I’d like to recommend a great new blog – State of Being by Joe Pulichene.
In his profile, Joe describes himself as, “Just another average Joe.” But his insights are nothing of the sort. By reflecting on his own personal and professional experiences, Joe has stumbled on to a powerful model that can help us shape our our lives as well as those that we lead.
Joe’s “State of Being Model” provides a simple, pragmatic model of the journey from:
- Wanna be – that point where we decide to pursue something new
- Could be – when we’ve begun to show some promise
- Be – when we’ve arrived
- Used to be – when we’ve lost some of our game but still retain some of that promise
- Has been – when our success is a just a memory rather than a reality
Joe also talks about the dreaded “should have been” state which occurs when something knocks us off our journey.
Joe’s ideas are profound while his writing is simple and enjoyable. He has a lot to offer. If you are trying to navigate your own journey to excellence, I’d encourage you to check out The State of Being at http://stateobeing.blogspot.com/. Be sure to read from the bottom up (earliest entries to most recent).
