EQ can help us change perspectives through self-awareness and self-perception. I can't stop thinking about this young boy's story. A "disruptive" doodler turning into a commissioned artist? It hits close to home. Because: My son was that kid who "spent too much time 'playing' on the computer".... Now an engineer, working in Machine Learning for a living. And we see this pattern everywhere: ↳Walt Disney was fired for "lacking imagination" → Created a magic kingdom ↳Richard Branson dropped out due to dyslexia → Built Virgin by seeing patterns others missed ↳Oprah was told she was "too emotional" and "talked too much" → Built a billion-dollar empire by connecting through conversation What we label as problems often become superpowers: ↳Too talkative → Master communicator ↳Too persistent → Unstoppable force ↳Too different → Innovation leader ↳Too dreamy → Visionary thinker The transformation begins when we flip the script: ↳Not "How do we fix this?" → But "Where could this lead?" ↳Not "Why are they different?" → But "What might they see that we don't?" 📌 Your 24-Hour Challenge: For yourself: ↳Find that trait everyone said to "tone down" ↳Ask: "Who succeeded because of, not despite, this trait?" For someone you guide: ↳Notice their "challenging" behaviour ↳Research someone successful who shared that trait ↳Help them see their "disruption" as potential direction Because remember: Sometimes the very thing they're trying to dim Is exactly what's meant to light up the world ✨ Remember: History's greatest game-changers didn't fit in. They weren't meant to. They were meant to stand out. 🌟 What "problem" trait are you starting to see differently? 👇 Let me know in the comments⬇️ P.S. Repost this  to help others see the potential in themselves and those they guide. ♻️ And follow me Véronique Barrot for more posts like this.

What's the point in anything without inspiration? Think about it. Why do you do what you do? You either do it because you want to or because you are made to or out of duty. For example, what inspires us to make the bed? It is not simply the rule is it? Making the bed has a purpose, doesn't it? Perhaps that purpose is to reset and refresh so that when we return to the bed it feels prepared for us. When we feel inspired to make the bed, the task becomes a joy. It's really that simple isn't it? Inspiration is purposeful and connects us and supports us, to feel motivated and connected to the task at hand. When we feel inspired to learn, we feel ignited to provide a service or product and move in a way that supports the activation of what needs to be provided. Without feeling inspired we can drag and feel less likely to be engaged. When we are learning, feeling inspired is the first requirement or else the push is uphill all the way.
