While I’m working on fleshing out the upcoming post, “Who Wants to be a Millionnaire?” I came across this wonderful post by Sonia Simone on her blog.
Not only did she bring back a specific memory (as I live in the DC area) but she did a spot-on job of making the situation resonate in a business/life sense. When was the last time you stepped out and accepted your greatness?
As Sonia states:
“We could try to be a little more aware as we move through our days–leave
a little room open for the possibility that something extraordinary could
happen. Let’s face it, when human beings are involved, there’s always room
for the extraordinary.But beyond that, we could try to expect better out of our
lives. We could expect greatness from our work. We could expect passionate
fanaticism from our customers. We could expect personal lives and professional
lives that nourished and enriched one another, and brought us joy.Hell, we could start by expecting to get paid what we’re worth. Baby
steps.”
All I ask is that you think about your greatness and start acting ‘as if.’
