“Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.” ~Pema Chodron
It’s rarely the case that organizations utterly lack new ideas or things to try. They just get voted down most of the time.
Many of us when confronted with change are quick to find fault with moving ahead. It might not work. We could look foolish. It just makes me uncomfortable. Maybe I’ll get fired. Best to just say ‘no.’
Most of us are filled with “should’s.” I should finish that novel or start that business. I should speak up more. I should finally make that trip. I should deal with the unfinished business with my family. And on and on. But our fear keeps us stuck and ‘no’ is all too often the seemingly safe choice.
Voting ‘yes’ more often isn’t the path of least resistance and it is far from a guarantee of success. Not everyone will get it, few may have your back and others might shun you entirely.
Stay the course. Be vulnerable. Chase remarkable.
Going out on a limb is where we’re needed, where we’re called to be, where the magic happens.
And your vote counts.
