choice of three
Seth Godin
author. speaker. linchpin.
Seth Godin is a prominent author, blogger and speaker. [www.squidoo.com/linchpin]
In every moment of my day, it occurs to me that I have one of three choices of how I can deal with time. Those choices are:
1. “When will this be over?” This is what it sounds like when I’m hoping time will pass quickly, so I can get on to the next thing.
2. “mmmmhmmmhmmhm” This is the sound of static, of white noise, of being unaware of the moment at all.
3. “How can I use this platform?” And this is the question of our lives. This is inquiring how we can use a tiny window of opportunity to create something we’re proud of, to do work worth doing, to invest time instead of waste it.
What I’ve discovered is that the more I go with option three, the happier I am. The more I get done, the more impact I have. And, amazingly, the more I focus on option three, the less likely I am to experience the other two types of time.
Go ahead, ship. This is a once in a lifetime chance to use the leverage you’ve got, leverage that few others in history have ever received.
