A Dip, or A Dead End

I read in a Seth post recently:

"If you want a hot shower, you'll need to turn on the hot water a bit before you step inside. It can take a while for the hot water to rise up and clear the cold water from the pipes.  

The thing is, though, that if you mistakenly turn the cold water tap instead, it'll never get hot. No matter how long you wait.  

Sometimes, it takes us too long to realize that we shouldn't wait any longer and might consider checking if we turned on the wrong tap.  

The art of making a difference begins with thinking hard about when it's time to move"

                                    

And then some thoughts from a book of his called 'Dip'...in fact just from seeing the book cover :)

As a society we've been conditioned to glorify 'acceptance', 'tolerance', 'compromise'. But pause to think...are all these always productive. Where and How much are they contributing to keeping us inside of a Dip. A Dip that's plateauing and we can no longer can even see the Dip. 

It's about recognizing it.....Seeing what we want to do there, what can we do there. And to also know there are not just dips....but cliffs and dead ends too.

Articulation and Effort.....and as is said, in an 80:20 ratio. 

Considering the effort seems by far the easiest, what say we step back and look. Even if nothing needs change, you'll be that much happier where you are........and if it does, it's an absolute joy ride :)
