I want you to ask yourself one simple question: Where are you
going?
Not how did you get here. Not where are
you at. Where are you going?
Now ask yourself another question: Is this
where you want to go?
If what you are doing is not helping you
get where you want to go then it is time to stop hiding.
You may feel locked in, you may feel
scared, you may have a family to feed and a mortgage to pay, you may feel that
you don't have the resources, time, education, money, background to try
anything different, you may feel too old, too young, not athletic enough or you
could be feeling all of the above. And you may be right. These are all things
we are afraid of but it doesn't give us a pass. These are all things we tell
ourselves but it’s not actually how it is. It is a form of hiding.
This is not about opportunities but about
obligations. We live in the richest, safest county in human history with
technology and information to give us the platform and voice to go do work that
matters.
Start wrestling with what you are doing
and how you are going to get there before we start telling ourselves it’s too
late. It's not too late. We need you.
You don't have to have all the answers you
just need to have curiosity and ambition.
Go. Make the future you want it to be.
