Are you doing the same old things that you know how to do, that you know won’t fail, that you know won’t make you look bad, over and over again? It can be so daunting to step out and be unreasonable - to venture into an unknown project with all your stories about ‘looking good, and not looking bad’ hovering over your shoulder. It’s so much easier to just keep taking on the safe games in life, walking the middle line where everyone else tends towards, and keeping out of the way of being criticised or laughed at.
If you’re going to take on big games in life, sometimes people will laugh. They will jest about you, ridicule you and say you can’t do it. Don’t hang around these people - they aren’t worth your time. Others, those that matter, will support you, be optimistic even when you aren’t, hope the best for you and appreciate you for who you are and the unique contribution you want to make to the world. Hang around these people.
If you want to expand and know yourself to be bigger than you’ve ever known yourself to be, you have to take on big games in life! Big games that require everything you know - and more, big games that you don’t know how to do yet, and big games, that if you did, would knock your own socks off at how flipping amazing you are!
If you think you’re so busy you can’t possibly take on another project. Take another on, and watch yourself expand to fulfill on it and be someone you never knew yourself to be - an even more enormous human being capable of achieving even more enormous goals. Just one more project - I dare you!
