Are you holding yourself back?
Go ahead.
Answer the question.
We can’t read your mind so your secret is safe.
You’re committed to creating the future you see in your heart. You’re doing everything you know to do in its furtherance. You silence the voices that pipe up on their soapbox. You dismiss the well-intentioned but safety-minded counsel. Yes, it’s good to exercise caution. But in the business of indenting the world, caution rarely gets it done. Of all the voices, of all the messages that exert their leverage, there is one whose volume and frequency trumps all.
You.
When all fall silent, their case plead and closed, there remains one voice that matters, finally.
Yours.
Be it liberty or oppression, you will decide. (Suppression is a kind of oppression, isn’t it?)
Yes, the tyranny of the other is to be considered.
The tyranny of the self?
This you must conquer.
Your future depends on it.
And so does ours.
P.S. We’re getting ready to release our second “book” online. It’s a compilation of our strongest logs from 2014. Suitable Conversations for Cocktail Parties and Ice Cream Socials will be free on Kindle for a limited time, this Friday through Sunday. Paperback copies will be available at a price as well. Don’t worry, we’ll send out a special notice later this week so you can get yours and share the love with those you think drink a similar Kool-Aid. Thanks in advance.
P.P.S. If clowns like us can see something like this through 2 years in a row, you certainly can go to the moon and back in a crop duster if you really want to. I think you’d look great in a pair of aviator goggles…
