I’ve got half a mind to…
…do something that no one thinks is possible because it hasn’t been done before.
…educate people who want to listen rather than spending time chasing the attention of the masses.
…take a risk and do work that matters.
…engage with conflict rather than seeking to avoid or minimize it, not because avoidance and minimization are wrong, but because the outcomes of such actions are no longer optimal.
…believe the best about people rather than the worst.
…go to a meeting and do the hard work of engaging with my community even though tiredness, disinterest, and fear have blocked participation in the past.
…address the truth to power.
…build a project, write a book, create a podcast, make an online course, rather than merely consuming more content that other people have created.
…be generous even though there will be little coming back in return.
…turn off the TV, and read a book.
…turn off the Internet and read a book.
…negotiate for what is the best, rather than accepting merely the “good enough.”
…mediate between two people in conflict rather than walking away.
…decide to sit in silence and listen rather than giving that other party a ‘piece of my mind.’
…use my whole mind.
