Our imaginations are both our most powerful tool, and our greatest enemy. We can imagine change. Very specific change. We aren't capable of the level of complexity required to imagine what that would actually be like, and how we would actually get there. We struggle enough with understanding now. Our bluntest motivational tool is imagining where we want to be, that isn't here. What we want to have, that isn't here. I believe it starts here. Massively reducing our ambitions. Accepting where we are, then taking really small achievable steps, every day. Park the rage. Park the spinning ambition. Use your senses to really understand your small corner of the world, and be connected to those around you. Breathe. Ask. Listen. Give. Celebrate the average. Celebrate the things you have. Chip away at the obvious obstacles. No one else understands what is going on either. We are all trying to make sense and meaning of it all.
Work on the problems you can solve
