Graham Kerr once told me that the old saying; “you are what you eat” should be revised to “you are what you digest”. It’s not so much what you stuff in your mouth as it is what your body does with it.
Same can be said of an enterprising marriage and business. It’s not so much what you’re exposed to as it is what you practice. One can usually tell what is being practiced from the littering of resources that a couple has, such as time. How much is being contributed to others. How much is spent in rest, or study.
| In this facet of the Enterprising Cycle, we look at the hubris [1] – the debris and the avarice, the joy and the sorrow. Sure we could ‘consider it all joy’, but modern life still supports the plenitude of Greek tragedies. Opera isn’t dead – it’s simply disguised as credit card debt. You may enjoy the fat woman singing, but you gotta pay for the show. All that junk in the garage? – that isn’t paid for yet? Get it? Tragic. We’ll also delve into getting feedback and reflection through vacation and time-off. These are the times for us to ‘get a grip’ as they say. |

[1] The proverb "pride goes before a fall" is thought to sum up the modern definition of hubris. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds. Consider how sports icons find themselves in jail or unfaithful."
