Life Conversations: Your Life - Verb or Noun?

Life’s emotions are grounded in verb - Ashish

Will you take a ‘verb’ over a ‘noun?’

Verb’s are alive, dynamic, ever active and moving. Words like living, loving, changing, singing, are alive and full of movement. However, we often take these beautiful living words and turn them into nouns, that are dead. We even change them to ‘rules’ or ‘principles’. Nouns exist because there is physical reality, but if we changed everything to nouns, the world will be dead. Responsibility and Expectations! Two words that reeks of law and rules, and not life. Change them to the verb, ability to respond and expect, and the words become alive, full of possibilities. At work and in life give people the chance to respond rather than responsibility and they will show up with all their being. It will empower them, grow them, and encourage them to be the best version of them. When you change it to responsibility, you just made it into a law that has to be adhered and followed without passion. Same with the word expectation. It demands something of the other. However, the verb expectancy demands nothing and is alive and dynamic. To move from something that is only a noun to something dynamic and unpredictable, to something living and present tense, is to move from Law to Grace.
