Now it's passed.

So what's next?

You know, and I missed it.

I missed the whole darn thing.

You know, people very often miss the whole darn thing because all they wanted was the outcome and then it's over.

It's exactly what we're saying.

I mean, Ram Dass said it a long time ago, you know, be here now.

Because at the end of the day, that's the essence of it.

We call it the flow world, not the transaction world.

The transaction was finish the wrench, make it available on the fire truck.

That's a transaction.

But the moment was standing at the lathe and actually experiencing how a cutting tool and a piece of metal interact.

That's entering into the fullness of the moment.

So moment making turns out to be the critical task of people who want to design more meaning in their life, and particularly the kinds of meaning that can transcend not just impact making, which is wonderful, but hard and short-lived.

These moments full of potential meaningful experience abound in front of us.

So the number one skill of a meaning-making designer is moment making.

Absolutely.

And one of the little tools we've invented for that is the got to get to shift.

When you're thinking transactionally, you're in the transactional world, it's all about getting it done.

So I've got to get this thing done.
