I am always looking out for inspirational stuff. And this time I found a very interesting short film “Historia de un Letrero” about the history of a sign.
Enjoy the movie 
It is amazing how we look at things. Sometimes it takes courage to see the same things from a different angle. By changing this angle amazing things happen, just like in the movie. So, next time you think about a situation or you have a difficult moment, think about this movie and change the way you look at it. I know, it might be a challenge, but by changing your view, you change your attitude and also your outcome. It might not be as bad as you think it is Another opportunity to learn a great lesson…
Anyway, this movie made me reflecting on my way of looking at things. You can be sure I’ll be putting it in perspective again On top of that I also made wonder how “blind” we are…and who will change our sign?
What about you? Did this movie influence you? Did you like the story?
Amazing what a short video can do, right?
Have fun, always,

Yes this does influence me. In fact it makes me even feel a bit uncomfortable because changing the situation is quite a simple gesture…is it really that simple to make a change? Most of the time we believe that changing is difficult and asks a lot of effort.

However, I don’t necessarily agree that change always takes a lot of effort. I see lots of examples in most of my trainings. People have developed a certain set of skills. They learned something from someone or just by themselves, but no-one ever told them how easy they can also get the same goal by using a shortcut.
Let me use an example. Let’s assume you drive from Antwerp to Ghent and then to Brussels everyday for 10 years now. I come along and tell you that there is a shorter way, drive the E19 or even the A12 to Brussels. Don’t you think most people will take one of these shortcuts from now on?
The only exception I see for this example is people who drive a convertible, when it’s sunny out there and when time is not an issue for them
Having said that, I hardly ever underestimate the power of patterns and how fixed most people are in their everyday routines. If you don’t change their motivation first, it becomes a challenge sometimes to create lasting change…
