Stay curious, preferably with a camera in hand.
Hook
Credit doesn’t come with a hook. But, accountability does.
What are we willing to be responsible for? And, how might we help someone by letting them off the hook?
The part needs to fit if the system is going to work. The important choice then is whether to play the part.
Perhaps it’s better to design our own.
Edge
Almost all of the play is in the middle because this is where it’s the safest. We can fit in, do the regular thing and probably be just fine. But for some of us, the crazy ones, the ones seeking to make a dent, just fine is a problem. So, we move towards an edge, a place we can call our own. We do things differently, so differently it makes most people uncomfortable. And, it’s this discomfort we call home.
Guarantees have no place on the edge. Uncertainty abounds. It’s what the edge demands. And, it’s what keep most people away.
Looking for somewhere less crowded? Don’t settle for the middle…find your edge and own it.
Mess
What if we choose to see it differently? Is there beauty in there somewhere?
When is a mess not a mess?
Pages
None of us are sure how many pages of life we have remaining. But, what we do know is each one counts and can make a difference if we choose to make something of it.
How does your book read? More importantly, what’s the important work you have left to do?
Context
It’s challenging to understand what something is for without knowing the framework and context of the story. And, it’s entirely possible it’s not meant for us at all.
Seeing isn’t always enough. There’s more work to be done.
Power
What’s it going to take to convince someone, especially when their facts are wrong?
Push or pull, open or closed, consideration or tell? What’s our posture?
Empathy and enrollment take longer. But, everyone is better off in the end.
