Greta Thunberg,
the 16 year old environmentalist,
is changing the world.
Some people argue
she won’t be able
to stop climate change.
As some people will argue
the business you’re starting
will never be successful.
Maybe they are right.
Maybe she won’t stop
climate change
but she IS making a difference.
And that difference could buy us time.
It could inspire innovation.
It could save a life or two or millions.
It could change someone’s world.
And maybe your naysayers
are right also.
Maybe your business won’t succeed.
but maybe that failure
will lead to success.
Maybe you’re forming a relationship
or learning a tactic
that will make your next business
wildly successful.
“You are also
a once-in-history,
never-to-be-repeated
collection of dreams,
struggles, doubts,
joys, fears,
flaws, and passions,
the likes of which
the world has never seen
and will never see again.
And yes,
your presence is unprecedented.
How dare you feel hopeless
in the suffering
and resigned
to the bad news
and paralyzed
by the pain in your path,
when you have the ability
to alter it all.”
You ARE changing the world,
whether you are eventually successful
or not.
Don’t let naysayers stop you.
