Couples, when they come together in most marriage ceremonies, answer their Priest, Pastor, or the person marrying them, with a slew of “I do’s.” We’re becoming one in this most sacred of relationship yet our leader, if you will, addresses us as two. There is a deep why behind this process.
There is no I in team, we’ve been told. Another ancient truth we’re not as vocal around is this one – Shared responsibility is no responsibility. We don’t get better.
I do.
And, when my significant other hears me wanting to get better myself, it’s contagious. There are no equal partnerships in work and life. All relationships get better when I choose to get better; when I self assess; choose to turn my critical eye inward, and focus attention on the one person I control – myself. Human’s deeply change when it’s our own idea. Play to this in your partnerships and on your teams. Practice working on you, first. We just got better. Do you see this?
I do.
Live hard. Love harder. Much harder…
