The truth of the matter is that people can do so much more than they typically believe. Due to paralysis by analysis, people will shoot down new things before they’ve even started. It is then great to get the ball rolling by ‘just doing’...but in starting things, you have now hit a roadblock. Understandable, that’s normal! While people can do many things, individuals can’t do everything, and this becomes apparent if you see how teams function or how communities operate. If you’ve heard the expression: It takes a village to raise a child, wisdom is knowing that we are essentially all the child in that expression, if you really think about it. No matter how skilled you become, there are so many things that you do not know or can't contribute to, and that’s okay! There are truly great things that happen when people cometogether and put the pieces of the puzzle together. This episode explores unity!

Where have all the colors and wonder gone? I think of McDonald’s in the 80s and 90s, for example, which was a lot more colorful and we had the mascot characters and the like. When I drive around most places now, I see lots of buildings with grays and blacks and brown...a lot more buildings look flat, dull, unimaginative...and some might describe gray skies, for example, as downright dreary and depressing. Sure, there is emphasis on functional and practical with building design and what have you, but there is joy and other things associated with color! To add, it isn't just my imagination --- look into a fascinating read from Alex Murrell, that discusses what he refers to as "The Age of Average", at:

At any rate, today's episode seeks to explore the joys and wonders of color and imagination! As usual, check out my other spaces at:

I spoke on the subject of focus in episode nine, and when we are able to focus more clearly and knock down some of the barriers we face (societal, personal, so on and so forth), what can we do with newfound clarity? Take your focus and think of the things that move you and/or inspire you, and jotthem down. There are many motivations in life, both extrinsic and intrinsic, and this episode seeks to speak on what extrinsic and intrinsic motivations are, through a series of questions to the listeners! As mentioned in the show, I have some links that you can read, discussing some of the job hopping that has been going on and why, with both intrinsic and extrinsic factors being at play.
