Top Thoughts for June 8, 2023
IWhat DEAS shares has the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage:
John Daly on the importance of repetition:
“There is a beautiful story of a man who loved a woman who lived far away from him so much that every day, for 500 days, he sent her a love letter. On the 500th day, she married the postman. Exposure works. Up to a point, it improves the decision maker’s feelings about an idea.

By James to pay attention:
“I think attention means listening with our eyes and our ears, thinking with our brains, understanding with our hearts, and giving with our souls. Intentional attention means identifying the people, priorities, and passions that are most important in our lives and then deliberately and actively focusing our conscious attention on them.
“Mindful attention is stopping what we’re doing on the computer to give our full attention to a team member who comes into our office to talk.
“Intentional attention is organizing your attention toward a particular purpose. It’s saying no to some things so you can say yes to important things that deserve your time and focus.”
