I will start with an example & 

then provide a definition that is used as a skill.

 

We’ll start by thinking of the color green.

Did you think the same as I? There’s lime, sea, kelly & others.

Mine? Apple green.

 

A DEFINITION is: a road-map or blueprint that allows us to function in a healthy, effective & productive manner. Definitions allow us to talk about the same thing at the same time. Otherwise we journey heading in different directions or have a mess of a building completed in both modern and colonial clashing styles.

 

THE SKILL? Define everything.

Child didn't clean their room the way you wanted?

Did you define "clean room"?

Going to have a successful day? Define success.

For some it’s  completing a report that’s due,

for another it’s a haircut, for the 3rd it’s time spent with family.

 

Get the definition from a dictionary or make it up.

Share it with people you’re working with so you're on the same path.

 

It may not be a traditional definition that society uses.

It may be a contradiction to the status quo.

​

It may also be a confirmation of something you feel deep inside -

the ability to express yourself.

Interesting huh?

 

Again I’m at my floor & stepping off.

I’ll step back on next Thursday.
