We all often look to make things awesome, create the next big thing, to be great, amazing… all of the above.
Richard Branson, challenges this thinking. One of Britain's highest profile billionaires as founder of Virgin, he has a great quote where our Agoge value to 'be the best' means to be simple!
"Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to make something simple."
In my final years of high school I was labelled. I was average (to below average). I lacked discipline. I needed to work harder. It would have been easy for me to accept that story and have it define my life.
What your schools, friends, colleagues and even family say about you is far less important than it seems.
Far more important is the story you tell yourself.
You get to choose the story that shapes your life.
No one else.
