A lot of the decisions we make are about tiny tweaks that, in some way, make things better.But, on occasion, life hands us a seeming opportunity to "do something BIG!" Something that holds the potential to profoundly change our lives, the lives of others and maybe even bring into existence a new paradigm, profession, body of work or worldview.Thing about these moments, the always include giant leaps of faith.There is no way to know or prove you'll succeed at something big and new, before you actually do it.In fact, if you could prove it's success in advance, that tells you it's not actually big or new. Because, the only way to do that is if you've already done it before, or if someone else has. Then, it's no longer the revolution you'd hoped it might be.So, when you are faced with the decision to say yes or no, to allocate time, money, energy or resources to something potentially game-changing, where you don't know how it's going to end, how do you make THOSE decisions? On THAT level?Do you trust others? Do you look for data? Do you trust your intuition?That's what today's GLP Riff is all about.Rockstar sponsors & supporters:Camp GLP - Come spend 3 1/2 days with "your people," make amazing friendships, drop the facade, reignite your vitality and learn powerful strategies and breakthrough business ideas.

  • So there's this really interesting thing that happens in our heads.

  • We think we have a great idea, and then sometimes other people think it's a great idea, and sometimes they really don't think it's a great idea.

  • The thing is, what do you do?

  • What do you do when you're in that scenario?

  • Do you go with you, or do you go with them?

  • That's what I'm exploring in today's good Life project riff.

  • So I've had the great gift challenge of launching a lot of things in the world, everything from books to events to companies, and helping a lot of other people bring things into the world.

  • And I've come up against this thing, which is that when you are launching or creating something or bringing something into the world, which is kind of, you know, it's an iteration of something that's out there.

  • It's, you know, it's based on something that's proven, but doing it a bit differently or doing it a bit better, then there's not a whole lot of risk.

  • There may not be a whole lot.

  • Of potential, joy and possibility either.

  • But, you know, we tend to feel pretty comfortable with stuff like that.

  • And then there are these other moments in time, those moments where, as an artist, as a creator, or as somebody who's trying to build a business, a life, relationships, we have to step out in a limb.

  • We have to become leaders in whatever domain that is in our lives, and it scares us.

  • So what do we do?

  • We first?

  • Well, it actually kind of depends.

  • Some of us are just, like, completely and utterly comfortable living and stepping into and taking action to support our own convictions with nothing more.

  • That can sometimes be an act of great leadership.

  • It can also be an act of.
