Good Morning,
This concept comes in a couple of approaches:
- Put out a sign saying "Wet Paint - Do Not Touch" and then sit back and watch how many touch it.
- Tell a motivated individual that something is impossible and, again, watch him/her make it happen maybe even saying "I told you so." when he/she succeeds.
I think it is human nature to say "Yes I can. Just watch me." Our creator designed us with a belief in our own talents and abilities.
The problem is that we are taught from early childhood: "Don't do this. You can't do this. You don't have the education to do this. No one in your family has ever done this."
We need to strive to overcome this mindset and endeavor to not pass it on to our children or our employees. Yes, society needs rules just like driving on the correct side of the road and stopping for red lights.
Each of us is capable of great things. Sometimes, it just takes someone to tell us otherwise. Our appropriate answer should be "Obviously you don't know me. Just watch me!" and then, make it happen.
Have a great week.
Jim
