What got you here won’t get you there…
a known phrase in business…
also applies to life I believe.
You want to see someone wilt in front of you, become defensive, and just shut down…
criticise them.
It’s been called a lot of things,
Nagging, henpecked, micromanaging…
But what about the voice used when talking to oneself?
I was good at this one thing …
But what got me here won’t get me there…where I aim to be and where I’ve set my goal…
I must become good and go from good to great and this means growth…
I have to undertake difficult things…uncomfortable things…
——-
Everyday there’s countless distractions, grooming us on how important we are…and how much more we deserve …
We have the best economy in the world, the global 1 percent is us…30k something a year and that’s the GLOBAL 1 percent …
We’ve never had it better…
But am I aware or am I just coasting on autopilot?
Just showing up …waiting for my annual raise …
Just showing up …
Waiting for my annual vacation
Just showing up waiting on my “passive income.”
Just showing up …
Like I did in baseball
Knowing I’ll get a photo and a trophy at the end of the year …
Just show up …
Where’s the burden ?
The weight
The work …
Hard conversations …
The practice field where the sweat and the blood and the scars and the bad habits are broken and new ones formed…
Practicing basics …
so well understood …
That we don’t move or compromise on them …
This is where values are forged
This is where we don’t compromise
This is where we look at ourselves and we understand …
Life is a series of stages …
What got us here won’t get us there…
We must be growing …
What else is there?
