Listen.
Embrace.
Then what? Then…build.
Building is where you add your magic touch. It’s the step wherein you have the opportunity to create, to do something that hasn’t been done before. And I don’t care if you’re following a recipe to the molecular and proverbial “T;” every act of creation is unique. We have to seize the opportunities to create, particularly when we have the opportunity to create something new with someone else. If we can be powerful on our own, then our power only grows exponentially with each person we add to our story. It’s like Moore’s Law: if the value of a network increases exponentially with every node added, then every collaborative effort increases in power with every person we engage. Together, we build bridges.
Yes, we build bridges.
We build bridges between what was and what is. We build bridges over our differences. We build bridges across obstacles. We build bridges from here to there, from concept to reality, from hatred to love. We build bridges.
In my life, I have found that I am the most effective, the most fulfilled, and the most powerful when I build with others. There is a time and a place and a method for building alone. But, inevitably, what you build must come into contact with others. If not…then what’s the point? We don’t build for ourselves. We don’t build to keep secrets. Such efforts are not true acts of creation. We are gregarious by nature, and we were born into this world to share, to commune with one another. We are meant to experience existence with others. What we create must be shared. It is through sharing that we can see the true nature of what we have created. Through sharing we experience ourselves through the eyes of others.
This is why we fear the creations that come from our most intimate, deepest inner being.
This is why it is vital that we build together.
Listen first.
Then embrace.
Then…build…together.
