The hurricane
I read the following from a consultant. It’s thought provoking. Let me share it with you:
“I step outside my back door and look at some large limbs lying on the ground. They are all dead. We've had the remnants of Hurricane Frances and Ivan come through here the past ten days. We've had lots of rain with manageable winds. Even so, the storms have done their work and a lot more than I have the time to see or know about at the present moment.
The hurricane - one of nature's ways of culling the trees. I remember visiting the Florida Everglades in the early 1980's and hearing from a Park Ranger who was our tour guide on a boat. He pointed out the most common trees along the water bank, a tangled mass - millions of them. "Left to their own devices, they can be their own worst enemy, he said; ‘so right now we're praying for a hurricane’.”
Meaning and Marketing - do you have or own a context of Meaning in which to do your work? Of course, you do. Why do you do your work and what are you after? Are you after "Success"? If so, what is "Success" and how do you define that?
You probably already know the answers to all these questions because they are part of your Meaning.
