Will you die?
Because we (read: I) love to create stories about why we (I) shouldn’t ship something into the world.
“It’s a dumb idea.”
“My boss won’t like it.”
“No-one cares what you have to say.”
“I’ve run out of ideas”
All of these stories are rooted in fear of the unknown and an overblown reality of what we think the stakes are. The reality is that the stakes are often very low. Speaking up in a meeting, starting that new project or posting another blog aren’t matters of life and death.
So what if we started treating them as such?
It’s a big reason this weekly blog still exists. Each Sunday I like to remind myself that I can share an idea (even a half baked one like this) and not die. Phew.
