Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Do you blame others for your situation?
Or do you blame yourself?
This is really the ultimate test to see if you are a leader or not.
Nothing else matters unless you answer correctly.
Am I the only one that thinks like this?
When I said, “Nobody is upping their game and working harder than they ever have in their entire lives“, it dawned on me that further explanation may help.
Most people are working harder than they ever have, but that’s not what I meant by working harder.
Huh?
What we are talking about here is working harder to innovate, not harder to keep our jobs. Although, intuitively, more and better innovation should actually catapult people.
It doesn’t.
And this is why no one is doing it.
Except the linchpins.
No one is focused on innovation because innovation requires change and risk.
Change and risk make you stand out. Change and risk in today’s climate can get you in trouble.
Who wants that?
Nobody. Not even the Linchpins.
“Problems are never solved by the same level of awareness that created them.” — Albert Einstein
Problems are simply nature’s way of getting our attention. Then it’s up to us to do something. We almost never do. – jungle jeff
The world is hurting. It’s the elephant in the room, isn’t it? Everywhere you look, people are scared.
There has never been a more important time, in recent memory, than now to step up and lead.
The inspired inspire.
“All Truth Passes through three stages:
First it is Ridiculed,
Second; it is violently opposed,
Third; it is accepted as being self evident.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
What is self-evident is not yet.
The “early adapters” see it, but no one else.
What the? Lizard breath?
Yes. Weird titles can be effective. Sometimes. Today’s post is about helping us understand our inherent resistance to change, even though we know change is the way.
What about providing links to other bloggers who are smarter, more successful and have way more readers than you?
What about it? Who cares, really? You may find Seth Godin more real and more something else. You may not.
And I don’t mean bullcrap phony real. We’re talkin’, “As real as the day is long” real.
Seth Godin’s thinking is brilliant. Have had a link to his blog on the right hand column for a long time. Seth Godin’s thinking inspires me, and countless others.
