What Cathedral Are You Building?

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?
