…or at your desk, there is always the possibility that things might get worse.
The greater probability though is that things will likely stay the same for some time to come and continue on, “in this petty, petty pace” as both William Shakespeare and Werner Earhard might have said.
The evening news, one’s YouTube scrolling, or maybe a person’s boss exclaims that this has happened or that has happened all of which are either good or bad when, in fact, it’s all just ‘the way it is’ standing alongside its partner ‘and the way it isn’t.’
Change meisters pitch a future based on assumptions that ‘this is not how it’s supposed to be and doesn’t fit with how the world should look,’ but then have difficulty getting one to their promised future.
Seth Godin once stated somewhere that to make things better, one has to make better things. Maybe starting from, and being OK with, a ‘this is the way it is and the way it isn’t’ position at the moment instead of a ‘this is not how it’s supposed to be and doesn’t fit with how the world should look’ attitude can help to make some of those better things possible.
It sounds/reads like a paradox but it’s a bit more Zen than paradox.
