Is it at the back of your mind? When you’re selling a book? Playing on stage? Speaking in front of 15 or 1,500 people? Or just finishing your menial tasks faster than the rest?
Too often I have seen people judge their work by whether they get an encore.
What about the regular applause? Is that not good enough?
No. It’s not.
Because no one makes themselves vulnerable for applause, they make themselves vulnerable because they want to do it again. And since sooner is better, the best is when they get an encore.
Stay Positive & Truly, Every Moment Is Your Encore
