>> A: 'We want to provide for our customers needs.'
>>
>> B: 'Why?'
Morty suggested to answer A: >to make a dfference in their lives.
B: What a difference?
A: Well, I do see how they struggle and suffer from sticking to one or the
other form of 'the truth' - I call them beliefs -, leading to all sorts of
dysfunctional patterns. Once I also struggled but one flight on a January
2nd, I tacitly applied a way to unstuck, to eliminate such a belief. It
came as such a surprise and the real changes were so overwhelming that
since then I am thinking and trying and observing and evaluating and, and,
and how to grow that precious what-ever-it-is.
B: This sounds like a great definition for the identity or purpose or
mission of your organization. You and your clients collaborate in the
joint effort to bring forth what you set out to create and grow. I wish
you an exiting journey and all the learning you may need, including
unlearning, throwing over board, those assumptions which you may discover
to restrict, to limit your further becoming. It is then, when you discover
(as you did) that you don't need anymore what you thought you'd need - be
it obstacles, guns or excessive eating. What will become of those
suppliers whose identity is based on providing for your needs? Just a
little turn around whenever a client succeeds in some unlearning? I hope
you can agree now that a mission statement need to be based on what you
want, not what others may need. Neither want nor need are the truth, but
in case of want, the choice is yours.
Even if what you want turns out to be to increase caring love.
Liebe Gruesse,
Winfried
