If you’re given an opportunity to perform/ create/ express… to show what you’re made of… to put your spirit on full display… and you choose to give it an average effort…?
…The future consequences of that… the regret/ the fewer opportunities/ the reduced impact… is on you—not anybody else.
Remember this: we’re wired to hold back. To stay comfortable. To take the easy path. To not risk failure or embarrassment. Which is why seeing people do the opposite—in any arena—is so captivating and inspiring.
And if captivate and inspire is something you aim to do…
…You have to choose to do that. To rewire your system. To rewrite your defaults. To reject the status quo and what’s grossly accepted as the norm. To give the opportunity presented to you your greatest effort… without hesitation, self-consciousness, or egotistical concern…
…And own the fact that the future… your greatest future… is always a series of choices that can be made only by you.
