Be the only

Be the only person who turns up to a meeting ready with the agenda, questions, a journal and pencil early and ready to roll. Be the only person who doesn't eat the lollies on the conference table. Be the only one who exercises daily. Be the only one who never takes phone calls at the dinner table. Be the only parent on the sideline who is not on their phone. Be the only person on the bus not flicking through socials. Be the only person on the train learning during the commute. Be the only audience member with the courage to ask questions. Be the only person who sits after break time to make notes, reflect and decide the next point of action to execute. Be the only one who is early for telephone calls. Success favours those that rise above the pack. It's common to be in the herd. It's uncommon to be the only. Your children crave it, your team members crave it, you crave it, be uncommon and be the only. It's difficult because you stand out. It's difficult because often it's very uncomfortable. All growth comes from discomfort. The greatest rewards come from being the only. It's something David Goggins talked about in his bestselling book Can't Hurt Me.
