Great teams

Today, I shared my first 90 days plan and 3-year strategy with my team.

Some wow moments for me:

  • We have so many 4th borns. 90% of the team. The coincidence is staggering.
  • One of us has a highly spiritual nature, another is atheist, and they are neighbors at work.
  • There is a tough guy whose parents hoped would be a girl at birth, so they named him Ngozi. I never would have guessed that one.
  • How kind people were with feedback during the benefits and concerns exercise.

What a day it was.

I am thankful for a great team. We will tell these stories.

Stick with what applies

There is a thought I have had for a while.

“Everything works. Not everything applies.”

What distinguishes things in our lives is not whether they work or not, it is whether they serve us or not.

If it serves us, it works and applies.

If it does not serve us, it works but does not apply.

The tragedy in life is when a human tries to stick with what works, but does not apply.

Like petulant children, we resist when what works does not apply to us.

Like joyful children, we accept when what works applies to us.

Whether it is in spirituality, health, finances, undertakings  or relationships, a search for meaning is not a search for what works, but a search for what applies.
