Red Ocean
I see it as a red sea of immense beauty. The ocean is fiery read. It glows like a pit of burning fire but it is smooth and shimmery. It is not red from the leaking blood of sharks' leftovers, it is red because reflects the diversity of the sky at sunset. Diversity is beautiful when I embrace it. I love love love the diversity for the contrast for what it brings to me. The contrast clarifies what I desire by showing me what I do not want. Contrast is essential in realizing what pleases me the most. There is room for everyone in the ocean, sharks and dolphins, whales and mollusks, scum and bacteria...
The blue ocean also reflects the sky. It's the reflection of upward movement, the beauty of no limits, of spaciousness. Now that I have embraced and used the contrast the red ocean is offering, I can relax and focus on my discoveries about what I desire, on the work I would love to do and that I have passion for. I can focus on the kind of work that would better serve the purpose I choose for my life. Going further, I choose what is meaningful over what I am just good at. Rivalry is not required to excel because the best career is the one built on a win-win principle and meaningful relationships. Work ceases to look like a battle ground when you appreciate and use the contrast of diversity. Instead of fighting over a piece of pie, you and I can get together to create a bigger pie to share.
Oh how wonderful ! "Instead of fighting over a piece of pie, you and I can ....create a bigger pie to SHARE." Love that, I often say if I had a magic wand I would wave it and we would all be kind and share. Beautiful post.
