Responsibility. It’s a hard word to come to grips with. What is the responsible thing to do right now? What is my personal responsibility? What is my responsibility as a team, family, company, state, or country member? What do I expect from others?

The world now is in transition, from being controlled by a race of people with very little information or opportunities to act, to one overwhelmed by both.

You live in this world. I live in this world.

Every day I am confronted by options to make my home a home, to eat, to further the mission of Modus Cooperandi, to help my clients improve, to write, to make music, to relax, to exercise, to see more of my beautiful world, to respond to the inefficiencies or the outright injustices of the world around me.

And we ask people to “be lean” or to “continuously improve” in this soup of emotions, frustrations, desires, goals, brick walls, open doors, confusion, certainty, and overcooked eggs. People can’t act. We are trapped.
