Verbs.

'Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.'

- Marcus Aurelius

Workplaces are full of nouns and adverbs.

Vision Statements. Mission Statements. Values Statements. Codes of Conduct. Policies.

Few verbs.

As a child I was taught that a verb was a 'doing word.'

We need more verbs to bring our nouns to life.

To move from the passive to the active.

To declare through our decisions: 'I am.'

And to learn from what happens next.

We need to become who we are.
