If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. -Albert Einstein
I’ve been thinking about this a lot. The message of the work is simple. Yet we go on and on about small little details. The message of lifestyle medicine is: You can fix most things yourself.
Yet we can talk about all the little details in such a way that people don’t hear what we are saying. There is a flip-side to that, as well. Sometimes people can’t hear what we are saying. Did you know that when researchers think an experiment will turn out a certain way, they have trouble seeing results that are contradictory? In other words, sometimes we can’t hear what is being said.
Here’s an example. I’ve been described as “always talking about Lifestyle.” (Guilty!) Just this week, someone emailed me a link to a video of someone else explaining what I have been saying for years. For some reason, it landed with them more than what I had said. So the work continues…
Here at Candid we have chosen to focus on relationships first. For two reasons, deep positive relationships are the most powerful path to longevity and purpose. And through relationships, we can help people transform their life to one of purpose.
See what is happening here? Already it sounds more complicated than it is.
Reclaim. Embody. Lead.
That’s the Candid Way.
See you soon,
-Dr. Joe
