The Why


Endurance and Resilience are necessary foundations for long-term Creativity. In Business terms, this is analogous to Solvency (a strong Balance Sheet), Liquidity (the required Cash Flows as and when they are needed) and Profitability (an Income Statement that is creating rather than destroying wealth). In Philosophical terms, this is analogous to Existence, Consciousness, and Purpose. You have to develop the strength to be able to survive for a long enough period of time to make a significant contribution. You have to develop the capacity to adapt and adjust to the complexity, ambiguity, and randomness that life throws at us. To survive the obstacles, the ups, and the downs. At the heart of it all is the why. What are you creating? What are you learning? For who? Why? To answer the why, to Create, you need the space to breathe, and the time to build, created by investing in Endurance and Resilience.

Complex, Ambiguous, and Random
