Eclecticism: Weird and Random Blending Into True and Right

Look at fashion, note the popular decor, gaze at the arts, listen to the latest music, observe the commercial space, and taste the culinary experience that is successfully unfolding in the world today and you’ll notice one thing from those that are winning: eclecticism.

We are starting to see that as we pull from different genres and the random, typically unused space, this eclecticism is giving life a spring-like aroma, robust flavor, and symphonic sound.

It plays out like this…The technology company studies humanities. The bar learns from the church and vice versa. The dad learns from the child. And we learn from each other as we are passed to each other. In other words, you are a hint towards the greater good for me – and I to you.

In the end we agree that we are one and it’s our oneness, compiled with the eclecticism of our uniqueness, that makes it all – life, family, business – worth it.

You want meaning, purpose, and fulfillment from your life’s music?

Know that bluegrass fingers can learn a lot from a blue-jazz soul.

Mix. Match. Spezatto.

Here and there. Now and then.

Here and now is all we’ve got.

Tomorrow is but a dream.

What you do here, today, and what you do now are the primary predictors of the future.

Status, condition, experience, meaning, feeling, and fulfillment are all whimsical byproducts of our push within now.

Here > There.

Now > Then.

The easier the path…

…the greater the chances are of it leading to a dead end.

The reason we gawk at mountains is due in part to us being able to feel and hear their plea for us to climb them.

Rocky? Yes.

Windy? Yes.

Worth it? Most definitely.

Leadership

Today, there is…

…a note you’re supposed to drop in the mail.

…a hand you’re supposed to shake.

…a soul you’re supposed to encourage.

…a call you need to make.

…a sunrise you’re to appreciate.

…a sunset you’re to enjoy.

…a moon you’re to muse.

…a day you’re to make.

…a laugh you’re to laugh.

…a breath you’re to breathe.

…a life you’re to live.

Don’t pass on the role you were cast for.

For you there is no Plan B.

‘Long-Term Greedy’

Gus Levy is credited with coining the phrase ‘long-term greedy’. He chose these words for the culture he built in the 1960’s and 70’s at Goldman Sachs.

On first hearing these words we get a little uncomfortable. The word greedy rarely rings as something pure and worth pursuing.

However, this concept of long-term greed is simply another way to discuss the Law of Harvest and the Law of Cause and Effect.

Long-term greed does its homework.

Long-term greed honors the relationship.

Long-term greed saves a penny, earns a penny, and sees the penny multiplied.

Long-term greed responds and doesn’t react.

Long-term greed sees tomorrow in the moments made today.

We should all be greedy for purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

Let us not be shortsighted for such a destination…it’s going to be a long flight.
