There are markets and in markets, segments, and in segments, tribes and in tribes, teams and in teams, there’s a sliver.
When we stop trying to be more than a sliver, life gets easier, we nestle into our place and we do better work.
Back when I tried golfing, I would take the driver and whack at the ball as hard as I could. I wanted to be great. I wanted to impress my friends. I wanted a lot out of hitting a ball.
It wasn’t until I took a deep breath, let the momentum carry the ball and settled into my place that the ball began going the distance.
Effort isn’t a great measurement and force has a role, but not a critical one.
The better kind of effort is the emotional effort. Speaking to people like you. Doing things that feel effortless. Not trying to be more than you are or try impressing all the market.
Focus on your sliver. It’s all you and we need.
Stay Positive & Silver > Gold
