Our protagonist crosses a threshold and the huge implications of the step he’s just taken is almost paralysing.
What now?
How he responds, the what now?, is the only thing he can control.
He can’t allow himself to be half-hearted or be distracted. There’s something so important in what he’s wanting to do, enabling others be generative and regenerative people.
Peter Senge points to how Human enterprise is beginning to reflect nature once more. Each of us has something to bring, to offer – part of a powerful whole of bringing creativity, generosity, and enjoyment into the lives of others:*
‘[N]ature loves variety, and variety is making a comeback, as evident in an explosion of diverse and influential new forms of enterprise, many of which are easy to overlook given the understandable focus on big business.’**
Keep going. He moves away from the threshold he’s crossed. There’s no going back. Only forward:
‘Accept who you are, don’t be afraid of being the person your decisions have made you into.’^
