Moving or Expanding? Recently someone asked, “how’s the move to Boston going?” I thought to myself, “I didn’t move here, I am simply expanding to the area.”
In our lives, there are times where we move and other times where we expand.
To move implies relocating. We are typically leaving behind places, neighborhoods, or thinking. When we move, we tend to let go of the past environment as we set up shop in a new place. Our focus gravitates towards establishing a new community within our new contextual culture and environment.
To expand implies growing. We keep our current milieu and further its reach into new places, neighborhoods, or thinking. Expansion is an exercise in building. We keep an established base, and fortify it with broader territory and resources.
There times when we should, and must, move. There are other times when we should, and must, expand.
So a question you may want to ask yourself, “are you moving or expanding?
Right now I am in expansion mode. Hello Boston!
