No Enemies Found

One is unlikely to live a life with 'no errors found'.
However one with 'No enemies found' may be one of the greatest compliments possible.

Not because you played small.
Because you built something meaningful without leaving a trail of destruction, lawsuits, and expensive NDA’s in your wake.

The internet loves the idea that 'haters' prove relevance.
They do not.

More often, having a stack of haters proves arrogance, dishonesty, out-of-control-ego, or attention-seeking behaviour.

Being polarizing is easy. For some, I just did it a moment ago with the sentence above.

Being respected over decades is much more difficult.

We all have our moments of failure. At least I tell myself we 'all' do... to feel better about some of my failures.

Building a reputation where the people who truly know you still trust, respect, and enjoy you over the long haul?

This is a different level entirely.

Aspirational? Absolutely.

Difficult? For sure.

But doable.

Doable.

So do it!

Pursue it!

Be Better!
