I just read these few lines from Hugh Macleod in his new book Ignore Everybody and 39 other keys to creativity. Sorry Hugh, I am going to write them here, so I will never forget them. Very eye opening – fantastic!!! Here they are, and they are really worth remembering:
Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
You may never reach the summit; for that you will be forgiven. But if you don’t make at least one serious attempt to get above the snow-line, years later you will find yourself lying on your death bed, and all you will feel is emptiness.
Admit that your own private Mount Everest exists, that is half the battle.
We all need to climb our own Mount Everest. Your own Mount Everest, whatever your is. You know, which one it is. Go, start doing whatever you always wanted to do. Try that thing, you always wanted to try.
Escape, explore, dream, achieve, develop, jump start, discover, rock, move. But remember, it needs to be a serious attempt that will probably fell little uncomfortable and maybe it will also hurt a little.
