The enemy of a great life is a good life

Ever heard of the saying "the enemy of a great life is a good life".

I don't know about you but when things are good and life been treating me well, I do tend to get complacent...I sort of lose my competitive edge, I lose my hunger. That’s why good is the enemy of great. It’s because it lulls us, softens us and seduces us into thinking that we don’t really need to try. You’re not that bad, so why bother?

"Every day, people settle for less than they deserve....but everyone has the potential for greatness" ~ Bo Bennet

Everyone is capable of doing good work...but great work takes initiative, creativity, passion and courage. That sounds like a lot of effort when there’s no burning need to change. Sometimes we even allow mediocre work as acceptable, we settle for less and we lower our standards...but still we keep asking ourselves why our status quo remains stagnant. 

Have you heard this before? If you keep doing the same thing you will get the same result. So very very true: if you keep on doing the same things, taking the same action and thinking the same thoughts, guess what you’re going to get? The same results that you’ve been getting!

In stark contrast to the egoistic personalities that have come to dominate modern organisation culture, great organisation are run by visionary leaders that embrace change and promotes creativity. This a great ad by Apple Computers from their "Think Different" ad series. I like this...
