Today we’re talking about Grown Up Wonder.
Wonder is one of the three aspects of Tenet #2 of Intentional Optimism, being Present.
Intentional Optimism using The Sailboat Analogy:
- Optimistic = The boat - the hull, the vehicle that gets you from island A to island B.
- Present = The centerboard - keeps you upright, focused, “centered,” if you will.
- Courageous = The rigging - this holds everything together and makes it work - your resilience.
- Energetic = The sail - without this, your boat can’t go anywhere, but when the sail fills - wow!
- Wise = The rudder - keeps you on track, heading in the right direction
- Intentional = Setting everything up to properly capture the wind
