You can't improve what you're not seeing

For many years, I was doing what most of us do. Always trying to improve and do better. Always learning. Always adding.

One time, the UPS driver said I was getting more books from Amazon than the rest of the neighborhood combined. I thought that was a good sign.

It really wasn't.

Seeing reality as it truly is turned out to be more powerful than any book I'd ever read.

In 2014 while attending a workshop led by Joseph Jaworski, he shared an idea that didn't make sense but fascinated me. He said, "If we could only see reality more as it is, it would become obvious what we need to do."

I remember saying to myself, "Of course I can see reality as it truly is. How could it be otherwise?"

Then, without trying to make anything happen, something shifted. I wasn't trying to shift anything. I wasn't thinking differently. I was seeing differently.

I began to realize that perception forms before action. Before decisions. Before anything we try to improve. Most of the time, we move straight to action without ever looking at what's creating it. I now understood what Jaworski meant.

And as David Bohm said, "Thought creates the world and then says, 'I didn't do it.'"

When that becomes visible, things begin to simplify. Not because of more effort, but because what was in the way isn't there in the same way.

This is what the Odyssey is for. Not a course or a launch. A space to look at what has been organizing everything — before the decision, before the strategy, before the reaction.

The images I create and share help make the invisible more visible. We help you discover the ones that you are ready to see.

The next Odyssey cohort begins April 2. If that's the place you're ready to look, join us.

For those of you who have attended Odyssey sessions in the past, you are welcome to drop in any time. Let me know if I should keep you informed.
