Tribes
I am in the middle of a book that Pastor Ray sent me called “Tribes” by Seth Godin. Check out this excerpt, it is amazing how God can speak to you so many ways…
“What people are afraid of isn’t failure. It’s blame. Criticism.
We choose not to be remarkable because we’re worried about criticism. We hesitate to create innovative movies, launch new human resource initiatives, design a new menu that makes diners take notice, or give an audacious sermon because we’re worried, deep down, that someone will hate it and call us on it.
‘That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard!’ ‘What a waste of money.’ ‘Who’s responsible for this?’
Sometimes the criticism doesn’t even have to be that obvious. The fear of hearing ‘I’m surprised you launched this without doing more research’ is enough to get many people to do a lot more research, to study something to death, and then kill it. Hey, at least you didn’t get criticized.”
