Uncertainty and Possibility

The Future We’re Making in the Present

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Highlights

The world is increasingly filled with people who want to make a difference and see that this is a huge opportunity, individually and for society. I think the story is changing from one of competition to one of collaboration, from one of impossibility to one of possibility.

I have learned that we cannot guarantee success, because it’s out of our control. We have to give up this thought that we can control everything. I have also learned that just because it’s not a guarantee doesn’t mean that don’t we give it our absolute all while we’re here.

We’re in the midst of changing the stories, they have changed profoundly and in ways that are incredibly exciting, and we need to change them a lot more … bigger, deeper, faster is where we need to go.
