Thanks for the link connecting me to your post. I have been talking with people recently about needing to be clear about ‘who’ and ‘what’ before worrying so much about ‘where’. You capture that with more clarity than I’ve been finding.

well said.

Jazz

Love how your mind works.and what you had to say reminds me that social media or these new modes of thinking and sharing actually enable us to live the more considered life that socrates and others contend make life worth living. Many of the tools and environments that we’ve all been playing with recently are, in the end, better ways for is to think, learn, and experience life together, in strange new configurations that transcend work, play, geography and social organization

@ric “in the end it’s not about what strokes us, it’s about what fulfills us, what makes us fit for purpose”

sums it up nicely

Jazz, my new colleague, this is why those of us who have chosen this path less traveled, continue to run our traps, check our sites, glean our crops. Thanks for corroboration that collaboration is the message, not the medium that we seek. I am now stoked to complete my next entry into The Green Hills of Earth about a new ‘old’ colleague I didn’t know I had, Mo-Tzu, philosopher from the 4th century bce. :o)

That is so well written and well put. I think you should write the foreword to my book when I get around to starting it!

@Ric, and to think that all of this started out of the blue with Jazz coming up to me and do an informal conversation. Look where it got us! Loving it! Still savouring the aftertaste of such a lovely blog post. Something that keeps reminding me of why I hang out with the folks I hang out and why I share and collaborate with others with a specific purpose

And no matter where we all are

(Hope others would be able to see it soon…)

What an inspiring post Jazz. I couldn’t agree more that purpose goes way beyond career aspirations and is key to being innovative and fulfilled.

I’m off to scrawl my own purpose statement at the front of a new notebook, new leaf, new chapter…
