The recipe needs a chef.
The art needs an artist.
The poem needs a poet.
The blog needs a blogger.
The music needs a musician.
Want do you want?
Maybe the bigger question is, have you accepted the label/role/responsibility/obligation/duty that is required to get what you want?
Don’t wait to feel it.
First, be it.
Next, do it.
Eventually, you’ll have it.
“You like to surf? I have a friend that owns a surf shop. You guys should connect. I’ll connect you.”
“You’re looking to sell your home? I have a friend that sells real estate. Maybe you could ask her to come check out your home? Here’s her number.”
“You’ve gone gluten free? I have a friend that shares information like that with me all the time. They just sent me this guy’s web site.
We’ll always share the friendship aspect of a friend before we’ll share how a friends pays his or her light bill or hobbies their time.
Word of mouth is back and 99.9% of the time it starts with “I have a friend…..”
Be nice.
That’s what we’re typically looking for and need to know when we ask something.
Here’s the catch (literally):
We must juggle a sentence.
We have to tow a paragraph.
But we can hold a word.
Everything is pointing towards more and more of less and less.
These are not the same thing.
You get one of them by not being the other.
I’m pretty sure the true subject matter at hand here is innovation.
We are all appraisers.
We give a value to our moments.
We give a value to our day.
We give a value to our years.
We give a value to our meanings and metaphors.
We give a value to our words.
We give a value to our actions.
We give a value to our hopes and dreams.
We give a value to our relationships.
We even give a value to our values.
We do this individually.
However, probably the best thing we can do in our appraising is in asking another where and how they’ve obtained their values.
No man is an island and it takes at least two to create harmony.
