“Don't wait. The time will never be just right.” Napoleon Hill
Recently, I was reading some blog posts on Seth Godin’s site that got me thinking not only about the genius of finding original solutions for everyday problems but also about the bravery it takes to make the leap into the creative process and pursue your dreams.
Seth is one of my favorite authors and his most recent book is Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? What makes Linchpin an important book is that it addresses a trend that we must embrace; to rise above mediocrity, do the necessary emotional work, and carve a path that distinguishes us from the dispensable masses or pay the price of becoming just another cog in the workplace wheel.
Seth’s book tackles the lizard brain that constantly interferes with our inner desire to change. It is that petulant, whiny voice in our heads that dismisses everything and prefers to settle for less. We must push past the lizard and take the leap to find our creative genius even in the face of fear. Is there something that you are passionate about but scared to do? This is a call to action to trust your instincts and take the leap.
