Stretchers find beauty and richness in places where others struggle to see anything of value. Too often, we understand, interact with, and use things at face value, locking ourselves into conventions that limit possibilities. By adopting a stretching mind-set, we can reach extraordinary potential with what we already have. It’s a matter of recognizing the untapped value in our resources and directing our energy to nurturing and developing what’s in hand. Once we make this shift in mind-set, it’s possible to start building some of the skills of stretching—something we’re now ready to start.
