Ephphatha

Ephphatha is Aramaic and whose meaning is  “Be opened”

This word was recently used in a religious context and immediately resonated with me on several levels.  I am almost a tortured soul as it relates to opening my mind to see the world (my business in particular) from all possible vantage points.  Knowing that our future depends on escaping the grips of our own comfort zones and instead depends much more on pointing our ship towards those waters that could very well (at times) be uncomfortable. Yes, I will work diligently this coming week (after a relaxing Labor Day weekend) on being “open” to those people/places/things that can be transformational.  I imagine that such behavior will involve (require) more listening on my part than the requisite CEO talk and pontificating.

I wonder if I will “hear” what I need to hear?

Ephphatha!
