Are You Ready To Pick Yourself?

Wanted to share this powerful video with author Seth Godin as he talks about picking yourself.

We all want to get picked for something, it’s in our DNA to be accepted. Right?

I am waiting for this to come or this to happen…and we wait and we wait and we don’t do anything at all. What if the “gate keepers” have all of a sudden lost their power to pick and choose? What if we could as Seth Godin suggests, “pick yourself?”

You want to write a book, pick yourself! You want to make a record, do it on iTunes! You want to [fill in the blank], do it!

Seth shares that it’s available because communication now is so easy. What is stopping you? For me and you (most likely), its the fear of the fear of failure! We want to play it safe.

If you’re frustrated that you’re not getting picked, one plan is to up your game, to hustle harder, to figure out how to hone a pitch and push, push, push. But in the era of picking yourself, it seems to me that you’re better off finding a path that doesn’t require you get picked in order to succeed.

 -Seth Godin

What is it that you have to do, to pick yourself?

Google surprised many of us with the news that they would be shutting down Google Reader as of July 1, 2013. This was not welcome news because many folks, including me, consume most of their blog content with an RSS aggregator. Google Reader is simple and easy-use.

I relied heavily on Google Reader to search out the blogosphere for useful content to share across my social networks and with my community.

So what now?

Have you discovered Feedly?

#001: Alive In Christ Radio Interview [Podcast]

We have lost our story!

Think about walking on a road holding torn out pages from a book. Then you discover that these pages are the fragments of your own life story. The pages are torn and beaten up and we have no idea how to make sense of it all.

That describes most of us, doesn’t it?

* Interview starts about 25mins into the broadcast.
