Picture this: 20 years from now only 3 out of every 100 people you know will be satisfied. The rest will have failed to do what they wanted with their life.  

 

Will you be one of the 3?

Are you boldly moving towards the things you want in life? Or, are you avoiding what you really want to do with your life because you are paralyzed by fear?

Our culture has ingrained in us an instinct to seek permission before we try.  To seek approval from others before we admit what we really want.  This is tragic.

We all want for someone to grab us by the hand and tell us that we are great and that “we can do it”.

 

 

But the people who make a difference with their life do not wait around to be picked.  They choose to begin in spite of the fact that no one has given them permission.  This is why they get what they want out of life.  

Living boldly and passionately like this is what makes those who don’t wait to be “picked” so attractive.  

Seth Godin said it this way:

“The opportunity of a lifetime is to pick yourself… Quit waiting for someone to say you are officially qualified and pick yourself. It means you stand up and say, I have something to say.  I know how to do something.  I’m doing it.”

Why not be a trendsetter and difference-maker? We need more of them!

 

Be one of the one’s “crazy enough to think you can change the world”, because these are the only ones who ever do.
