AHA!
Bridge to New Possibilities

Book Cover & Preview Text
You may have read “Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” or “Everything I Need to Know I Learned from the Golden Books.” But I would propose that everything I need to know I learned along the way. In our very first days we learn the value of a smile. We learn how to laugh. No better lesson will produce so much good in our lives and in the world. It is the first way that we make a difference.
Knowing that a smile makes a difference does nothing unless you actually smile. So the question becomes how we get from knowledge to action. I propose we do this with a plan. I call these mini-plans “mental models”. They remind us to use the wonderful things we have learned along the way like looking both ways before you cross the street. There are so many streets you will cross in your life. Wouldn’t it be nice if some of the things we choose to do just sort of came naturally?
The suggestions in this book are about models I have made from discoveries along the way. I offer them as possibilities to emulate and as ideas for building your own “mental models”. Enjoy!

About the Book
We all have Aha experiences where a great idea or breakthrough suddenly comes to us. What makes a difference is what we do with these Aha experiences. Do you write them down? Do you share them with others? I recommend using them to build “mental models” that will act as building blocks to how you approach similar situations in the future, how you remember them and use them to build a better tomorrow, to open yourself to new possibilities.
