Discover Who You Are and Do It On Purpose

by Marnie Pehrson KuhnsCollaboration, EntrepreneurshipPosted on No Comments

Dolly Parton once said, “Discover who you are and do it on purpose.” I couldn’t agree more!

The older I get the more I realize that life is much simpler, joyous and successful when I work with my strengths and innate abilities and don’t fret over weaknesses or try to be someone I’m not. There are lots of wonderful people I can lean on to augment my weaknesses; and it’s through collaboration that I find exquisite joy.

This makes life a journey of self-discovery. It’s exploring different things to decide what activities, hobbies and interests click. Along the way, I’m getting clearer on the distinctions between what I like and don’t like… so I can do more of what makes me happy!

Defining Moments

by Marnie Pehrson KuhnsEntrepreneurshipPosted on No Comments

Have you ever thought about the moments that define who you are. Perhaps you made a belief about life or yourself in that moment that set the tone for your actions from that point forward. Sometimes defining moments are negative, and other times they have positive consequences.

The following are three moments that have defined me in a positive way. Ironically, one of them was what most would perceive as a negative event.

Dangers of the Full Court Press

by Marnie Pehrson KuhnsEntrepreneurship, WorkaholismPosted on 8 Comments

Anyone who has had a child in recreation league basketball has seen the mad frenzy that happens in the last couple minutes of every ball game. Whether one team is far ahead or whether the game is tight, there is this full court press that little league coaches tend to have the children do. The crowd cheers louder and the game gets sloppier by the second.

As the clock ticks down, more mistakes are made and poor judgment abounds. Yesterday, I watched this happen in my son’s ball game. His team was down by about 6 points, and the opposing team started pressing. In the frenzy, the competition made sloppy mistakes and unnecessary fouls, and my son’s team ended up coming back from behind and winning the game by two points.

I think a lot of us do the same thing in life when we feel like we’re running out of time. In our frenzied race with time we get sloppy. We make mistakes, experience undue pressure, and our judgment suffers. Things that would have turned out fine if we’d kept our cool can easily turn south.

The same thing can happen to us in life…
