What is my best chance to make a difference in this lifetime?

Richard Strozzi-Heckler (author of The Leadership Dojo) often tells a story in his work about three stonecutters who are working side by side.  They are all doing the same work.  Each is asked the same question: “What are you doing?”  The first replies, “I am cutting a stone.”  The second replies, “I am building a wall.”  The third replies, “I am building a cathedral.”

The individual ‘stones’ we carve and carry on a daily basis, our challenges and our opportunities, can be much lighter when we have the energy of a broader vision that has great meaning to us.

What cathedral are you building?  What can you do to help yourself connect to your largest vision?

Sometimes when we have a key decision to make, we can get stuck in place, analyzing the decision, and miss the opportunity to go exploring our way towards an answer. 

Travelling in the wilderness, its common for a group of beginners to spend a long time trying to figure out where they are, when in fact moving a bit further forward, around the next point on the lake or up over the next knoll on the hill, will reveal what is needed. 

What additional action can you take to help you explore your decision?
