The worst sort of powerlessness happens when we’re seduced into doing it to ourselves.
- Waiting to get picked
- Repeating and rehearsing negative self-talk
- Only choosing from the available options
- Refusing to do the reading
- Not having a budget
- Not having a timeline
- Avoiding new ideas
- Undermining your own work
- Seeking useless criticism
- Avoiding useful feedback
- Having a tantrum
- Focusing on the short term
- Avoiding generous connection
