To ERE is human, I offer up. You see, I don't believe in being "only" human. I believe that Humanity is our highest standard and inhumanity our lowest. I believe and contend that the human spirit is capable of more than that for which we often give credit. Perfect as a noun is a myth. Perfect as a verb is our best reality, and the human spirit is capable of such reach.
To ERE
This is a special edition of Aim High. And so, I suggest a bit of a play on words here today, in the spirit of Aim High. "Everything requires everything" were words that came to me in a meditation some years back, and I am only now getting its fuller meaning for me.
As a longtime Educator who teaches Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship, I am aware that strategies are defined as "goal oriented plans and actions" where we set our sights and plan and move towards that; with everything we have.
While I am a proponent of Flexibility as Strength, our Plan A needs to be our focus. While I need to allow for contingencies on my roads to Health and Service alike, I know that "everything requires everything". And, I am reminded that the path may adapt but the destination need not; especially if we are Soulful in our Discernment. To ERE means everything I Soulfully want, requires everything I Soulfully am.
Indeed, I am reminded of words shared with me years ago... "Commitment is doing the thing you said you'd do when you felt committed, long after you no longer feel committed". It is the follow through.
The ALL IN
The follow through is facilitated when we Soulfully consider what we want and what we will bring. To ERE is human, is about the ALL IN.
In Thought Reel, I offered up a smorgasbord of posts ... and that "I am a Strength Coach, Speaker and Educator helping nobilize leadership, mobilize mission and humanize culture. I teach, coach, mentor, sing, dance, cartoon, write, vlog, box and create to advance Character, Purpose and Unity. I choose to serve Leaducators, Communitrepreneurs and Emergents. That is The Epic Engage Thing.... with The Humanity Map as my focus."
That said, I am all in on exploring such and same for Life, including getting ever better at the Stoic approach... to daily living. I am all in on these as approaches to my own Health and Service and Life forward. I am ALL IN, because I see these as fundamental to how I approach my Life, forward. Character, Purpose and Unity... including my studentry of Stoicism ... and their exploration and advancement... build a powerful foundation for anything else I pursue, construct or contribute towards. And I am going to see where that takes me.
For Life, I am ALL IN on The Humanity Map and its study, practice and advancement. I am ALL IN on how it will serve my road back to Health, and how it will serve my Work and Life moving ever forward.
How might "everything requires everything" apply for you? What might be your ALL IN that will best serve you forward?
