ANXIETY, LEVERAGE IN WAITING

Tuesday Jan. 29, 2019

Anxiety.

Everywhere. Common as dirt.

Managing balance, like whiteout mogul-skiing, knowing those bumps are there – blindly bouncing (knees become jelly) without seeing, just feeling – committed to task, getting where you’re going no matter what. Every sense heightened …

We ski through, over and we learn whenever the world sends messages we can’t, we know we can.

We do, we must. Easily we could let down our guard, find ourselves way back, flattened and broken.

Anxiety lifts us off the mat when flat, gets us over our hurdles and sends us soaring, this driving force is volcanic – deep within. Label it resilience or persistence – it’s leverage.

Driven from neutral to high gear, from doldrums to high achievement, from middle of road to middle of the action, anxiety is leverage to use or lose. So use it …

Reader feedback:

DEFINING WORK v. WASTE TIME v. TIME USED THOROUGHLY

I see you as a leader by example.  And thank you for all of the seeds that you have planted, like a Johnny Appleseed of the mind, DM, Ladysmith, BC
