The Big Fail

Throughout my career, I've seen many, many businesses suffer from isolation. Their marketing and sales efforts miss the mark. Their employee morale is either unrealistically high or it's suffocating. They are often not much fun to do business with.

The same can be said of people. And, well, me.

My steadfast determination to see things only through my self-serving perspective has alienated co-workers, friends, and even family. Raised in a "lay-down-the-law" household, it never occurred to me to take in others' perspectives.

I've been meditating and thinking about my prison and ceiling that i've created for myself. It is directly related to imagining only what I want for myself, versus building a vision based on as many perspectives as realistically possible.
