I heard Seth Godin talk about the idea of “hiding”.
When we can’t choose which path to take.
It means we’re hiding. Plain and simple.
Like a kid playing a grown-up game of hide and seek.
The goal is ultimately to be found.
For someone to seek long enough to uncover us.
Each great idea is like our little kid self.
Waiting in the dark, hunched over behind the door, barely breathing for fear of being found.
Yet still silently longing for the moment we hear footsteps. And the door creaks open. Where the shadows give way to the light and we are discovered. Finally.
Hide less. Seek more.
