Incremental Success


Rates of growth measured in outcomes
drawn on spread sheets and punctuated with dollars and cents
Which success is measured and measurable?
Business outcomes or individual outcomes?
In a business where outcomes are viewed as either side of a line to be easily stepped over,
no one can see the tiny ripples, blips and hoops to be navigated,
narrow, undulating openings with ever changing guideposts ~
like an obstacle course for seasoning new recruits, 
sideline beckoning of drink and drug ~
temptation and forward movement wrestle for control
individual success opens up in small increments, not sudden dramatic change
Ordinary individual successes play out in families, friends and community

“Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.”
Dalai Lama XIV
