An obstacle to effective communication is the expectation of changing the other’s viewpoint to be in accord with one’s own by war, intimidation, ‘re-education’, legalisation, idealistic proselytisation, indoctrination, propaganda, or ‘tolerance’ via ‘reprogramming’…..

…..Only through wisdom, acceptance, and compassion can understanding come about that brings forbearance and makes realistic allowances for widely disparate worldviews and values.

“What makes life worth living? No child asks itself that question. To children life is self-evident. Life goes without saying: whether it is good or bad makes no difference. This is because children don’t see the world, don’t observe the world, don’t contemplate the world, but are so deeply immersed in the world that they don’t distinguish between it and their own selves.”

– Karl Ove Knausgard

Creating 10X or 100X results in your life and business may initially sound ridiculous, but it is fundamental to applying Who Not How. You need bigger goals. You need a bigger vision. 

The only way to make your present better is by making your future bigger. Going 10X bigger in your vision, whether that be income or revenue or some other metric, forces you to get Whos involved, because the task at hand literally becomes impossible to do on your own.

Rumi once told the story of a thirsty fish in search of water. The fish swam tirelessly in every direction, desperately seeking relief from its unquenchable thirst. It leaped out of the water, seeking water above the surface, but to no avail.

Finally, the fish grew weary and exhausted, and in its fatigue, it paused for a moment. In that moment of stillness, it realized it had been swimming in the very water it sought all along.

Rumi concluded, “In our quest for truth and meaning, we often forget that the answers we seek are within us, like water to a fish. We frantically search everywhere, when all we need to do is remember the essence of our being. Look inward, and you will find the wisdom, love, and purpose you seek.”

This story teaches us the importance of introspection and remembering that the answers to life’s questions are often found within ourselves.
