Influence

Sometimes we have to encounter moments that remind us why we do what we do.  Occasionally, we stumble across a memory, place, or event.  Other times the moment is created.  Return to the summer camp of your youth and recognize the campfire songs and traditions. Immediately, you reclaim a formative experience.

How often do we query why people lack engagement with us?  Why do only a few maintain the energy and passion of their first involvement?  Perhaps we realize that our interactions are limited to a few unremarkable places at set intervals.  What if we put them back on the ski trail and encouraged them to make another joyous run?  What if more of our engagements started with anticipation and excitement? What if we thought of ourselves as storytellers who customize remarkable moments?
