Have you ever noticed that you slow your walking pace to match those around you? You DO KNOW that you do that with everything, right? And, you know that you have a choice about how to create a breakthrough for yourself and for others, setting the pace for them.
Pay attention to the people and media around you. Could you level up and, in so doing, help others to level up, too?
Expand yourself so you can set the bar for others and then watch as those around you rise or fall away.
