Scientists have … found that to achieve a state of flow, a task must be roughly 4 percent beyond our current ability.*
James Clear

Whether it’s splitting the [bill], getting a project done or making an impact on the culture or a cause, if you want things to get better, the only way is to be prepared to do more than your fair share.**
Seth Godin

We don’t need the conference speaker to ask us
to raise our hands as high as we can
in an experiment,
Only to ask us then to raise them
higher –
We all know that we hold back.

What if, instead of working out ways of holding back,
We experimented with ways of bringing 4% more effort
in a smarter way –
Just 4% out of our comfort zones?

We’d be zooming.^

Let us begin to learn how to bless each other. Whenever you give a blessing, a blessing returns to enfold you.^^

^‘According to Godin, success requires companies to stifle the “anti-change reflex” and start “zooming” – a term he uses for embracing change and mining “memes,” or ideas operating as the business equivalent of genes.’
