Welcome…
This blog is for people who have a “multifaceted mindset” (mine) or as Barbara Sher calls them in her book “Refuse to Choose“,”Scanners.” These are people who through no fault of their own, are genetically wired to pursue multiple interest. As a matter of fact, if you are not pursuing multiple interest or changing interest frequently, you tend to take root and become a stick. Not a tree, a stick. If you are not constantly acquiring or learning new information, you can’t bloom. People with a multifaceted mindset are often mislabeled as unfocused or indecisive. That fact of the matter is we just process information much more rapidly than others, our focus is very intense when we are in the process of creating a new facet.
I chose the term “multifaceted mindset” because the people with this gift are much like jewels. With each facet we are able to capture more of the light and in return our brilliance grows. Now we can only create new facets and increase in brilliance when we are being shaped in a way that is the most beneficial and unique for each jewel. In other words you will shine, when you do what you are meant to be doing; what you were created to be.
This site is to let you know that you are not alone and that there is nothing wrong with you. You are unique today in this world of “specialist,” your brilliance is not contained or limited by what society defines as normal. Let me leave you today with a little bit about my multifaceted mindset. These are in no particular order.
I am or have been: Husband, father, artist (pencil and charcoal, watercolors, acrylics) photographer, songwriter, written two children’s stories (anyone know any willing publishers?) chef, restaurateur, cooking instructor, specialty caterer, singer, guitar player, piano player, music teacher, tile and flooring installer, tiling instructor, blogger, youth pastor, speaker, conducted workshops on worship music in today’s church, certified s.c.u.b.a. diver, swimming instructor, competitive swimmer, triathlete, marathon runner, missions team leader to Africa, semi-professional magician (not primary source of income), studio singer, beer maker and journeyman. This list is in no way complete and constantly changing but that’s okay.
Thats all for now, please feel free to comment me and enjoy some of the links to the side.
Until next time, be well. Uberscanner
