I read this post from Seth Godin, and I want you to have it.
In a culture fascinated by attitude, gloss and performance, it’s easy to believe that adopting an affect is precisely what you need to make a difference.
In fact, the persistent, generous work that happens when no one is looking is what actually makes a difference.
Looking the part (or simply acting like it) isn’t nearly as important as the change we actually make.
Who we intend to be shapes the mask we wear; but, the mask we wear doesn’t make us serve any better.
Outcomes matter.
