De-risking

For generations, civilization had no choice but to swim in risk. It would injure and kill and also propel. Scientific discoveries, full throat-ed capitalism; it was and is a part of a DNA. What do you lose when you spend most of your time eliminating risk? To over analyze each decision is to swim breathlessly to the shores of safety, wherever that is. When you spend all of your time de-risking, you attempt to control the uncontrollable future, rather than riding it. You stymie your own inner compass; you retard growth embedded in your very DNA. Instead of de-risking decision making, one would do better by just closing their eyes and taking steps forward. And then another. And then another.

Manifestation

How do wolves sense prey from miles and miles away? How do birds know where to fly when the weather cools? There is an undercurrent of knowledge that sits below consciousness. We grant it a mystical quality because it’s not immediately available to us. It sits latent, in equilibrium. It’s sand through our fingers but sand nevertheless. When we manifest something, we suspect it’s something like a witch’s brew, but really it’s been there all along. We strip, instead of add. We focus and eliminate doubt, freeing it to surface. It’s quite impossible to accurately describe or predict, but tell me you doubt it’s there. You don’t. You somehow know. Feeling is enough.

The Future

We await things that are to come. Vacations. Wealth. Time off. Love. Freedom. We push them out into some far away land, just at the tip of mind’s horizon. We willingly sacrifice the present and overlay it with a mirage of the future. We take what we believe are guaranteed steps towards a not quite inevitable, but probable, place in time a little beyond now. We scream when life shows us how little control we have. Every lesson from the dying is the same: you only have now.

People have met face to face for thousands of years. It’s why our minds can detect small changes in someone’s expression to denote a feeling or predict action. Recently, we’ve convinced ourselves that face to face interaction can be supplemented or even replaced by video calls. We quickly and correctly began to realize how much more difficult it was to “read” someone across a computer screen. If we want to make an impression, have an impact, close a deal, have a difficult conversation, make a change, best to defer to what we’ve always done. Meet. In vibrant reality.

Leading Questions

How much different would conversations be if, instead of asking “what do you do?”, you asked “who are you?”

“What do you do” forces someone to describe themselves in the way they make money. It’s almost certainly not illustrative of the person who works in the job.

“Who are you?” clarifies. The person who answers must think. They must peel back layers to try and describe themselves.

One of these questions most often asks someone to put on a mask. The other mandates they remove it.

The unconscious

It’s often referred to, and one often thinks of it as some place deep, deep underwater. In my experience, it seems to be much closer-just right below the water line. Light can permeate into it, but it requires some work. Once you get there, and once you access it, and once you learn from it, come back up. The world above water will be quite different than before you went down.
