Ticking

Every founder experiences the ticking clock during their pitch.  A clock dominated his slides.  He highlighted time, energy, risks, and trust points for discussion and consideration.  I watched him, intrigued by his willingness to put himself out in the open for all to examine and react.  I was unsure if I could muster the courage to do the same.  It feels safer to walk in still waters, avoiding disruption and challenge.  As I wrestled with my doubts, I reflected on my journeys as a founder and change leader.

Living life to the fullest includes stepping into the unknown. My experience reminds me that there are more unknowns than knowns, more risks than certainties. I have come to appreciate the power of the fears, uncertainties, and doubts within me. I have learned that I cannot ignore them, even as I choose not to be dominated by them. I hear the call to care, lead, and inspire others to fulfil their callings. Each calling is personal, with the decision to respond lying within the individual. I am encouraged by the examples before me. For instance, “By an act of faith, Abraham said yes to God’s call to travel to an unknown place that would become his home. When he left, he had no idea where he was going.” (Hebrews 11:8) 

Living comes with varying degrees of personal risk.  I know I am in trouble when I find that I am measuring myself and my progress through others.  Divinity has predefined my worth.  I am someone’s child, and I am a family member.  I have a role to play.  I decide what my contribution will be and why.  There is ample opportunity to take my place and make a difference.  With this comes endless risks.  I will be attacked.  I will wrestle with the demons of doubt and failure.  I will run out of energy and courage.  I will be in the battle for my life.  It will go on for as long as I draw breath.

The clock is on; it is time to step into my day.
