I stress that harmony happens in each and every moment...
And, you know when its happening because you can feel it.
Harmony begets harmony and disharmony begets disharmony.
As I look at the people I work with today, and think back to the company we were 7 years ago, there is a deeply satisfying transformation. There is a completely different level of success, exchange, respect and collaboration.
It is truly amazing to watch and consider.
I say harmony cannot be accomplished over time. It's true. You must show up in every moment and edge it the slightest distance forward, and show up the next moment and do it again.
But, over time, you do achieve something greater and bigger than you could imagine.
We so often underestimate the investment that it takes to create anything with real integrity and value. It's because it seems unreal to think of the years of effort to truly ingrain culture in an organzation.
So, yes it happens in every moment... that is where you have to affect it... but every so often step back and look at your children, at your company, at your self and consider where you have been.... and consider where you are.... and dream about where you are going....
Nothing worthwhile is achieved quickly.
PATIENCE my friend....
Greatness doesn't take time... it takes forever,. It takes a never ending commitment to each and every moment, and the realization that over time you will approach it, and you will never reach it...
And, that is what will always keep you going...
Yours in the pursuit and admiration and the celebration of harmony.
