As I am still processing and fully understanding my journey through Kenya I wanted to speak with a friend I made on safari.
Bob Snyder is a world class business man and an incredible person. I had the opportunity to ride in Bob's safari vehicle while we travelled and viewed the great migration. As we spent more and more time together I realized that I had accidentally found myself in the right place, at the right time to meet someone like no other.
Today we spoke about the experiences and ideas we found ourselves thinking about as we went on this journey. The crosses in our own lives with the actions of animals. The decision process of lions and the indecision of wildebeest. The grace of cheetah vs. the power of a cape buffalo. As humans we tend to overcomplicate things, rather than viewing it from an outside perspective.
One thing that kept popping up for us is MOVE! Movement is the key to everything. If you move you will always have something happen. If you pick your feet up and take even a single step you will change the world. You will cause an impression on the ground. Although it may be small, a little indent in the earth, you have created physical proof that you are here! That you were alive! If you stand in one place however, you will never be able to show the world that you were here. That you understood that your time on this earth is finite and rather than choose to dwell on that fact, you chose to live!
Bob brought to me so many ideas that showed me new windows into different perceptions of life. Although we adventured together we did not have the same journey. Each of us walked away with different ideas different concepts, of what we had experienced. However by building a connection on our adventure, we had the opportunity to connect. To not only connect our dots in reverse but each others dots in reverse. To see the thing they saw and begin to interpret each others interpretations.
This is the power of communication. This is the power of the human mind that we refuse to utilize on such a regular basis. To build upon each other. To rise to new heights through the power of the person standing next to you, in spirit or in person. We need to release this self absorbed era of dependent thought that leads to independent results. Instead we need to begin to pull one another up to new and greater opportunities by creating independent thoughts that will lead to interdependent results.
I want to send a huge thank you to Bob Snyder for joining me on todays episode. It was an absolute treat to speak with you and I can't wait for our next adventure together.
