All too often, we do something and seek consensus—a design, words, the focus of work, etc.
Yet, do we consider the probability of attaining consensus considering the abundance of existing choices and perspectives?
Each day we have choices. There are thousands of news items, and each one could influence us or not. But, even more so, which one do we choose to allow ourselves to be impacted by?
Think of what you have seen or read today. What has stuck with you?
We then have varying perspectives on a single story. So, again, our view and a choice as to what we focus on, what elements are essential to us, and the takeaway we garner from this.
And again, from our perspective manifests a new set of choices. So what do we do with this further found information and our resultant view?
When we consider the endless possibilities and discover commonalities with others, should we not sit in amazement that another human agrees with us?
Yet, all too often, we seek consensus. Is it overrated and unrealistic? Possibly we should sit in amazement that we were able to find others who made similar choices to us and share our perspectives. Perhaps driving our attention to this small group may bode for better, stronger, and more meaningful outcomes in many aspects of our lives.
