This Might Not Work
One of my greatest teachers of the past 12 years is not a traditional spiritual figure, yet his work made no less of an impact.
Seth Godin is a business philosopher and marketing expert. But anyone who knows Seth knows he is much more than that. He is a champion of human creativity and a provocateur who helps us overcome the beliefs that keep us small, so that we can share our gifts with the world.
One of the core mantras I've taken from him is: This Might Not Work.
It would be nice if we could create knowing the outcome. If we knew the business would succeed, the art would be celebrated, and the book would have raving reviews.
But creativity doesn't come with certainty. And often the biggest breakthroughs come when we are least sure of what will happen.
Recently, I gave feedback to one of my clients' meditations. After implementing it, he created a new one, and when he showed it to me, he said, "I'm not sure if this is going to work."
BINGO.
Now he was actually entering new territory, which is the definition of creativity. If we always do what is assured, where is the fun in that?
New results require new risks.
This Might Not Work applies to anything that demands vulnerability.
Proposing a new idea at work?
Sharing a new offer on social media?
Making a new meditation course?
It might not work.
Do it anyway.
The successful ones rack up rejection after rejection after rejection. They know that by staying in the game, they are strengthening their resilience and perseverance.
