Enoughness 101

Well, hey, good morning, Cadre. How are you today? I hope that you are good. And even if you're not, I think that's pretty okay too. Remember that. Right? Right. Life goes like this. So if you're good, enjoy it. If you're on the way down, be where you are with what you have and honor yourself in those moments. My name is JC I am here every single darn day to go ahead and either invite you into the Cadre sphere, this space where professionals and peers web together resources and conversations and organic moments like this to show you that there's lots of ways to be.

Well, on Saturdays, we talk a lot about personal growth. Monday's professional growth, that's kind of the what we do. Saturday's personal growth, that's kind of the who we are. And I am currently sitting in the concourse connector of Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. I love sitting in the middle of walkways. So there are people walking to their gates. There's people, I hope not hopping off a red eyes this, this early or this late, but I'm sitting in the middle of. Of hundreds and hundreds of stories that are walking by.

You know, one of my favorite musicals is called Ordinary Days. Ordinary Days is a. Is a musical with four people in it. And these four people are living their. Their ordinary days. And all their stories kind of weave together at the end to show how they passed by one another. But it takes place in New York City. New York city, like circa 2000 and 2011. It references, you know, some really hard times within people's pasts and how that's changed their current state. But there's one character who talks about living in a hundred story city.

Hey, Amy. How are you, my friend? Good morning. This character talks about living in a hundred story city, and he looks out of the apartment window at the rest of the world moving by. And he talks about how he notices every day that something changes within the other buildings around him. He goes, well, that plant wasn't there yesterday. And that apartment got new curtains. And that apartment, you see a cat sitting in the window. That cat wasn't there last week. He references how it seems like everybody else's stories are happening and he's just there, that he's stuck, but it seems like everybody else is moving.

As you hear the roller bags, as you see people walk on by, I want you to invite the idea into your consideration that we are often a lot better at seeing other people's movement than we are at seeing our own. When we're on the outside looking at the limited data that we have of someone's reality. We can go, wow, they're good or they're bad. They're on the right path or the wrong path. They are improving, failing. They are succeeding or failing. We look at ourselves and we go, well, it's not that easy because there's all these little things that I'm aware of.

There's things that we wish would be going faster. We get to see all of this stuff in ourselves. So quite often we get stuck. We get stuck in our perception of how we are, of where we are, of what we're doing. My invitation, just like what happens with this character in Ordinary Days who is in the middle of a hundred story city with hundreds of thousands of stories going on, and he goes, what is mine? By the time this story plays out, he starts to see the impact of the work that he's doing and the person who he is on those people around him, which are often the best evidence that we're doing something really, really cool in this world.

So no matter where you are, no matter where you're going, no matter if you're that guy right there. Yeah. Be where you are with what you have. And remember, you are already indeed enough, y'all. Coming up later today, Saturday, you'll see Kristen from Denver, you'll see Dan from out in California coming into the live stream. But if you're ever looking or craving for a little bit of something, it's always right here. Scroll. Find a community. Go ahead and find a contributor that you've enjoyed and tap into their content.

And we will see you tomorrow. Have a good one.
