The great thing about difficulty is that it keeps the mediocre from attempting great things<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been working on the details for a class on creativity for business people<\/a> that’s designed to help them unleash their right-brain thinking for business. I\u2019ve heard it said that the devil is in the details and<\/em> that God is in the details. It may be a mix of both, but I know every time I\u2019m trying to launch something of significance, the minutia is what eats up my energy.<\/p>\n

What keeps me going forward is: 1) if it really is important, then it\u2019s important to see it through; and 2) it\u2019s the difficulty that stops the mediocre people from trying. Most people go for the low-hanging fruit then quit when there\u2019s any obstacle in the way.<\/p>\n

I find myself talking with people every week who want to accomplish great things. But not only do they not have a plan, they quit when fate doesn\u2019t just drop success in their laps. I feel as if I\u2019m going to bleed to death some days from the small nicks of a thousand details. But I realize that charging ahead with a will to finish is what the average person lacks.<\/p>\n

Is there something of significance that you need to see through to completion? Don\u2019t let the details bleed your heart.<\/p>\n
