Asking ourselves this question quite a number of times yields better outcomes—especially in the work we do.
This reminds me of a friend who never stops at good when you can give the best. And “best” keeps changing so the work for making things better never stops.
And earlier in my class (which I told you about), I also heard the same question: “Can it be better?” This time, it was more about challenging the status quo.
Because status quo doesn’t always mean that it’s better. It could have been better for a period (or maybe not at all). And because things keep changing, then the status quo has to be challenged from time to time, especially when the norms in place do more harm than good.
Can it be better?
Do you hear the call?
It calls us to participate in “making things better by making better things,” as Seth Godin would put it.
