Create Space for What Matters

I don’t have growth strategies, business ideas or culture practices for you this week.

I don’t have another opinion for you to consume.

And I don’t pretend to know the nuances of what’s happening in Israel / Gaza. 

But I do know that evil is never necessary. The pain that some are going through is nearly unimaginable. It breaks my heart to think about what’s happening and I empathize with all that are suffering.  

I do know that there are no easy answers or simple solutions. 

And I do know that in times of complexity, chaos and change we need space. 

Space in the workplace, community, home and even in yourself. Space to grieve, share, reflect and support. Space to have meaningful, constructive conversations; to see and be seen.

Space to reconnect with what matters most. 

Creating space, in and of itself, cannot solve wars, eliminate others’ pain, or purge the world of chaos. But it can connect us to a place to operate from that’s aligned with what matters most. A place that has depth, empathy and purpose to bring more light into the world. 

Let’s take the necessary actions.

Do the things.

Fight against evil and atrocities.

I’m right there with you.

Just give yourself and those around you the grace of space to connect with what matters most – and then move from there.
