Those who crave to take ownership
will fill a void,
whenever there isnt something clear
that they own.

“What just happened?”
I asked the founder,
noticing his facial muscles
and shoulders
relax.
“I just realized
I don’t have to force myself
to change
to be the kind of person
who takes
responsibility.”
he responded.
Vulnerability
If to be human
is to support
and to be supported,
we
allow one’s self
to be supported by another person
being fully human
can be hard.
If we do not know what kind of support we need
If we do not think we need support
Hope vs Judgment
Assumptions
and expectations
can arise
from a place of hope
or judgment.
If we find ourselves
judging ourselves
for having judgments
we may also choose
or learn to choose
to clarify,
accept
and appreciate
the hope we have
Labels vs Actions
A “leader”
is merely
a label.
What matters
is whether we
lead
regardless
of the label.
Not whether we call ourselves
or others
leaders
Mobility
When tension amounts
it introduces stiffness,
aches,
and knots,
which impacts
our mobility.
It isn’t
that we are merely unwilling
to change our position,
but that changing positions
is hard
due to stiffness,
aches,
and knots.
Help us relieve our tension
and we will naturally change
positions.
Aligning Intention with Impact
May we
start
with the intention
to help
others.
But before helping,
may we put down
some of the weight we’re carrying
—even if temporarily—
especially the one,
where we feel responsible
for the other’s
happiness,
to affords us the ability
to share
the other person’s weight
by supporting them
instead of taking their weight
away
from them.
After helping,
appreciate their gratitude
instead of ignoring
or trivializing them.
Know, Not Know
I don’t know,
so I suck.
I know,
so I rock.
I don’t know,
so I create.
First When and Where
“Something important happened!”
she said.
“Can I get back to you?
I’m in the middle of something.”
I answered.
“Oh, yeah.
It can wait.”
she answered.
…
“Something important happened!”
she said.
“Can I get back to you?
I’m in the middle of something.”
I answered.
“No, it’s urgent!”
she answered.
“Oh, ok.
Can you hold just a minute
I’ll excuse myself
and go to another room.”
I answered.

Re-
What is an unrealistic
expectation?
People who never
cheat
make mistakes
betray
All of the above
are part
of the human
condition.
But so is
foregiveness
