Not getting what you want? Pull back.
I learned this gem at a Rosh Hashanah dinner from a Wall St physics whiz who told me this was true of every brilliant person he'd every worked with: from theatre directors to theoretical physicists.
Implicit in this is trust. We try to force things or people when we act like our will is always what brings the results we want. If we are mature enough to pull back, we trust nothing bad will happen without More. Now.

I #BlameDrewsCancer that this amazing Co-Pilot idea didn't happen sooner
I love Drew. He is living, all heart, out in public with cancer. He went as social with it as you can and now he is much bigger than cancer. In fact his cancer is going away!
At the bottom of this post he mentions starting a chemo co-pilot idea. I think this is brilliant and might work for a lot more than chemo. Ongoing pairing and encouragement can help so many people out of and through so many situations...from cancer to women funding their start-ups. I envision the scaling of these close ongoing bonds between people as one of the most transformative things the Web can do.

Social ninjas: Join me tonight for the first Tummel live video show.
Heather Gold, Deb Schultz and Kevin Marks talk tummeling: the art of energetically bringing things together: tech, culture, business and people.
Watch and join us on http://twit.tv Tues Sept 22nd at 7pm PST/10pm EST
How this started:
Kevin was at the microphone at the Supernova conference a year or two ago addressing <a href="http://shirky.com">Clay Shirky</a> who had presented his now classic book Here Comes Everybody. Kevin was insistent that there was often more to people randomly connecting and just showing up at places together. There must be people and methods which who played a serious role in making this thing happen. How do you deliberately create what is called community or a meaningful connection? Deb Schultz and I were there and so happy to meet a fellow traveller. We'd spent a lot time connecting businesses and people. We knew a lot in our own ways about how to deliberately create ways and spaces for meaningful connection. We all embraced the word tummeling. Kevin is a technologist, Deb creates business connections and I perform and create useful conversations. We are all sure that business and technology were created by and for people.
