Ken McLaughlin's reflection to week 2's reading: Art of Possibility

Chapter 4: Being a Contribution.

How will I be a contribution today?

Being a gift to others, and to invent oneself as a contribution to the situation.
This ‘game’ has a different set of rules then the traditional win lose game or scenario. Here when one acts like a contribution, there is a win win approach to the game, and people, where the relationship with others is seen and felt like an engagement.

Chapter 5: Leading from any Chair.

The idea of this chapter allows for a conductor to ask the musicians for feed back by placing a blank piece of paper in the music book. To see the perspectives from the different parts of the whole. Where all participants have a vital roll in creating the sound, project and event.

Chapter 6: Rule Number 6

The purpose of this chapter is to lighten up! Break away from one’s childish demands and entitlements.

Similar to chapter 4, chapter 6 extends the rational to break away from the ‘measurement world’ or how we are programmed to ‘calculating self’. This chapter explores the realm of the ‘central self’ based on pure expression. SO remember Rule Number 6… lighten up, and let one’s central self interact with whatever comes one’s way.
