When do I feel like I can really show up and do my best work?
When do I feel most generous?
Is it a particular set of circumstances?
A certain media landscape?
A particular food or activity?
A certain person or song that brings out the best in us?
If so, we have two choices if we want to get the work done consistently:
- We either live in an exact way such that these conditions exist perpetually (good luck)
- We recognise that while it may not seem like it yet, there’s in fact flexibility in the narrative.
Yes, of course environment matters.
And typically, our ability to do the work that helps us (and others) move forward is far greater and more resilient than we think.
What if we go back to the beginning of this post and expand those original circumstances to whatever we have in front of us today?
