Don’t Just Sit There! Do Nothing!
As my friend and attorney, Jill, said with a wry grin. And, it is funny. But, here’s the thing – all too often that’s exactly what we do, when faced with a problem…we do nothing. (Maybe, if we ignore it, it’ll go away.)
By now – unless you’ve been living in a cave in Tibet – you know that we will never get “back to normal.” And, yet, many seem committed to sitting there, waiting for normal to somehow magically happen again.
So, DO SOMETHING. It doesn’t have to be big, but it should be different.
From Seth Godin – 45 change ideas. #45? Do The Work. (I also like #28 – Have all meetings in a room with no chairs, and everyone wears a bathrobe over their clothes. Great way to get people to stop pontificating and out of their comfort zone.)
Personally, my new mantra is “Don’t go there.” (negative, sad, scared, defensive.) Doesn’t mean I’m hugging everyone I see, leading group sings of Kumbaya or putting daisies in gun barrels (that’s likely to get your head blown off…;-) But, if you can’t affect anything else – you can control your own ‘tude. And, that’s where any change truly begins.
