HAVE A SMASH UP BIRTHDAY
  
Happy birthday to all the "July" babies.
Here's a fun e-card to brighten your day even more.
Remember that your friends get to have "July" all year long.
And thank you for all the birthday greetings!
YOU HAVE HIDDEN POTENTIAL
Adam Grant is a organizational psychologist who has been studying how anyone can achieve greatness through character, motivation, and learning—not just talent.
In his book Hidden Potential, you will read about the power of resilience, humility, and purpose in unlocking success; how innate genius is a myth, and how underdogs thrive in adversity (that's me).
I love quizzes for the curiosity of it and he offers 4 quizzes to assess (1) which skill could unlock your hidden potential, (2) how often do you think again, (3) think you know what it takes to be original, (4) are you a giver, taker, or matcher?
YOU ARE ALL MINDSETS
Remember that when science tries to categorize people, it is to sort out data to find patterns.
People are way too complex to be put into a box because we are all of the categories at different times.
For example, in his post on The Four Change Mindsets by Jay Kiew, Board Director of the Project Management Institute West Coast Chapter, he offers that people have a default mindset.
After reviewing the 4 quadrants, I am all four mindsets - depending on the situation.
These mindsets serve a purpose and are useful for self-preservation, and it does take mindfulness to be self-aware when to shift and adopt a new approach.
