Comments on: I couldn’t resist… http://be-unreasonable.com/blog/leadership/i-couldnt-resist/ The Be Unreasonable Blog Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:47:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Jeanne http://be-unreasonable.com/blog/leadership/i-couldnt-resist/comment-page-1/#comment-28 Jeanne Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:29:46 +0000 http://be-unreasonable.com/blog/being-unreasonable/i-couldnt-resist/#comment-28 Hi...I have just received an e-mail promoting the book "Be Unreasonable" and I couldn't resist reading the excerpt, and I couldn't resist posting on this blog. The title strongly resonated within me... I have frequently been told throughout my life that what I want to do, what I plan to do, is totally unreasonable. I'm a psychologist and have been for over 25 years. But what makes much of what I do in my life "unreasonable" is that because of a congenital condition, I can physically do very little for myself. I have always been in a wheelchair but have always pushed myself to the limit both in terms of work and personal pursuits. I guess the most profound "unreasonable" experience for me was when I went to Outer Mongolia 12 years ago. I stuck to my "unreasonable" desire and went. Fortunately, I had four friends who also had elements of being "unreasonable" who came with me. I can really see how beneficial being "unreasonable" is in the business sector... but I would take the practice of being "unreasonable" into all realms of living. I encourage my clients to uncover their dreams to work out what it is they really want in their life, no matter how "unreasonable" or unattainable it may seem. Because I know, from first-hand experience, that being "unreasonable" really gets you where you want to be. Take care... and thank you.
