The big picture makes it all make sense

We go through life so quickly we find it difficult to see life’s bigger picture

One day at a time. We become organized, or disorganized, one day at a time.

Life’s struggles and successes are directly proportional to our mastery of personal organization.

We know this.

Ferocious mix?

Ferocious mix?

 

People talk about Steve Jobs’ speech revealing the very first iPhone, and Martin Luther King’s I Have A Dream speech.

People talk about an ordinary person, their overwhelming obstacles, and their opportunity to push through to triumph – for the good of others.

What’s implied in either case, but not called out, in a word, is, ‘permission’.

. . . . .

It’s only a matter of time until someone comes along and destroys the notion that balance is a myth and hence, unattainable.

Truth be told, we know exactly who this person will be. And it’s someone who uses the same speech mechanics as other game changers and misfits.

Truth be told, we all have something big inside of us too.

If we are waiting for permission, and have been, it’s time to stop.

Read this book, and go.

No thanks needed, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead, it’s part of the ‘in the giving, we receive’.

Label the stranger an egotistical jerk who should just worry about himself?

The woman in the jungle jeff post seemed to feel like she was thinking about things she normally doesn’t (and maybe hasn’t in forever) think about.

How do I know? This is what I do. Read the audience. Whether it’s a CEO during a site visit, or an audience of 500 or more.

It seemed uncomfortable for her. Early 40’s, hates her job, no compelling reason to be remarkable tomorrow or in any of the days, months, years ahead.

She has two choices. Be incredibly thankful a total stranger helped her think these thoughts, or label the stranger an egotistical jerk who should just worry about himself.
