So I read Seth Godin’s post “The You Show” and just had to take my crack at the subject.
Many people fall into someone else’s show. This usually happens in the form of taking that corporate 9-5 job making someone else money and playing by their rules. You end up in this show whether you like it or not. To many people hate the show they are in but don’t change it. They either don’t know how to change it or simply don’t think they can change it.
Well now it’s time to create the YOU show. Get out there and lead something. Change something. This is what entrepreneurs do. They lead and change and in turn create a show about themselves. They start businesses, blogs, groups, clubs that reflect what they love and what they are passionate about. As a result they are much happier because they are doing what they love.
Even if you don’t feel like stepping up and instead want to just be part of someones show. You can still use this mentality to achieve greater things. Don’t try and fit in everywhere instead express your thoughts and passions until you find a place that shares the same ones.
Now not everybody will like this show but it doesn’t matter. You will be able to find enough people out there that do want to tune in to be able to create something valuable. You will also find yourself happier because you are surrounded by people with the same ideals and passions.
The point is that you can create your own path. You don’t have to follow someone else’s path. If you are passionate about something then take charge and lead a movement in it. The great part is that even though this sounds so simple so few people take action. Millions of people are out there craving to be led.
If you are one of the few who steps up and creates a show you will find yourself on an awesome and thrilling ride.
Who’s show are you in?
