Just prior to a video conference with a colleague, I realized I didn’t have a link to his Zoom room where we had planned to meet.

We sorted it out quickly enough, but his revelation stuck with me: “I created the invitation. I just forgot to send it out.”

It prompted some deeper thinking for me. How often are we open to an experience, or willing to assist, or ready to act ... yet we don’t send out the invite?

A generous mindset is part of the equation. Taking action is critical too.

But our presence of mind to communicate — to share a clear message of, “I’m ready. How can I help?” — that’s often the key part that puts things in motion.

Create a beautiful, generous invitation ... just don’t forget to send it out.
