In 1989 I randomly sat next to a cute girl at college orientation. I mustered the courage to say hi. I’ve been married to that girl for 26 years. In 1999 a friend invited me to try rock climbing. I said yes and discovered a life-long passion. In 2017 while sitting in a board meeting I had an epiphany: This isn't the life I want. I quit my job and moved the fam to Boulder with no plan. The rest is history. Here’s the crazy thing about life: One action, one decision, one pivotal moment can change everything (for better or worse). But here's the trick: You don’t know beforehand which action will be the game-changer. That’s why it’s important to have a strong bias toward action. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Make that phone call you’ve been putting off Push through when you feel like quitting Have that uncomfortable conversation Introduce yourself to that cute guy/girl Check out that church or faith group Ask for that promotion or raise Apply for that new job Sign up for that class Start that side hustle Post that tweet Take that trip The world belongs to the bold. Be a seeker, open to change and opportunity. And most importantly... Shoot your shot.
