I’m still feeling ropey, but as I eluded to in my last email, that doesn’t really matter when you add it all up. That’s especially true in light of viewing Randy Pausch’s lecture, and I want you to see it too because he’s right on the money. Take a look and then read on.

I love that Randy talks a lot about having fun and playing well. That’s exactly the approach I take with every one of my clients, and this is the only real choice you have:

To become a great player in a game that truly matters.

As Randy says, “experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want“. Absolutely true, and the fact that you might not get what you want and might not win does not change the fact that you love the game. That’s where the gold is.

So if you don’t make the decision to engage with a game that matters to you you’ll be missing out on the fun stuff, you’ll be missing out on what’s most important to you and you’ll be missing out on a truly confident life.

That’s what Ryan has by the bucket-load. (Here’s the full lecture on YouTube if you’re interested.)
