Recently I heard an interview with Doris Kearns Goodwin discussing Obama and his spaciousness in thinking. Obama has a keen ability to stick to the big picture – leaving space for more information, points of view, sense of history and the possibility there is another way…Hence he was able to win the election with a fifty state strategy and keeping to his big message – change.
Of course, keeping to the big picture can lead to problems (hello new bailout bill of good and bad) – so along with ever-expansive thinking, there needs to be the balance of making final decisions and taking action.
Look at your own life – where are you struggling? Do you need to expand your thinking to a new way of doing things or do you need to make a choice? Remember – there are no bad choices, because you learn and grow from ALL your choices. As you already know, some of the best lessons are discovered when you make the ‘wrong’ choice.
