We often think
yes,
no,
and maybe
are the only three responses
we can give to
or receive from
others.

That is until we realize
that there exists
a fourth way,
which is to let’s (or help me) think
together.

There are
at least two ways
of giving advice.

One,
what most do,
is tell people
what they should do.

Two,
is laying out for people
a variety of options,
asking them to add more,
discussing their consequences or influences of their outcome
on the lives of those who choose each
then let them make the final decision

To take responsibility
isn’t to take the blame
it is to take charge
of the situation
by declaring our autonomy.

There are minor details
that warrant perfection
before release
even if it doesn’t matter
to some.

Then there are major details
that does not warrant perfection
before release
because the point
is to test our fear.

Where failure itself
will be as valuable
as success.

We are often paralyzed
in front of the prospect
of doing the latter.

“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.

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

A “leader”
is merely
a label.

What matters
is whether we
lead
regardless
of the label.

Not whether we call ourselves
or others
leaders

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.

I don’t know,
so I suck.

I know,
so I rock.

I don’t know,
so I create.
