(2666)
From Act II, Scene VII of As You Like It, Shakespeare asserts that “all the world is a stage and all the men and women, merely players.”
Don’t kill off the competition.
You will be tempted to do so. The world around you encourages deception–in a passionate way–to gain a footing to win the role. And in doing so, you may be taught to be a detractor of another person’s talent.
Most plays have two main roles, and a whole bunch of character opportunities. Maybe you envision yourself to be a “lead role” type of person. But the deck is stacked against you, because once someone has been given a lead role and they’ve been successful, making money for the corporation, they will be favored for the next lead role.
You may find yourself disgruntled, on the sidelines, badmouthing the stars and insisting that you could do just as well.
No one likes that person. That person is normally written into the script of life as a villain or a pathetic loser.
To avoid the anger which leads to rage and jealousy, causing us to assassinate the character of our fellow-travelers, it is very important to learn where to go to be both happy and productive.
It’s a simple, four-step process:
1. Find a hole.
Yes, there are many things that are left undone, partially because they’re not very glamorous, or they appear to be more difficult. Find one of these–not just “the road less traveled,” but the opportunity less pursued.
2. Fill the hole.
Take that talent you’ve been reserving for the spotlight and move it stage right or stage left, and allow your best performance to shine.
3. Invite friends.
That’s right. Include other people in what you’ve discovered. There is nothing more powerful than making an obscure idea popular, and then walking away from it, so that you can…
4. Find a new hole.
The minute you discover that what you have begun has gained traction, look ahead to what humankind needs and start moving towards it.
There is no such thing as being “ahead of your time.” If you’re not ahead of your time, you’re waiting in line. Actually, being ahead of your time is just having the intelligence to know what is needed, and beating others to the market.
You will have a tendency to be a killer if you don’t learn how to be a doer.
And to become a doer, your job is not to build a super-highway, but instead… find great joy in filling in the pot holes.
