Units

FabrizioLeave a comment

The problem with looking at a small unit to discuss the larger one is that the tone of the discussion is going to be very different depending on the small unit you look at.

Can a great day make the entire month invariably great? And can a poor one make it invariably poor?

Can a bad week make the entire quarter invariably bad? And can a good one make it invariably good?

Can a disappointing month make the entire year invariably disappointing? And can an exciting one make it invariably exciting?

You should your effort into controlling the broader unit instead – that’s made of narrative, of strategy, of purpose. And use that to try and explain the smaller units.

This is what will give you course and momentum.

You are not

You are not what you do when you have the money. When you are relaxed, you have bandwidth, you hear people cheering for you. You are not what you do when you are on top, at your best, well-dressed. You are not what you do when you have all the options and no stake in the outcome.

You are you especially when there’s no choice. That’s where your true you is.

Those moments are precious.

It’s us

We want a job to seek stability, and then we want to leave that job to seek freedom.

We pursue relationships to seek companionships, and then we want to leave those relationships behind because we feel like we lost ourselves.

We follow a passion to seek fulfilment, and then we want to abandon that passion to catch up with all the achievements we had stopped pursuing.

It’s not them. It’s not the job, the relationships, the passion.

It’s us.

Out of the crisis

As a person in a position of power (a parent, a manager, a politician) your role in a moment of crisis is to inspire tranquillity.

That’s how others around you can continue to think clearly and help everyone out of the crisis.

It starts with you

Nobody is going to knock at your door and choose you.

Not because you are unworthy, simply because we are all busy, we are all self-absorbed, we are all overwhelmed.

Everything that is good starts with you. It will have to start with you.
