"Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out."
What do you think about this statement? Words to live by, encouraging us to take risks and live our best life. But what kind of risks?
Former Harvard President James Bryant Conant, used these words in 1949, and although he worked on Chlorophyll, a very important molecule in the natural world, he was most infamously known for working on poison gases including Lewisite, which Wikipedia quotes as “useless”, adding that “ apart from deliberately injuring and killing people, it has no commercial, industrial, or scientific applications''.
The saying was also known to be “circulating amongst the scientists and administrators of the Manhattan Project which produced the first nuclear weapons” according to the website Quote Investigator. So this kind of puts things in perspective, don’t you think?
Any which way, the point here is to bring up the 2nd Part of our discussion on Values and What We Really Value. In essence, what we stand for. But today’s episode is also about how we stand for this idea and how that shows up practically in our daily life. Enjoy.
This is Reality Check, where we discuss important topics and concepts that form the foundation of our lives, and yet need to be contemplated so that perspectives may open the way to fresh new takes and hopefully help us deal with that nagging feeling of being stuck. Facts matter for sure, but equally or even more importantly, we want to put all options on the table and relate openly about what we may have missed as a result of our unescapable biases and other horse blinders. This is a place where we revisit what we thought we understood or knew, in order to spark new growth.
As usual, please note that this is not a replacement for adequate treatment, so please get in touch with someone qualified to help you if you are struggling more than you should. This includes seeing a doctor for medical attention or seeking therapy for affective and mental health challenges.
