Being realistic backs you into a corner you can’t do remarkable work from or engage with others in a meaningful way.
Many use realism as a way to hide from big ideas, from things that might not work.
Realistically speaking, we could always be more realistic. We could hide more, undersell the idea further and cut things entirely.
The alternative is to bring bigger, bolder ideas that carry an energy of determination, optimism and passion.
Better to err on the side of more than less, because you might just get it and encourage others to bring the same mentality forward.
When we opt for less –for what’s “realistic”– we might just get that, too.
Stay Positive & Better To Stretch Than Be Sorry
