 There's a lot of talk recently about the disruption in the world today a constantly disrupted world The other day I was in a conversation with two other people and one of them was sharing about their day and Had I'd highlighted that one of their children owns a home in Louisiana and the The storm had blown the the top off the house At the same time they're managing an aging parent and with the Delta variant moving up There was more of a lockdown situation again They were also sharing because they remembered the days of Saigon that looking at Kabul was bringing back memories of Saigon and the pain that came With that that and and with that I guess possible humiliation or disaster That's just three things three three different Disruptions or sets of bad news in the world right now Now thinking there's probably seven or eight mega disruption Patterns in the world right now and any time you get three people together they've all probably Personally been impacted by two three or four those just in the day that you're talking to them We are entering an era or we have already entered an era of near constant disruption So the question is because we can't change that how do we deal with it even better? So, how do we navigate that world? There is no doubt that there are disruptions and that there is bad news and there are things we need to do and anticipate But getting a balanced view of what's in front of you is critical all the news We consume whether it's via social media or on the TV or in the newspaper or magazines Is about the picture of the dangers and what's going wrong? In order to navigate that world it's going to be critical that we as people and we as leaders Take the time to reflect every day What are you grateful for? What inspired you today? What went well and as you capture that it would become clear and clear that there was a lot of good news and Getting that balanced view trying to navigate a disrupted world where the only thing you're seeing are the disruptions You're like a person flapping in the waves. You're in it. You're in the disruption If you take the time to get a balanced view and don't look at what's working Well, what you're grateful for what inspires you what happened today that? Felt right to me You end up being someone who can look at and address disruptions see the patterns and react or act or proactively address them Because you have a better balanced view. You're able to see the good news and the not so good news in one picture so what I'd encourage you to do as a leader or as a person is create the habit of balancing all that that that drama with Reflecting on what's working and what are you grateful for that balance will give you the grounding to be able to address Some of the challenges we all face
