Through Another's Eyes

Bud Bilanich is an author, fellow blogger and member of my Powerquotes Plus service. Bud posted yesterday about his experience with Powerquotes Plus - which is an email service that delivers a quotation, Questions to Ponder and Action Steps five days a week.

When I created this service I knew I was creating it based on what I knew about learning - that both questions/reflection and action are important to us owning and capitalizing on something we have learned. In Bud's post though he expands this idea beyond quotations. I quote:

Whether you subscribe to Kevin's Powerquotes Plus or not, you can still use his simple, but powerful approach to personal development. Here's how to do it.

Take a few minutes to think about quotes or information that catch your attention.
Ask yourself what the quote or information bite means to you.
Then decide how you're going to put this newfound knowledge into practice.

Bud is absolutely right. We can take this approach to any new information or new ideas we encounter everyday.

Sometimes we are too close to something and need someone else to help us expand our perspective. I thank Bud for doing that.

I encourage you to read his full post and further explore his blog - The Common Sense Guy. The blog reminds me of one of my favorite truths - common sense isn't always common practice. Reading Bud's blog (and taking his advice above) will help you make more of your common sense, common practice.
