We have met the enemy

We have met the enemy.  These are some characteristics of our enemy. 

It is distraction.  There’s too much.  We need less distraction, so we can focus on more meaningful work that really matters.  Focus is key to success.  It is in shorter supply than ever.  We must overcome distraction.  Our future depends on it.

It is complexity.  Complexity can prevent us from moving things forward.  Keep it simple.  It makes more sense and everyone will be a lot happier. 

It is mediocrity.  Settling for something that is simply OK rather than something that is excellent.  Let’s do great things, together. 

It is us.  Sometimes the enemy is the voice in our own heads.  It is the voice of that nagging, self-doubt that says to us, “we’re not good enough.”  Or that “we can’t” or maybe the question, “should we?"  Sometimes it is the voice from others closest to us.  Friends or family members — those who offer advice because they’re ’trying to help’ but don’t truly understand what it is we are determined to bring about into existence.
