I have been working with and for several organizations over the years. And with all of them I have seen some great meetings lead to some important next steps. And so often (more often than not?) these next steps get stuck in the mud. Or quick-dry cement. Quicksand? The point is they get stuck.
Forecasts are awesome.
They are vital. They are key. They should be the backbone of all your work. Love them. Live them.
Why are they awesome?
I have recently come to a strong realization. One that hopefully will allow me and, more importantly, those with whom I work and share my life, to work better together. That realization is that hiding my biggest problem does more harm for me than good. To be blunt: it bites me in the ass.
Well my butt has enough gouges from this so I’m going to swallow my fear and clack this out:
I suffer from chronic anxiety and depression. I have pretty much my entire life.
The time for fearing how my ideas will be judged or received ended; I can’t control that whether I put them out there or not. Reaching out, trying to do more, trying to be more, giving, sharing, helping, connecting, communicating; I want to be a part of that kind of world.
The world doesn’t stop.
So neither should I.
