You can choose what you do.
You can choose how you do it.
How you are going to show up.
However, they also get to choose.
They also get to pick.
Using whatever criteria they like.
Perhaps you don’t fit their criteria.
You might not be chosen.
You may not have what they are looking for.
The appropriate skills and knowledge.
The experience and track record.
The preferred approach or methodology.
They may not pick you.
So, stop waiting.
Pick yourself!
“The opportunity of a lifetime is to pick yourself. Quit waiting to get picked; quit waiting for someone to give you permission; quit waiting for someone to say you are officially qualified … and pick yourself.” – Seth Godin
“With realisation of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.” – Dalai Lama
