Notes from Aug 15 2020

If you are not indispensable (yet) its because you have made that choice. My goal is to help you see that the choice is yours. 

School exists for a reason, but that reason might not be what you think it is. 

The linchpin is an individual who can walk into chaos and create order, some who can invent, connectm create and make things happen. 

To become indispensable involves doing difficult work. Linchpins are geniuses, artist and gives of gifts. 

The hard work isnt lifing or shoving or sharpening. The hard work is being brace enough to make a difference. 

Deep within your brain lies the amygdala, the lizard brain. It sets out to sabotage anything that feels threatening, risky or generous. Until you name recognize and deal with the resistance you will stay frustrated.

Art is a gift. The culture of gifts has a long history on this planet, and understanding how it brings people together is a critical step in becoming indispensable. 

Indispensable linchpins are note waiting for instructions but instead figuring out what to do next. 

Your personality and attitude are more important than the actual work product you create because indispensable work is work that is connected to others. 

There are no guarantees that the marketplace (commerce) will embrace your ideas (art). And when the connection isnt made, blind persistence isnt always the best approach.

This new dream isnt about obedience, its about vision and engagement.
