“I see defeated people. They’re everywhere. They walk around like everyone else. They don’t even know they’re defeated.” It’s a choice–in your life and in your work. You always know if you are “there”. You just don’t know how you got there. You started compromising on things you once embraced as essential. Redford sent us this short Seth Godin post called “On the Road to Mediocrity” about “settling along the way”. Avoiding mediocrity? Keeping the monster at bay? WAC? is no Seth Godin. But our take is that great habits learned early on difficult work is step one. Step two is vigilance. The fine thing about posts like Godin’s? If it bothers you, you needed to read it.
