May I ask you a question, for I am interested in what you see?
Why do I want to ask for your insight?
I have been working on a series of projects over a number of years that combine my life’s work, knowledge, process, talent and experience to benefit the “greater good”. To strengthen the project outcomes, I want to strengthen the input side of the equation. A key component of my process is a continual analysis of the “why”. If the vision and project ideas are for the “greater good”, then I need to get input from the greater so I may do some good.
A key component of my philosophy is the use of engagement as a process element. This Blog’s request to the public is a key process step and engagement platform to gain knowledge, understanding and alignment.
For the reference point to be clear, I challenge each of us to step back and look at the human condition both in ourselves and people in communities we are familiar and unfamiliar across the globe. The request for your input is directed around people and what drives them to develop ideas and take action.
Why do people forge ahead and strive to survive and keep going, both in good times and especially in difficult times?
Is it a character trait or a human trait?
Is it a mindset that we, as people, adopt that gives us fortitude?
Has it changed through history?
In my initial thoughts and conversations with others, one word seems to surface. Hope.
Do you agree with this word as an answer?
What does it mean to you?
Does another word or series of words answer the question better?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts so I may continue to formulate the dialogue and solutions. Once assembled, I will unveil.
Please stay tuned.
