Their work connected people worldwide in a way that few cultural forces before them had and few have since.Īnd it probably felt just as exciting to see them live as it did to go to a Taylor Swift show. They made movies, transformed hairstyles, clothing and attitudes about generational shift. Over time, the Beatles sold more than a billion dollars in albums. It might be important to the people there precisely because it isn’t. If you were one of the half a million people at Woodstock, or the 7,000 who saw the Dead play in Binghamton, that moment belongs to you and the people there. The size of the swirl doesn’t have to change the way it makes us feel if we’re in the middle of it. An episode of the much-talked-about TV show Succession was seen by about 3,000,000 people when it aired, compared to an episode of Gilligan’s Island or the Monkees, which reached fifteen times as many people in the US with each episode.Īnd the US, of course, is about 5% of the world. Most of these moments are actually tiny pockets. That’s part of the magic of a cultural swirl–it’s our friends, our work, our world. When we’re in the middle of a cultural swirl, it’s normal to believe that everyone else is too. ![]() Extinguish one and another will replace it.

This is why emotional enrollment is the key to learning. We can often feel like an impostor and one way to find peace of mind is to fortify the foundation of what we believe got us here.Īlas, it’s almost impossible to pick up something when your hand is in a tight fist. Our position feels so fragile, we hold on very tightly.Ĭompetence, status and connection are fleeting yet hard-won. It’s getting them to stop using a bad one. I’m told that the hardest part of being a teaching golf pro isn’t helping adult golfers develop a good swing. Perhaps it makes sense to outline the sort of process you’d like to fill your days with instead of being drawn to the product that caught your eye in the first place. Often, we use the product we make as a reason to tolerate the process we don’t enjoy. But once the company has more than one person in it, most of our day is about satisfying the customer, meeting supplier requirements and dancing with the tension of doing our jobs. It’s easy to be excited about what the company seems to do… to choose our path based on the public’s perception of the output. I haven’t seen any data that says that working in accounting for a candy company is more fun or more satisfying than working in accounting for an insurance company.Īnd even circus clowns get bored at work. We get the drama of what might happen next and the delight of actually pulling it off. There’s stress and human interaction, learning and physical exertion. What do we get in exchange for our work?
