Is learning possible without contrast?

“Elegant strategies often go with the flow, not against it.”

I read it yesterday in “This Is Strategy” by Seth Godin and made me pause.

It doesn’t mean we cannot act to improve the status quo.
It means that if we are resisting too much it’s not sustainable.

We can improve it by adding tiny little positive contributions along the way.

It can be applied to work and many layers in life.
Sometimes easier said than done.

Just be kind.

Sometimes we think that if we do more of what we are already doing we would end up where we want.

Sometimes that’s true. Consistency can get you far.

But sometimes that’s not true. We may be walking on a local optimum.

That’s when we need a creative leap.

A new way to look at the problem.

A different approach.

A new perspective.

What if the next words you will write or speak are the last ones someone will read or hear?

Content and form are one.

Breath in.
Breath out.

Calm down.

Look. Life is happening.

Calm down.

Breath out.
Breath in.
