Knowing . . . (The Trap)

May 20, 2012 By weborize Leave a Comment

Austin WordCamp 2012Saturday, May 19th, 2012 WordCamp!

6:30am > ALARM > Snooze

6:40am > Snooze

6:50am > Snooze

7:00am > Alarm off > Get up (I know where I’m going and I have plenty of time . . . )

COFFEE ~ clothes ~ teeth, hair & makeup

7:30am > Head to Wordcamp

I know just where I am going – and I do – it’s just that when I get there, it turns out that WordCamp is not where I think it is . . .

<panic> WHERE IS IT? </panic>

<action> CALL ORGANIZER ~ no answer > text organizer ~ no response > check website for address:  SUCCESS! </action>

Turns out the school has a second location in South Austin.  And because I knew about the North location, as soon as I saw the name of the location, I quit paying attention . . . because I knew.

I’ve done this before – no doubt will again.  And I do get the value of the things we know in life.  Without them we’d be lost in many ways.

What has my attention now is when knowing is more of a reaction.  I’m now looking at what is possible when I’m present in these circumstances.  And where knowing limits me in my creativity, business and personal relatonships.  What IS possible when I give up knowing in a reactive way . . . I’m committed to finding out.

Inspired by Leslie Hancock, a presenter at WordCamp Austin.

Do you have a project in mind…perhaps a new product/service or a revamp of something already in existence?

Maybe you’d be interested in a review of your current site.
