Have You Surrendered to Your Own Mediocrity? When You Do, You'll Succeed.
I know.
It's not what you expected me to say.
And put another way.......:
Here's the GOOD news: You're so very special.
Here's the BAD news: You're not very special at all.
In 100 years, maybe a few will remember your name.
In 200 years, likely not a soul.
You are simply NOT that important.
I know it sorta sucks.
But it ALSO lowers the stakes.
Breathe into THAT. Just for a moment.
**************
As a result of this little truth bomb......
I've concluded that as AWESOME as I am, it's critical to accept my own MEDIOCRITY and INSIGNIFICANCE.
How does this encourage me to be BRAVE?
Because it prevents me from doing stuff that's primarily motivated by external reactions and APPROVAL and APPLAUSE.
and....instead...... JUST DO IT FOR MYSELF.
I cannot guarantee my OWN greatness.
I cannot guarantee YOUR own greatness.
But I can guarantee that.....
Anything you do will be YOURS....and YOURS ALONE.
And when people see THAT kind of confidence, they get CURIOUS.
***************
Putting it off just keeps you SAFE....
and what you create will be UNLKE ANYTHING ELSE in the history of the world.
If THAT'S enough for you, it's time to move forward.
With your book, your team, your brand or your homemade banana cake,.....
I'm in the business of transformation.
Isn't it f***ing time?
