host of witnesses

You’re not alone.

This is great news for your mental health but bad news for your career. You are very good at somethings, but there are other people who are also very good at some of those same things, and frankly, some people who are probably better.

This creates an interesting scenario:

Either one, you have a whole host of witnesses around you, people who have gone before, mapped the realm, forged a path, a path not well worn but not hard to find, showing you the way to do something that was once impossible.

Or, if no one has gone before—well then, there’s a host of witnesses behind you, looking to you for a way forward in a world with the bar set impossibly low.

So either do it for those who have gone before, or do it for the people who will follow after.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
