Very interesting discussion going on here on Tom Peter's blog about WOW projects. Enthusiasm or drudgery? Joy in work or dread? It is a choice. And believe it or not it is Your choice!
I recognize that I may not achieve WOW all the time. But those times I have WOW make it all worthwhile.
This connects with one of my favorite poems by Kabir that Robert Bly translated.
"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty.
You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house; and so you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!
Kabir will tell you the truth: go wherever you like, to Calcutta or Tibet; if you can't find where your soul is hidden, for you the world will never be real."
from "The Winged Energy of Delight" by Robert Bly
