No matter how popular, how well loved, how good looking, or how smart you think someone is, internally they are going through that mental pull like the rest of us.We don’t think about that however.
We are more focused on us, and the problems we face. They may have it hard but I have it tougher.
It is a learned behavior, one we pick up through years of looking out for number one. It is also a behavior that limits the potential of any potential artist or business person.
Observation is king.
There was a Linchpin meetup ( Required Reading: Linchpin by Seth Godin).
Take Chances.
It seemed there was nothing in common with most of those there.
By the end of the night many business cards were shared from people who seemed to care about what they were doing. They were people, working for businesses both big and small who took chances, made (and are still making) mistakes, and at the end of it all listeners who tried to take in the surroundings of those around them and make the best of it.
The ability to create and manipulate change first starts from a chance to be welcomed into spheres of influence. Observing and learning from all walks of life is the way to enhance your perception. We become great through deciphering the perception of other peoples mirrors.
I have been invited to collaborate on many different projects through this meetup. Who knows where they may lead, but the foundation to create and condition change is there. It is the foundation that makes the world just as observant as you can be.
