Thankfully, when it comes to dumbness, it’s a temporary condition.
But it is a condition everyone must suffer as they pursue something bigger than themselves.
If the change you seek to make didn’t require smarts, it would have already been done and we wouldn’t need you.
It hasn’t, though. And we do need you.
Need you to run into situations where you’ll feel dumb, make decisions you’re unsure of, and raise your hand to ask a question you know everyone in the room knows the answer to but you.
We need you to feel dumb. Temporarily.
Stay Positive & It’s A Sign You’re Still Moving Forward
