The journey of a thousand miles must begin with the first step." - Lao Tzu
I've been reading this book, and I am starting to realize that the next Project Lab, which begins on September 15th, is going to make use of the power of small: small questions, small thoughts, small actions. This kaizen approach is about making things happen in tiny ways, incrementally, sort of letting them creep into your life, without any panic or fight and flight syndrome. Instead of our project results ending up like New Year's Resolutions, which start with a flourish and soon end with a whimper, we can instead create some space and breathing room and then with a whisper invite in our dreams, take some baby steps towards our future, slowly, safely, steadily, serenely.
The next Project Lab promises to be a gentle one. And big: big, as in "small is big".
