Heat Wave
As many of us shoveled snow during the winter months in the northern part of the U.S. we yearned for warm weather. Now, that much of America is in the midst of what could be a record breaking heat wave – we are complaining, sweating, grumpy and just plain blah feeling.Why is that?
By nature people gravitate toward the negative. Rather than accept that something works, many people try and shoot holes in it. Its as though they do not want to see something succeed.
Instead of accepting a change in life, the way something works or in operating procedures – people will resist.
Rather than rejoice with a “news sharer” they will add their 2 cents worth of negativity and caution….even if it is on a subject they know nothing about.
Why is that?
Well, resting in your comfort zone is much easier that actively implementing a change. Killing an idea is much easier than learning about it and how to put it in to practice.
How do you handle the heat? Or better put, how do you handle a hot idea?
I suggest ONLY share it with a trusted friend or someone who will help put those wheels in motion. Only share it with your inner circle of implementers who can make a positive impact on that dream becoming a reality.
Once the idea, concept, dream, whatever is ready for launch you can share it.
Then sit back and watch as nay sayers become “I told you soers”.
Look outside your home or office. It’s hot out there. Most people are complaining about the heat. Only a few people – when smacked in the face with that heat saw it as an opportunity to invent a fan, to invent an air conditioner. Just a few saw that heat wave as a chance to launch their idea. Only some saw it as a opportunity to make a difference.
We could switch the situation from heat wave to the economy, to joblessness, to a shift in America’s paradigm of what is. They saw it as a chance. They saw it as a gateway. They saw it as an open window of opportunity.
Back during the depression Frank Lloyd Wright built a million dollar home for the Kaufman family. The Kaufman’s were the retail store Kaufman’s. While people were struggling, while they were moping around, while they were eeking out an existence - Frank Lloyd Wright was working on a project for the Kaufman’s that would become famous – Falling Water.
So, how will you handle the heat wave?
Have a great week
