At 5000 ft:
We will read the news, fight the argument, review the day.
Sweat the small stuff and the short term.
At 10000 ft:
We will innovate, think of projects, learn new concepts.
Think about the next episode of life.
Plan and invest in the retirement fund.
At 30000 ft:
We will step out of the game.
Go for a retreat, ask the big questions about life.
Search for the next big thing in our lives.
Act at planetary and post-human scales.
Think eras beyond decades.
5k ft: Management. 10k ft: Improvement.
30k ft: Transformation.
Distance creates perspective.
Perspective shifts paradigms.
