One of the things I learned as an entrepreneur is that if there is a job you don’t want to do, there is always someone who actually wants to do it. When I travel, for example, I don’t like to drive. I usually have enough on my mind about what I want to do and who I want to see that figuring out how to navigate a new city is just more than I want to think about. But ride apps have solved this problem. Regardless of what city you’re in, qualified drivers abound.
Getting from here to there is often a simple thing, but it’s a huge luxury to relax for the ride. I can take a moment to relax and be ready when I arrive for whatever I set out to do.
While I’m perfectly happy to drive at home where I know where I want to go, I’m completely grateful for the people who are willing to help me get around when I’m unfamiliar with the streets.
We all have strengths and weaknesses. Personally, my vision is a true weakness for me. So this is an example of how we have built cities and lives around our strengths. Allowing others to do what we don’t want to creates an economy where we can all use our strengths. When we lean into our strengths, we are better for it.
Every November, I dedicate 30 days to gratitude. This year I’m focusing on what we share. This is Day 11 of My Gratitude Project, and in week 2, I’m focused on the presence of strangers around us.
