Power of NOW - Red Hot Feedback

I organized a painting competition at one of my workplaces. The paintings of the participants had to reflect or bring about the vision or mission of the company. One of the painters brought out an artwork that was a stunning example for the "Power of NOW".

The painting was that of trapeze artists. Both the artists are NOW in the air with arms reaching out for one another. If they miss that second when they have to lock hands and change positions - it results in death.

I found it to be an excellent example of the Power of NOW. One area where i never practise the Power of NOW is in giving feedback. I keep quiet even if i do not like something. But i don't forget either. So, i sometimes give feedback even after a year or few years.

People who do not want to hear the feedback will sidetrack the situation by pointing out the delay in feedback. So the saying that "Feedback should be red hot and immediate" is to be followed. That explains the Power of NOW. You capture an arm of error with an arm of feedback NOW!!!
