Pride has a way of putting us in our place. So many times, I wanted to look good and not play the fool. Unfortunately, my pride was the thing that made me look like a fool.
Whenever I’ve looked down on someone, it has inevitably caused me to fall. Whenever I see a pundit or politician pumping himself up while tearing another person down, I get out of the way. Sooner or later, that guy is going to fall!
Cartoon of two men. One says, “The toughest job I ever had was when I interviewed mimes.”
Cartoon of a boy and a zombie. The boy says, “You’re a better listener ever since you became a zombie!”
I thought I’d try and see what would happen if I took a sketch directly from the Sketchbook Express app and published to WordPress on my iPad. This test won’t win any awards, but I’m rather happy with the results. This could be the start of something fun.
Cartoon of a guy holding back a bulging door. He says, “My idea is getting push-back.”
No matter what kind of business you’re in, no matter what kind of creative endeavor you have, no matter what kind of cause you are for, you are going to get push back. This is especially true if you have an idea or cause worth fighting for. Someone is going to want to fight back. That’s how you know it’s worth fighting for anyway.
I used to think if I was getting resistance to an idea, it wasn’t meant to be. Now I realize quite the opposite. Push-back is part of the process. Besides, if nobody cares about your idea, if no one get’s fired up for or against it, it must not be a very powerful idea.
