To a point we can learn the skills of doing more with less. To a point we are able to develop our capacities and efficiencies. [This applies equally to individuals and organisations, big and small]
But only to a point.
After we have reached that point, and life, relationships and work continue on their inevitable path of escalating complexity, everything begins to hurt just that much more.
And that escalates, exponentially.
This leaves us pushing back at everything we perceive to be not directly relevant, overwhelmed and frustrated or compelled to dismiss or ignore large chunks or areas of [our] life.
And that hurts all the more.
What is required is 'the next level'. The next level of thinking and understanding. It's a new operating system complete with vocabulary, logic, patterns of behaviour and systems.
And right there lies the problem.
The new level thinks in a new way, has a new more coherent identity, speaks and does differently, cherishes different values, builds different systems and gets different results.
There is a time for learning how to do more with less and there's an opportune time for an operating system upgrade. And of the two the level change is more subtle and traumatic, that is until you've intentionally done it a few times.
If you're done with building capacities and feel every inch you gain costs more in energy, it may just be that ...
you're due for an operating system upgrade
