Good morning, <\/p>\n

I was recently watching the Yeezy documentary. I know I am late to the party, but it really is a work of art. There is a lot one could say about Kanye West and how he is portrayed, but one moment stayed with me long after the credits rolled. At one stage, he moves from Chicago to New York because he believes there might be greater opportunity for him and for his music. No safety net, no guarantees, just a sense that staying put would cost him more than the risk of leaving. It\u2019s a journey many have made over the years. <\/p>\n

That simple act of courage lodged itself in my chest. It made me uncomfortable in the way good questions usually do. When was my last leap of faith?<\/p>\n

I am, by temperament, a risk-avoiding person. I like patterns, systems, and predictable models. A significant part of my success has come from observing what works in other people\u2019s lives and then copying it with discipline and patience. By the way, there is no shame in that. Wisdom often looks like paying attention. Whilst this is true, there is something else that is consistently true of people worth emulating. At some point, they took a risk that could not be spreadsheeted into certainty. They ate their share of fear and moved anyway.<\/p>\n
