Candles & Swords

We have two choices with our words.

They can be candles or they can be swords?

Sure things need to be poked, prodded, cut, challenged, and defended. And when this is done well, we can only hope that the holes left from the prodding and poking will let more light in.

Outtakes…

  • Sharp things in the dark is rarely, if ever, a good thing.
  • Just because ‘word’ is in ‘sword’ doesn’t mean that’s how we should use them.
  • If people perish with no vision, then we must first light the wick of our moments and our future with our words.
  • Where there is no sword, there’s most likely an abundance of possibility that squelches the potential of fear.

We > Me

This thought has sat heavy on me recently.

I thought on it as I walked into my office today.

We > Me.

I thought on this as I had a long drive this week with just my wife and I.

We > Me.

And as I created new inside jokes with my girls this weekend, I had a misty-eyed moment….

We > Me.

We all want to be part of something great that is becoming something greater.

Parker J. Palmer once wrote, “We are exploring together. We are cultivating a garden together, backs to the sun. The question is a hoe in our hands and we are digging beneath the hard and crusty surface to the rich humus of our lives.” 

The best part of this thought isn’t the exploration, the cultivating, the questions, or even the rich humus.

It’s the we…..

The market has spoken

and it’s easy to miss what it’s saying.

Two ears, two eyes, and one mouth is a great place of realization to start with your marketing plan.

Once you understand the the 4:1 ratio you came equipped with, you may then have a better chance of seeing, hearing, and receiving the memo.

Deep and Wide

Wide is quite easy to achieve today.

With the right amount of social creatine, your reach can be awfully wide, but it may feel like this.

And then there’s the significant relevance that goes deep.

The kind that involves time, the art of being human, and the hard – and not always rewarded – work of leadership. Also, known as relevance that lasts, touches, inspires, and is shared.

Wherever you and or your business is heading, in the end, it will be about the meaning in the marrow, the conscience of what is core, and in gathering the notes of what you value that they may center in harmony.

I’m I Did > I wish I had…..this is all about going deep over going wide.

Just ask the trees.

The Word for That…

‘I understand’…the word for that is camaraderie.

The breath in our lungs..the word for that is grace.

The electricity of uncertainty…the word for that is possibility.

Something from no-thing…the word for that is art.

Then there is the word that becomes a sentence that becomes a song…the word for that is you.
