What’s most important to you in the way you live your life?

Sparky’s Frequency

"When I read about finding my frequency, I thought OK, let's go: What am I about? Right away, 'delight' entered my mind. And I thought, that's surprising. But kind of
wimpy. Not a whole lot of depth to it. I want to do more than delight. Then I thought, OK. JOLT! I want to jolt
people. Yeah, that's better. But wait....that's still not quite it: Jolt has connotations of making it all about me, and
of hurting people a little in the process…
![Page 17: Steve Farber's The Radical Edge](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062704/555d4ed0d8b42a9d3b8b47ee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
"Then...I got it: Aha! Spark! Yeah, that's it. We live such short lives in the course of the
Universe. I'm hardly more than a spark. But in the microsecond that spark exists it's all that can be noticed. So there's the ego involved, but in a humble way. And beyond that...a spark ignites things with much greater power than the spark.
But the spark is vital to ignite. Without the spark, the engine that powers the ship can't even run. It's the little tiny and incredibly temporary spark
that pushes the whole machine into action.
"So there ya go. I'm a spark!
”But I sure as hell ain't changing my name to 'Sparky'.”

What can you change about…
your activities, attitudes, priorities, and choices that will bring you more in tune with your frequency and reduce the static in your life?

“The clarity I regained led me to redefine my job and work with managers to reassign some of my responsibilities (ones that I was tired of, or had simply been henpecked into taking) to people who I knew had wanted them for quite some time. I rewrote my resume, dropping off some things that I’d done (and done well) but didn’t enjoy and didn’t want to be called
upon to do again — I guess you could say I redefined my personal brand. I walked away from some long-time relationships that were long past their expiration dates…and new friends with similar interests quickly appeared in my life
to fill those empty places…

“I decided what I wanted to be known for, and shaped my subsequent career and personal decisions
accordingly. I found volunteer work that allowed me to marry three things I like to immerse myself in — writing, technology, and animals ... The work there gave me the courage to go after a gig as a regular
columnist for a newspaper.
On my old frequency, I would have found none of these things.”

“The goal is not to speculate on
what might happen, but to imagine what
you can actually make happen….
Companies fail to create the future not
because they fail to predict it but
because they fail to imagine it.”

“Every day companies get blindsided by the future…yet the future never arrives as a surprise to everyone in the organization. Someone, somewhere, was paying attention.”
