Yesterday’s post was one I thought was a dud. I have been terribly busy. My thoughts have been scattered. I just didn’t think it was very good. Ironically, there were numerous people who expressed their appreciation for it.
Conversely, there are times I feel like I have written a near masterpiece. Look out Bill Shakespeare, there is a new man in town. On those days, my views are down and no one even “likes” it let alone compliments it.
The truth is, we do not know which work we do is going to make a difference with people.
The old saying goes, just throw the spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. Much of our work is just that way.
Self doubt permeates all that we do. But if we never stick our neck out, we will never make a difference.
I love that the greatest batters in baseball are .350 hitters. That means that they only get on base one-third of the time. So a one-third success rate puts you among the best in the world. I can do that!
Stop worrying about how good it is and whether or not someone will like it and just put it out there.
Ecclesiastes 11:6: In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
