Hesitation

Posted this elsewhere last month but thought it worth bringing home to this blog:

If you hesitate, if you blink too long, postpone too much, you become the person you swore you’d never be.

Remember that dinosaur you met when you first started working? The one who always told you stories of how it used to be? The one who longed for the return to “the good ol’ days”? The one who took really long breaks, opposed every new idea, and, frankly, often seemed a little scared of tomorrow? Blink too long, and you’ll be staring at that person in the mirror. Not because they are standing behind you like in a horror movie but because you’ve become that person. That’s now you…and that’s a different kind of horror movie.

Dinosaurs end up as fossils or fossil fuel. Or they never leave a trace at all. Don’t become a dinosaur. Age, by the way, has nothing to do with it. Believe it or not, age changes. Trust me.

Decide your own fate.
