I’m wondering…what is it about the value of something that we seem to need to know?
One of the things I do is curate ideas. But, at some point, something isn’t working in my activity related to that (or, at least, there is a question in mind about it). At times, I can feel a lurking question; what is the value of it—either the curation itself or whatever it is that I am curating?
I’ve noticed…that I am often inspired by those who can articulate the value of what they are doing. Because, for me, the ability to articulate that value is often what is so compelling to others about the ideas that are driving the good activity that often results.
A while ago, I watched the movie, The Antidote, where what people are doing in communities to help others was, in my estimation, powerfully described in terms of the purpose and reason for doing what they’re doing. The recent movie Soul pulled on a similar thread for me (at the very least, it appears I'm not alone regarding my value question!).
I find myself wishing I had more of an ability to describe, or even create, the value of what I do. I'm typically not very self-promoting, but that isn't really the core of what's involved here.
So, I'm wondering what this can look like for me now going forward...I feel the need to know.
