W.I.N. Wednesday: Stay out of the cheap seats.

“There are a million cheap seats in the world today, filled with people who will never be brave with their own lives but will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgment at those of us who are trying to dare greatly.”

Brene Brown

Social media provides endless access to the cheap seats Brene Brown referenced in the above quote and endless opportunities for people in the cheap seats to “hurl advice and judgement” at others.

It is easy to be the critic. It is easy to be the opposition. It is easy to sling mud. It is easy to bask in the glow of hindsight bias and talk about what someone should have done. It is easy to spin the lie, “If I was there, I would have ………….”.

Stop.

We would all benefit from spending less time on social media worrying about what other people did or are doing and spend more time in self-reflection looking at our own lives and determining what we can do better.

We would all benefit from taking our own advice and not worrying about other people.

What’s Important Now? Stay out of the cheap seats. Focus on what you control, which is you, and control the controllable. Do the work every day to make yourself a little better than you were the day before.

Take care.
