Full Circle & Synchronicity

I love it when things come full circle. I thought I had 2 examples...but it magically turned into 3!

1) I was having a discussion with someone about something. I called this particular thing going on "growing pains". That person thought that was an interesting way to think about it. Then time passed and I have a feeling that person talked about it with at least one other person because suddenly I was having lunch with someone else completely when I heard my own words come out of this other person's mouth. She was talking about how this particular thing was like "growing pains". So funny! So either it was just an interesting coincidence; or that whole thing just went FULL CIRCLE and I got to hear my own words be said back to me!


2) I follow this blog called SYNCH-RO-NI-ZING. She had this video that I liked by Will Hoffman. So then I did a search on You Tube for Will Hoffman and found another video by him. It wasn't as great as the first one but it was fun since he's talking about the law of nature. So then I get done watching that and end up watching this video about...(you guessed it!)... SYNCHRONIZING!!! I love that! I love when life works like that!

I highly recommend watching it. I could go on about how it relates to life and human behavior at work but I have boundaries and try not to write about work on my blog - especially on labor day weekend! Anyway - this all led me to an interesting looking website which I haven't spent much time on but have a feeling I'll enjoy.

3) Totally off-topic but really quickly:
There is this ridiculous article in the paper today. I almost felt like I was reading the tabloids there was so much spin in this thing. I gave an earful to my poor husband when he asked me about it and he told me I should write them a letter in response. I told him that I'm sure the 'powers that be' will have that covered. Don't believe everything you read folks. Even if there are kernals of truth - there is ALWAYS MORE TO THE STORY. You have nothing unless you have all the facts. It reminds me of Gossip.

I read a study once that said people believe the gossip they hear more than the facts in front of them. MORE THAN THE FACTS IN FRONT OF THEM. That's some powerful stuff folks! I hate gossip. Can't stand it. Try to stay away from it. Try not to spend too much time with those who love to hear and spread it. Gossip only gives you one side of the story and often that one side of the story isn't 100% accurate.

I always like to get my facts from the SOURCE. Go to the CORE. Go to the ROOT. Get to the HEART of an issue. Get to the BOTTOM of a matter. I love that. I love writing that.

When will our workplaces evolve into places where "office politics" is a thing of the past?! I think we're getting there little by little my friends. The reason I know this is because the very thing that will help us get there - is the very thing I was talking about when I had those "growing pains" conversations. How's that for life bringing this blog post FULL CIRCLE for me?!

Seriously folks. I'm not making this stuff up. This is how my life works! LOVE it!
