“Man was made for conflict, not rest. In action is his power: not in his goals but in his transitions man is great.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I read this quote in the Arthurs C Brooks book, and it resonated. What with the work with clients on setting their goals, objectives or OKR’s for the year.
This quote suggests that human strength lies not in achieving goals but in the process of overcoming challenges and transitions, emphasizing the inherent nature of humanity to thrive in conflict and action rather than in a state of rest.
How are you going to face your business challenges head on, enjoy the journey. You will be stronger and more satisfied for it.
