If it ain’t broke don’t fix it…

Posted on by philipdodson

Well, that’s OK if we want to maintain the status quo and stay safe.

The world is full of safe businesses, safe rules, safe strategies, safe, safe, safe, safe.

Sure, it’s risky to try to improve.

But sooner or later safe things become dull and unwanted. Then a risk taker brings something new, exciting, different, and better.

We are no longer safe, we’ve been bypassed by someone who dared to ‘fix’ it.

Safe is risky.

It’s not about fixing, it’s about creating a better version and taking an uncertain path.

Success, nah.

Don’t ever accept just ‘good enough’. It’s not about perfection either.

We often do as a protection against the fear of either success or failure. Most often we fear success as we are fearful of the changes that can bring to our lives.

But just ‘good enough’ is letting ourselves down and we have a responsibility to us to do the best that we can.

It is not about doing better than others or striving to achieve other people’s view of what success is.

It is about doing our best and achieving what success looks like to us.
