The Art Of Possibility

The Art Of Possibility on the practice of enrollment:

The practice of enrollment is about giving yourself as a possibility to others and being ready, in turn, to catch their spark. It is about playing together as partners in a field of light. And the steps to the practice are:

1. Imagine that people are an invitation for enrollment

2. Stand ready to participate, willing to be moved and inspired

3. Offer that which lights you up

4. Have no doubt that others are eager to catch the spark.

It can seem like permanent, implacable barrier that presents us with limited choices: to attack, to manipulate our way around it, or to bow to it in defeat.

Yet, we were to take a "no" less personally, and ourselves less seriously, we might hear something else. We might hear someone saying, "I don't see any new possibility here, so I think I'll stick with my usual way of doing things". We might here withing the word "no" an invitation for enrollment.
