Be proactive here.
This post is much more active than usual.
What is your next move? Take it as a prompt to stop, whatever you are doing, and think about what’s next.
Take advantage of this moment to respond and not react.
If you want to, feel free to tell me (adam@theadamthomas.com) or Instagram it (@thehonorableat).
What is the choice you are going to make?
Fail or flow.
It is your decision.
Every moment is a decision.
You are an innovator.
If you weren’t, you wouldn’t read this. You would skip over this and head over to a top ten listicle that gave you tactics that kind of work.
No, you’re in this innovation thing a little deeper than the surface, and that’s why you are critical in the fight to keep innovation alive.
Whenever you get a chance, urge someone to “keep shooting,” or to lead. In this game, each one teaches one, and every bit of support helps.
Remember when you felt alone, and someone helped?
Take today to pay it forward.
I know that most of us grew up in a school system where our every movement depended on a clock and a buzz. I also know that we are in a world with fragmented attention from a ding, buzz, or noise from our phone or computer.
We look for the next dopamine hit.
Hey, a reminder: sometimes there is no clock.
Make no mistake; we have to ship. That doesn’t mean we have to rush.
Take a moment to think it through.
That extra time gives you the ability to think of context.
Most of the time, no clock. Stop forcing yourself to act like there is.
