This morning, I had a realization while sitting with my singing bowls. I finally found the right tool to make this big glass bowl sing after years of no success, and that reminded me of being a different thinker. Sometimes we are left to struggle with the ‘standard’ tools for years, and then one day we find something that works for us, and boom, everything clicks.
What was a tool that came into your life and instantly clicked with your different thinking?

Being a different thinker and an unconventional leader sometimes can be challenging to explain, so I have this great little analogy that I realized this morning. This, if you don’t know, is- I know it as a singing bowl. This is a glass singing bowl. I bought it let’s say seven, eight years ago, and it’s never, I’ve never really got it to sing, and so it just, it sits, and every once in a while I go and I listen to it and then I’ll try and grab the sound wave, but it just, I can never quite get it to pick up. So, it has a little vibration, but I know it’s supposed to be louder and do more, so this morning when I was messing around with my singing bowls, and just doing my morning regroup, I decided to grab a different item from one of my other ones and see if that made a difference, and as you can hear, it made a really big difference and I thought about that as it connects to different thinkers and unconventional leaders.
some- often, systems in society and ‘normal’ have handed us these tools, and we’re trying to use them, but we just well, we just kind of clink. We make noise, we fit in, we’re okay, but we don’t sing, and when we get the right tools, and when the right things lock in with our brain, and our type of thinking, all of a sudden you make beautiful sounds, and we make amazing- haha… [Singing bowl sings.]
It’s pretty incredible how that works, so this is a reminder. Your brain is beautiful if you are a different thinker. If you are an unconventional leader, how your style your brain is beautiful, not everybody is maybe gonna understand that all the time, and make sure that you are seeking out the right tools. You might be using the wrong tool, with a lot of skill, and you get the right tool, and that skill can become an amazing and loud sound.
