Analogous to being an arm-chair quarterback versus an actual quarterback.
Knowing life’s best quotes and timeless sayings is irrelevant if all we have is knowledge.
Execution is key.
Period.

The truth can set us free. It can also hurt us. We must decide.
Just had a moment…
Skimming through some LinkedIn updates it occurs to me that we may be habitually dwelling on quotes and idealistic stories from great companies, as well as the latest research studies on high performing teams.
And then instead of using this to initiate healthy change in ourselves, we use it as another unhealthy brick added to the wall that holds us back for “being the change we wish to see”.
Instead, we find one more piece of evidence against our dysfunctional leadership team. One more reason to laser focus on the change that’s not happening with someone else.
Will we spend a lifetime holding back because we are afraid to go first?
And will we never notice the daily missed opportunities?

Stay, and wallow in our misery.
Leave, and prove it.

Film crew last night at Epcot. Make your own movie if you want.
Stop the madness of waiting to be picked.
Pick yourself.
Oh wait, you don’t know how to do that.
Why?
Because no one does until they figure it out. And they may never figure it out.
Why?
Because excuses and regrets make comforting conversation starters – conversations we repeatedly have with ourselves. Like a pair of well worn jeans. Comfort.
