Ok! Ok? Ok.

This is from Seth Godin's blog. You can find that blog here: sethgodin.typepad.com , if you're interested. Seth Godin is the Master of Marketing. He has written, "Purple Cow", "Tribes", "Meatball Sundae" & more. If you are a business owner or want to be a business owner, I highly recommend all/any of his books. I love marketing. I consider it an art even more than a science. If I went to college today, marketing is what I would study.

Anyway, I am pulling this from Godin's blog because even though it was written to apply to business, I believe I can apply it to my personal life as well:


Is everything okay?
Unless you work in a nuclear power plant, the answer is certainly no (and if you work there, I hope the answer is yes.)
No, everything is not okay. Not in a growing organization. Not if your company is making change happen, or dealing with customers. How could it be?
And yet, that's what so many managers focus on. How to make everything okay.
We spend so much time smoothing things out, we lose the opportunity for change, or for texture or creativity.
Instead of working so hard to make everything okay, perhaps it is more helpful to work hard at living with a world that rarely is.
