Grow Deep Roots
This is a big day for me. The day of my first official blog post.
My intention is to post topics, thoughts, ideas and concepts that align with people, performance, company culture, leadership and business in general. Rather a large body of water
…so, let’s dive in.
Grow Deep Roots.
I woke up Monday morning, early, with this statement ringing in my ears, “Grow Deep Roots.” In fact, it also appeared in my minds eye on a mental billboard exclaiming,”Grow Deep Roots.‚” A sort of multi-media presentation. The whole experience had an etched-in-stone-sent-down-from-the-mount feel about it. Impactful enough, that I began to immediately reflect on the meaning and significance of the statement.
What came through loud and clear, for me, was this idea of full commitment. Deep roots. Living a life comprised of full commitment. Engaging in work based on full commitment. And, continuing to develop and grow in that commitment over time. Ever deeper and stronger.
The idea of growing deep roots feels really powerful to me. Especially in light of the transitory nature of so much of life and work. Change happens fast. Just keeping up with advancements in technology feels like a full time job. Communication is brisk and brief and fleeting. All around us, life is unfolding quickly.
The notion of being fully committed to the important areas of my life feels like the perfect counterweight to the busy-ness and brevity that abound. It feels real and solid and secure. And, so, I will heed that early morning message; mindful of where I commit and the depth to which I do so.
