TRIP TIP #26 “Act Now! Don't Wait!”

Hi, this is Keith Renninson “The Tenacity Expert” professional speaker & author of the award-winning book “Tenacity, You Don’t Have to Get Lost in Nepal to Find Yourself, But it Helps!”.  I’m here with my next installment of my TRIP Tips for the financial services professional.  Remember that TRIP is an acronym for TENACITY, RESILIENCE, IMAGINATION, AND PURPOSE.  So, lets’ get started!

You know what it feels like…you’ve just meditated, a exciting new idea came to you and you’re on fire about it.  While you've got the buzz, that thrilling fun energy, and while you're in the "zone" of creativity keep it buzzin'!  God and the Universe love action when a new idea is beginning to surface, so while it’s fresh in your mind, flesh out the idea in every way possible.

In a 1930 letter, Albert Einstein wrote to mathematician Oswald Veblen, “Nature conceals her secrets because she is sublime, not because she is a trickster.”  Einstein loved to sail and said of it, “A cruise in the sea, is an excellent opportunity for maximum calm and reflection on ideas from a different perspective.”

Have you ever wondered where ideas come from? I know it sounds crazy, but I have always felt that there is a pool of invisible spiritual energy that contains new ideas waiting to be discovered.  They are in a cloud of energy that surrounds the earth waiting for one of us mortals to slow down long enough to receive the thought we are seeking.  When you are ready and happen to tap into that pool and receive an idea, you should take it seriously.  You should work quickly and diligently until the creativity and the details about the idea are exhausted, keep receiving for as long as you can.

We all have our little quirky ideas about life on earth and that's one of mine.  Does my metaphysical idea cloud exist?  I have no idea, but what I do know is that when we are ready for our next great idea it appears out of nowhere.  If you receive one act on it right away, don't lose the energy that comes with it.

Well, that’s it for this installment, I hope you have some new ideas on how to proceed.  Remember to take a TRIP for a lifetime, not a trip of a lifetime.

See you next time, and in the meantime, be calm like Einstein and let your imagination run away with itself, it will be fun to see what ideas surface for you.

Goodbye!

Keith......

Team Building Strategies with TRIP and Imagination

By Keith Renninson • 07 Apr, 2023
This is the second in a series of four on team building with TRIP. Remember, in my last blog I shared that it would be performed in reverse with “purpose” first and now we will implement the “imagination” section. Imagination is probably the most fun of the character traits of TRIP. I love it because I can immerse myself in creativity and play!

TEAM BUILDING STRATEGIES WITH TRIP

By Keith Renninson • 28 Mar, 2023
How can TRIP help with team building you ask? By using it backwards! Huh? Yup, we will start with “Purpose” instead of Tenacity. The series will move from purpose to imagination, to resilience, and lastly to tenacity. When you look at TRIP from this reverse perspective it becomes clear that it flows naturally in team building and task completion. As with any project you must know your purpose first, so that’s where we will start.
