So what’s the good news here?
It’s not all on you.
Crowds.
1). Become cheaper.
2). Become more human.
There’s no vulnerability in a race to the bottom. Which is why most choose #1.
Yet vulnerability is the dirt where possibility grows and blooms into stories that get shared, get talked about, and connect us.
It all starts in the eyes.
What you see is what you will feel.
What you see is what will be whispered in your chest.
What you see will determine your response.
What you see will predict your actions.
Half full > Half empty.
In a presentation not long ago, I posed the question, “How does your garden grow?” This was a metaphorical question posed to engage the audience into truly questioning the root – no pun intended – of what it takes to grow and produce the meaning and purpose we all want out of our lives, relationships, and businesses.
The session concluded with a simple thought….the gardener must garden.
The Gardener’s Garden sparked some more thoughts here.
