Human Hustle

Most of us, definitely including me, speak beyond our Circle of Competence. We extend our experience without full knowledge of the context. You don’t have to know how you did something to do it. It can be quite frightening seeing the general muppetry from “successful” people who stomp stomp stomp into other areas, once (narrow) success has inflated their Engine. What does seem to connect all of our attempts to make a living is human nonsense. Dealing with trust, interpersonal relationships, communication, and competing intentions. Another thing that connects the dots is hustle. I picked my source of income from a menu. When things didn’t go my way, I chose from a different menu. The people I admire are really good at honestly reflecting on their realistic options. Warts and all. They are good at communicating and building trust. They find out what needs doing, how to do it, and get it done. Some patience, less stomp, and more chipping away.
