Tame The Beast

We spend a considerable amount of energy trying to eliminate chaos and get things in order (tame the beast). In business, it's a priority. We have to be aware of what's going on in order to manage it. In our personal lives, we try to eliminate complexity so we can find some peace.


What happens when you succeed? What if you discover that you have tamed just about everything? You've done a terrific job removing obstacles and eliminating most annoyances. Sounds good huh? You determine your own schedule everyday. You enjoy the freedom that simplicity brings. Oh sure, the sprinkler head may need to be replaced and you may have to call the irrigation company, and that sort of thing. But really, this is getting close. You got rid of everything that does not please you. You've been working towards getting "things" just the way you want them and now - it's here. You're pretty pleased with yourself now aren't you. Sweet huh?


Now what?


Enjoy this: La dee daa... Hmmm... La dee daa...


Okay - now what?


How about some complexity, or maybe a beast to tame?


Sounds good.
