I was meeting with a CEO that I have great respect and admiration for this week, and he was talking about a software product that they developed...
They are working on updating their code, as all software companies need to do, and he said to me...
As a company,
we don't MIGRATE our clents.
When you migrate - you simply move from one place to another.
It didn't work so well for the Native Americans.
When you migrate - you lose part of your crew.
You work really hard to simply keep doing what you've always done.
At our company, if there is a need to migrate, we want to TRANSFORM our clients instead.
MIGRATE vs TRANSFORM
As my mind so often does, it was off to the races.
LOVED the concept.
How often do we MIGRATE?
From one job to the next...
From one project to the next...
From one relationship to the next...
From one day to the next...
From one moment to the next...
HARMONY is the process of continuous transformation.
While it may seem overwhelming to attempt to transform from every moment to the next, BELIEVE that it IS possible to transform from one moment to the next.
It doesn't mean you will, or you have to... but more importantly - that you CAN.
Certainly from one day to the next... can we transform some small behavior... pushing it iteratively in the direction of our WANT? YES!
Ultimately, at the heart of the concept of harmony, and success and harmony is attempting to make DELIBERATE, MICRO-IMPROVEMENTS, MICRO-TRANSFORMATIONS in every moment towards the person, the professional that you want to be...
You won't succeed in every moment... but you CAN ;-)
And, it is the deliberate attempt to do so, that will transform you deliberately over time.
A growth mindset is a continually transforming mindset.
A fixed mindset is a continually migrating one.
So simple.
So true.
If you want to achieve success and happiness... TRANSFORM, don't MIGRATE!
Think about it.
Where in your life, your work, your relationships, your self development... your health... are you migrating where you could be transforming?
Love
the emotion...
the discipline...
the possibility...
the reality...
of TRANSFORMATION...
And, either you live it in every moment, or you may at random and at times stumble upon it.
TRANSFORM
with HARMONY!
