I just made a great discovery! I was minding my own business…just cruising along the CyberHighway…and my mate yelled at me, “If I’m going to cook this great dinner…get your CyberButt over here and peel the garlic!” Wha???
The tone in her voice was ominous and foreboding, like the storm blowing in from the Mediterranean. I’d better take a break!
So…here I am…knife and fingernails at work peeling garlic…several bulbs…we love garlic. This is a brain-dead task. Rather be surfing CyberSpace…perhaps another brain-dead activity… There must be more to life than peeling garlic and surfing the Net… Boring…
There must be an upside to my miserable sentence…
As I peeled away at the garlic, I began to peel away at some of my shortcomings…oh yeah…lots of ’em. I began to feel the reason I’m doing this onerous task is I love my mate. I was being given the opportunity to express my love. I began to perceive each little clove of garlic I peeled exposed a little bit of love I could send out to my mate. And the kids. And others…friends and strangers…
This feels good…Or is it the garlic getting to me…
Business Application — All too often we go through the “smart” mechanics of marketing in a brain-dead do-it-by-rote-adnauseum state. What would happen if every time I write an article I put a little love-energy into it? Every time I write an ad, I put a little love-energy into it? Every time I send out my mailing list, I put a little love-energy into it…. Hmmmmmm………
