calling your own number

If you have the strength to put yourself in the game—to keep your money firmly planted where your mouth is, demonstrating the toughness and ingenuity you hope to find in the people around you—

Then you should also have the strength to pull yourself out of the game. To hand yourself the water bottle, slap your own butt, and say: we need you in the 4th quarter. Which means we need you to sit this one out.

Both require courage. Both require strength. One requires the willingness to endure scrutiny.

Are you willing to do the right thing—even at the cost of other people’s negative opinions?

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
