Cadre Today: The Outward Facing Clique

Well, hey there Cadre. How are you? Happy afternoon. Good afternoon. My name's jc. If we've never shared time and space together before, that may be because I'm normally on early, early in the morning, but I am overseas right now. It may not look like it because I have flowery pillows and green couches, but I'm in London for a little continuing education. Andy. Mac, Nice to see you. Smzobbs. It's good to spend time with you no matter what time of day it is. Ms. Shannon Paul is in the house. How are we doing?

It's Tuesday. Nope, it's. Yes, it's Tuesday. Wow, it is still Tuesday. Junk food junkie. Nice to see you on Tuesday. Quite often we speak about bringing people together, right? Normally I get to talk about hey, later on today, check out Betsy Hodges rules of engagement. Check out a little coffee talk with with Dr. Leslie. But now I'm going to encourage you to replay them as soon as you're done here. It is July officially, and as you've probably already heard and seen in the Cadre sphere, we're talking a lot about what it means to be free of stuff, to be a free human being in the world in which you live, to be free from the paradigms and the thoughts and things that maybe you tell yourself or that the world has told you.

To be free of who we used to be, to be free of who we're going to be tomorrow, we could go a million directions. So I hope you get to jump on in to a lot of consideration this month on how you can take up more space or how you can access the space that you've been given or how you can maybe give space to other people. Tuesdays I most often talk about the idea of the outward facing clique. What are clicks? Clicks are groups of people that they have something they love and they love sharing in it together.

So so often they face in and it's really hard to become a part of the thing they're creating. But if you ask them do you love the thing? They go, yeah, I love the thing. Do you love the people that you're with? Yeah, I love the people I'm with. Wouldn't it be great if more people could be impacted by this awesome idea, this awesome thing that brings you together and the people that brings you together with. And all of a sudden people get a little bit scared. I think part of the reason that we get anxious about letting people into the thing that we find is special is that somehow we are going to lose ourselves in it.

Or we're going to lose that special thing. You know, if you've jumped into the outward facing click with me before, you know the number one tenet of the outward facing click is the longer that you're a part of the thing, the less it is about you and the more it's about the people who are not there. And I realize that sounds kind of, but I don't want to lose this thing because it's really special to me. Let me go and expound on the idea. The longer you're a part of something, the less it's about you and the more it's about the people who are there yet.

Because for that thing to grow, for it to get louder, for it to reach further, your arms can only reach so far. Your voice can only be amplified so much. But if we have more arms and more voices, we can do more. Who needs that time energy? It's not us. It's the people who are picking up speed, the people who are accelerating, the people who are learning and growing and teaching us. So I'm in a room this week with 20 people I did not know yet. Well, 26 if you include the facilitators. 26 people including myself from 11 different countries spanning from probably 30, like 38 to 80.

And these people all have perspectives and op and and and opportunities to impact one another that others don't have. This isn't a click yet. It's made up of what I like to call people that I don't know yet. Strangers. But what's going to happen over time? We're going to find some things that bring us together. And our opportunity to survive is not on maintaining what's currently there. But I'm considering what that thing is growing through us, through others in this big beautiful, crazy a** world we live in.

I'm gonna take a moment to read some comments. Oh, London says Ms. Shannon Paul. Ms. Shannon Paul, have you ever done your comedy thing over here? You should. You'd hit it out of the. Out of the park. Says yo yo Animac Anna. Hey, I hope the commute is safe and I hope your friend is doing well. Hey, hey everybody. Junk food junkies. I prefer to say I am free of all the baggage I was carrying in the past. Isn't that nice? Junk food junkie. When you realize that your hands in the cookie jar. Because maybe there's too much tension or maybe the thing that's making your shoulder hurt is the thing that's sitting on your shoulder.

Yeah, there is something really nice about going huh? And I promise you, because I'm a perception and perspective person, I'm going to all month long be inviting you to consider perceptions and perspectives maybe contrary to the ones you currently possess. I'm going to invite you to maybe liberate yourself from the perspectives and perceptions that you carry that don't serve you. I'm going to invite you to find freedom by realizing you only live today once. All these little things are my spin. What's your spin?

No matter where you are, no matter what's going on today. Glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. Those 17 words, they are liberating, my friends. Scoop them up, carry them with you and make them your own. The 17 words that I say, right? I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know what I know and I care about you Right? Mix it up, mash it up, mess it up, make it your own. Be free, y' all. Ana says. I love hearing your insights. I always find myself thinking on them in the best ways possible.

And with my favorite emoji, the little plant. Y' all, you're doing the things. Have a good one. I'll talk to you tomorrow. From London Town. Eh? I don't think that was an English accent I tried. All I want is a room somewhere far away from the cold night air, with one enormous chair.
