Carry it forward

How many of us took to drawing when we were 3 years old? Probably most if not all of us, but how many of us draw today, may be a handful. How many of us could sing a rhyme or two when we were 3 years old? Probably most of us, how many of us sing a rhyme today, may be a handful? why the difference, what happened on the way? Where did we lose it?

It’s one thing to start something and a whole another ball game to keep moving it forward.It requires courage, courage to stand up when others laugh at your dinky little drawing, your own creation. Courage to keep moving forward with your squeaky little voice when the world avoids your music like fire alarm. Courage to “Ignore Everybody” (read the book by Hugh MacLeod)

For the most part we can safefly ignore our “Lizard Brain” (Linchpin, book by Seth Godin), it is there to warn us from jumping of a cliff or to hug a killer grizzly bear. It’s not that useful in most of what we do today, ignore the lizard brain, keep going where you want to go.
