Explanation Point

Can the exclamation point be overused?

Why indeed it can! Or, as this clip from Seinfeld shows, its absence can cause a relationship to end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyRLFWF2v_U.


The exclamation point represents an "aha" moment for me.  And when I began working with a coach,  I was able to carry the short half life of an "aha" into a sustainable, repeatable action that made my work and life better.


The exclamation point symbolizes awareness.  This I believe is our human superpower, readily available to us. Awareness creates space and, well, I'll let Viktor Frankl have the last word on this: "Between stimulus and response lies a space. In that space lie our freedom and power to choose a response. In our response lies our growth and our happiness."


Wishing you a wonderful week.
