One of my favorite gems from the Buddha is this wisdom: “Little by little one becomes evil, as a water pot is filled with water. Little by little one becomes good, as a water pot is filled with water.”
The optimal way to Optimize?
Drop by drop by drop.
+1. +1. +1.
Back in the day, I used to get all fired up and want to change EVERYTHING once and for all (!!!) and RIGHT NOW!! (Technically, I wanted it yesterday but you get the idea. 😃)
You ever have that feeling? You go to a weekend workshop (or read a book or whatever) and you’re like, “It’s on. I’m snapping my fingers and changing it all. Check me out!!”
Then a week later you wonder what happened.
Rather than patiently add another +1 drop to my Optimizing pot, I used to turn on the fire hydrant and send the pot flying around the room. (Nearly breaking it in the process.)
Not good.
Now?
Now I love those little drops.
You?
Let’s Optimize how we’re filling up our water pots.
Little by little. Drop by drop.
+1. +1. +1.
