The worst sort of powerlessness happens when we’re seduced into doing it to ourselves.
Waiting to get picked
Repeating and rehearsing negative self-talk
Only choosing from the available options
Refusing to do the reading
Not having a budget
Not having a timeline
Avoiding new ideas
Undermining your own work
Seeking useless criticism
Avoiding useful feedback
Having a tantrum
Focusing on the short term
Avoiding generous connection
