Principles to get to emergence

Tenneson Woolf, one of the Art of Hosting Stewards, has some interesting content in his blog. I am particular fascinated by these simple principles, which will lead us to emergence. They were shared by Debbie Frieze, co-director of Berkana.

· Start anywhere, follow it everywhere. (Courtesy of Myron Kellner-Rogers.)
· The leaders we need are already here. (Meg Wheatley)
· We have what we need.
· We make our path by walking it.
· We walk at the pace of the slowest. (Zapatistas)
· We are learning how to live the future now. (We are creating the worlds we want today.)
· We listen, even to the whispers.

 

Do you have similar or other principles which might guide us?

 - When it is over, it is over !

and

 - The law of two feet - if you at any point are not able to learn or contribute something where you are - use your feet to go where you will learn and contribute.

 

and one principle that I like very much is,

 don't take yourself so serious!  Wink
