Sometimes you need a little elevation.
It helps you see where you’re going.
When you’re always down in it, always on the ground, it’s easy to lose track of the bigger picture.
Sure, it’s a better vantage point from which to gain a true understanding of the people you’re interacting with — your ideal customers and collaborators.
Plus, it’s the best way to stay in touch with what it is you do and how it feels to do it at this present moment, in this current market.
But you need to give yourself moments of elevation if you want to keep in touch with your why. If you want to see what’s coming next, what’s over the next rise.
Interestingly, I also mean this literally.
You see, we live in a bungalow.
And Fredericton is more of a low-sprawl than a high-rise type of place.
Fact: there is just one escalator in the entire city, lol!!
There are very few second-storey public places to be (restaurants, cafes, etc.).
Even fewer patios with any kind of vantage point.
Yes, and I just happen to be writing this whilst lounging on the best of that small bunch 🙂
I find it quite remarkable what a difference being “up” can make to your mood and perspective.
It’s a literal manifestation of a figurative need.
And it works!
