A Hindu priest and a philosopher descend their asses and go to a bar …

At least I would like to imagine that the story begins.

In any case, the two had a dispute over the way to enlightenment, in which the philosopher …

The ass you assemble and with which you get to a house is not the remedy with which you enter the house. You have to descend.

His point was that you could use a “concept” to get somewhere, but have to descend to get beyond.

In the shop it is often said that what they are today does not necessarily get to them where they lead where they want to go.

I find that incredibly true when I work with companies that are scaled.

That is why I love the visual that provides this story of the mistake and almost impossible to ride a donkey into a house that brings down and dates to the absolutely reasonable, even banal act of the donkey.

When I speak to business owners who want to make their infrastructure more scalable, this is often seen as a great effort that leads to a transformation and growth of step functions.

You think it will be difficult because the attempt to do it yourself has forced a ass through a door. (I mean, have you ever tried it?)

And while the results of the infrastructure structure are often monumental, the path to growth is not as complex and difficult as we might imagine.

Too often we create these stories in our head, which make it difficult to let go of our past and fear that the “what if” before us.

But what if we did not ignore the things that didn’t work or refuse to let go of the things in which we poured out our blood sweat and our tears, we simply descended our donkey and thanked them that they brought us so far?

This is part of what I will be grateful for this week. All things – good and bad, beautiful and messy, difficult and fascinating – that brought me to where I am today.

Ready for these next steps.

Because if the philosopher insists that we have to get out of our asses to step into the house of God, who should I argue?
