Quiet

Loneliness can happen in a crowd, during a full blown gathering! People can be totally invisible in a group, some have perfected being invisible. I am totally comfortable either way. Sometimes I feel it is necessary to approach the invisible people. Let them know that they are valued, even if they don’t want to be seen or heard. A back ground is a good place to be, you can watch the process and determine the shortcomings or holes developing in a project. It does not mean less, it can mean smart! When things become stuck, it is the observers that can offer solutions without removing the limelight from attention seekers.

Know your place, when developing a plan for a group, the leaders tend to rise to the surface. This could be their natural state. It can be different from project to project, sometimes you just know this was made for you! You fall naturally into place. I don’t like picking parts, I like them evolving and choosing you. It feels more natural to just fit where a natural deficit lies. Leaders also notice when all the parts are not functioning. The position then is to help that part of the machine work. Not point out the flaws, not shame them, but to assist and guide, true leaders help not hinder.

Society should function like this too. People in power, would serve better to talk less and listen more. To fill in the deficits, instinctively knowing the best approach. Sometimes willing to be just an observer. Offering parts as they naturally surface. You don’t point out failure, you nurture all people involved. The only thing left is the accountability, admitting mistakes and honestly correcting them! Risk and achievement go hand in hand, there will always be the possibility of failure! Some people can just automatically step in and out seamlessly no effort required! It is the passion behind it that fuels the behaviour and creates an efficient system.
