When we better understand the world around us, the chance of impacting it improves.
We must first understand how things are done around here, but we don’t need to be restrained to do the same things we have always done.
Just cause a fire alarm goes off doesn’t mean there is a fire.
We are so focused on doing it the “right” way, we forget there is no right way of doing things around here.
Perhaps the better approach is embracing the “wrong” way.
No right or wrong. Just do.
What is the purpose and meaning behind all of this?
I’m not quite sure. But I do know one thing…
We keep telling the story.
We speak about disaster as in the same category as traffic jams. An inconvenience. Part of the problem today in the discourse is we don’t know how to talk about things of consequence with scale.
We think about the problems in front of us. But rarely, do we understand the problems brewing that haven’t popped their head yet. For instance, climate change was known to be a problem in the 70s. We even predicted it. But we didn’t know it was going to be an issue when we launched the industrial revolution. So, we must understand, that with every action there is a reaction.
When we are young, the opportunities to do something new are abundant. The older we get, the fewer opportunities we seek to doing something for the first time. The reason we don’t seek these things is because the stakes get higher.
So, we can figure out how to lower the stakes. Or we can go for it. As long as we understand, the price of failure.
The plan works as you imagine how the world will unfold. Of course, you can’t predict how the world will unfold. Instead of having a Plan A, B, and C, it would be better to approach the next step with the assumption that the only thing predictable is an unpredictable world. Not being over reliant on plans allows for opportunities to happen.
Sometimes it’s good to know when you are beat, to take a step back, to understand a sunk cost.
Other times, however, it’s better to take a posture that you will act on the world instead of waiting to be acted on.
