Are we Still Reading?

Or do we look at a long email and go – not worth the effort? Too many pages – that’s going to be tough. The font is way too small for me to understand. When you read, you consume, you ponder, you digest, you think.  In some cases, you can’t finish it all at once so you again ponder and think. You don’t have to read everything and anything, but if it’s sent to you, you need to.

Making Waves

Little waves lap at your feet. You can kick back at them. They don’t stop you. Big waves force you to hold your own, to stagger your footing, to withstand the wave as it hits you. Kicking back, you lose your balance and fall. Now, jumping into the wave – whether it’s going over it or under it – it might not work the first time.  You might get tripped up. But it’s better than waiting for it to come to you.

When you get in Right

It clicks, everything works, and all that you have been working for falls into place. It’s an incredible feeling. And you invariably wonder – “Why did it take me so long to figure this out?” Maybe it’s your learning process. Maybe it’s because you didn’t reach out to anyone. Maybe it’s because you missed something. Whatever it was, take stock of what you missed and move on. Learn from it, don’t brood over it.
