Join 📚 Miroslav's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Miroslav's read, .
What I’ve found works best is when an organization’s leaders make it clear that they would prefer everyone to acknowledge when they honestly can’t meet their commitments and people who revoke commitments will not be punished. If someone has to revoke commitments often it can be an indication they need help. It may be that they are afraid they’ll be seen as someone who can’t deliver, they are chronically unrealistic about what they can do, or something in the organization’s systems or culture is getting in their way. But this can be a good opportunity to address the problem and correct it.
The Thin Book of Trust

If you’re going into the GAP dozens or hundreds of times per day, the psychological and physical impact of that are very real. Being in the GAP has a tangible physical effect—it is heavy, anxious, stressed, unhappy. The GAIN also has a tangible physical effect—it is light, energizing, freeing, and confidence building. The GAIN is the most powerful and energizing context for viewing any experience. Without question, the reason the “happy” nuns lived 10 years longer than “unhappy” nuns isn’t because they had fundamentally different lifestyles. Rather, the happy nuns simply perceived or coded the experiences they were having as “positive,” whereas the unhappy nuns coded the same experiences as negative or neutral. The difference between viewing an experience as positive or negative is tantamount to viewing a milkshake as 620 calories or 120 calories. When you’re in the GAIN, you perceive everything in your life—even the challenging experiences—as a GAIN. You could be going through a challenging and even stressful experience, but your body can positively handle that experience because you’re framing it as a GAIN.
The Gap and the Gain
Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan
When I accept myself and my feelings as they are, I become whole. I am no longer split – fighting or condemning part of myself. The power of self-acceptance and self-love builds within me. I acquire the ability to heal myself and the conditions of my life. I awaken the power for transformation.
