#sirkenrobinson #findingyourelement 👈📚📖 ______________________ I liked Ken Robinson's conquering personality ever since I discovered him on YouTube. He's a kind of teacher that any parent would want for his child. He's passionate about research into non-formal education. His books appear to be that boring kind of self-help-development books but only at first glance. At a deeper level, Sir Ken reveals a wisdom of inexhaustible force. "Finding your Element" is almost a conversational but practical handbook in which he presented himself in the same sincere and benevolent manner as he speaks. It shows us the pathways through which we can find professionally behavior patterns designed to help in finding career happiness. THE ELEMENT = HAPPINESS. It's useful if you accept the game, useless if you're lazy to go through the proposed exercises, with sometimes uncomfortable questions. What does it mean to be in your element? To do something that seems so natural to you that you have the feeling that you really are that thing. By revealing how passions connect with attitudes we can find out which is that thing that motivates us in life and what we can do to make it easier for us to access it. We need time and space for a real disconnection to help us gradually dive into inner self and 'discover ourselves'. "Discovering your Element is vital in order to understand who you are and what you're capable to be and to do in your life." He criticizes the universal education system that emphasizes the results of standardized tests that ridicules children's artistic talents. The goal is to be happy with what you are. Your way is unique, you can find out where it starts, not where it ends. If you really want to define a goal according to your passions and the potential that they involve, then this book can be a guide in this direction. Passion is more important than talent. Passion can fuel the energy of doing things that become a goal of your life. Action on the Self is the stated purpose of this book. You got nothing to change to you? The book is not for you. ________ #findingyourelementkenrobinson #sirkenrobinsonquotes #throughmyglasses #bookreview #elisium #snapabook https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAwmkgnJFq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d6lzt4sbl72y

Stay open to risks and to possiblities

“All quests involve risks and you can’t anticipate them all. They involve opportunities too and you can’t foresee all of those, either. You can only set a direction and take the first steps. You then need to stay open to risks and to possibilities and be wiling to respond to both. This is how the creative process works and how organic processes take their shape. Martin Luther King had just this in mind when he said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” 

... 

Do you hope to enjoy your life or just endure it? “

-- Finding Your Element, Ken Robinson

You’re not limited to one Element for life

“ “I found it very rewarding having to challenge myself late in my career. Once you start to get too comfortable with a job, watch out, because you might be freewheeling and not all using all of your mental and physical assets to your best advantage.”

... Your life doesn’t have to play on a single track. You’re not limited to one Element for life. Some people find they love several things equally: others that their passions shift and evolve. Finding your Element for now doesn’t mean that you’re locked into it forever. Your life can be multifaceted, evolutionary, and in a process of constant growth and possibility. “

-- Finding Your Element, Ken Robinson

Your starting point does not determine your eventual course of life

“If there’s one thing I would say to someone who wants to take the risk of doing what they love, it would be to learn to bear anxiety. It’s the price of allowing yourself to answer the question, “What’s next?” But paying that price can lead to a completely different level of fulfillment. (...) There can be risks in taking the high road to your Element. But there are other sorts of risks in ignoring the call of your spirit. If you know what your Element is, you can only ignore it by damping down the parts of you to which it appeals. The result can be a dull spiritual ache that holds you back where there should be an impulse of energy that drives your forward.

(...)

One important reason for keeping your options open is that we’re not limited to one Element for life. Some people find they love several things equally; others that their passions shift and evolve. Finding your Element for now doesn’t mean that you’re locked in to it forever. In fact, when you ask, “What’s next?”  the question can easily become, “What else?””

The saddest thing... #currentread #actuallyrereading #FindingYourElement #KenRobinson #LouAranica

[soulawakeningblog]

It's not only aptitude and passion that lie at the heart of finding your Element. It's also your attitude. (...) How you respond to the world around you deeply affects how the world responds to you. If you act differently in the world, you may find that new people come into your life (...). New opportunities turn up.
