Everyone, Everywhere, All at Once

"Everyone Is Necessarily the Hero of His Own Life Story." - John Barth

You'd rather read a story about your exploits than those of Hernan Cortez. The same applies for athletes, band members, thespians, and robotics devotees. 

Review the 'Achievement Equation'. Do the math. 

ACHIEVEMENT = PERFORMANCE x TIME 

Legacy follows an elite performance (in the moment) or excellent performance over a career.

Let's digress. Amy Poehler shares a MasterClass in improv. She asks, "do you belong in this scene?" Is the scene better because of your performance? 

Have special skills that make the scene better. If you want the scene, build your skills to "take up space." Size doesn't define capacity to take up space (Maggie Turner). Take up space and add connection to make the team better.

Lagniappe. "Control what you can control..." attitude, choices, effort

Life is about CHOICES.

Here are 8 of them.

1. Attitude is a Choice
2. Character is a Choice
3. Work Ethic is a Choice
4. Leadership is a Choice
5. Consistency is a Choice
6. Commitment is a Choice
7. Daily Habits are a Choice
8. Encouragement is a Choice

SUCCESS is a Choice.
