What You See Is All There Is.

This is the only way to understand this … see this … do this.

There’s nothing more we can discover here.

You are what you are and you’d better get used to it.

It isn’t broken …

Nothing’s going to change …

It’s the way of the world.

I don’t want to know.

I have nothing you could possibly want.

I’m just looking forward to my retirement.

Things are changing and you’re invited to the party.

We’re all leaders of something.  There’s something you do, or know, or make that can be taken further and can put an end to WYSIATI: ‘Do you believe in what you do?  Every day?  It turns out that belief happens to be a brilliant strategy.’*

Daniel Kahneman warns us that WYSIATI takes away the important edge of competition,** and, when combined with our preponderance to substitute an easier question for the one being asked, leads to the above-average effect – we think we’re doing better than we are, that our lives are better than average.

We are in a new time of challenging these assumptions, to open our minds and hearts and wills in a plethora of movements and initiatives.  We can all be a part of this.  Interested?

(**Dave Logan, John King, and Halee Fischer-Wright’s Tribal Leadership tells of how competition is something we can join in and benefit from together, rather than being against other people, instead taking on the huge challenges facing our planet with all its species.  The three authors track tribes whose mantras include “Life sucks.” “My life sucks,” “I’m great,” “We’re great,” to “Life is great.”)
