Reading The Label
What helps us see?
A pair of glasses,
when things are blurry.
A magnifiying glass,
to zoom in on the details.
A mirror,
to see a reflection.
When it comes to our personal learning and growth, these are all helpful - metaphorical and practical - tools we might choose.
Then there’s the saying that we cannot read the label when we are inside the bottle?
To which then the question might become, who helps us see?
Inviting in the observations, thoughts and ideas of those we know well, work closely with, and trust deeply, helps us to see things that are obscured from our own perspective. It’s not always easy yet being curious and open to discovering opportunities for change is vital.
I’m curious, how might you find a way to ‘read the label’ that is you?
