In Og Mandino’s scroll Marked IV, he says that each one of us is nature’s greatest miracle, because there is no one else just like us, and we each have a responsibility to proclaim our uniqueness to the world. He even goes so far as to say we need to fan the flame of dissatisfaction with ourselves. That seems like a bizarre statement, doesn’t it? But no. He simply means that we each need to be ourselves. I need to be the best ME I can be…and get better and better at that every day!
The continual improvement I am seeking isn’t to be more like someone else. It is to be myself….even better. He even goes on to say a very powerful statement I am now embracing with full enthusiasm: “I will begin now to accent my differences and hide my similarities. I am a unique creature of nature. I am here to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.”

This is the real heart of this course – it really is “all about me”. That’s not about being self-centered. It means no one else is like me, no one else can be me, and I am completely responsible for me.
Yes, Stu….and no one else can tell me what my paradise looks like….except me!
I love how you synthesize continual improvement with celebrating your vibrant, alive, unique self. Nicely said!
Be the best “me” I can be…love that. Something I am striving for each day too.
Kaizen – I LOVE that word. When I worked in manufacturing we had Kaizen programs – always wanting to improve. Interesting how the word comes back to me 12 years later, but I strive at Kaizen daily – it is naturally in me. Thanks for the reminder! Great Job!
