What I’ve found again and again
is that the best
are often incredibly humble
and give “it” everything they’ve got,
whatever the “it” might be.
They focus on the work.
They don’t let up.
And they don’t draw
unnecessary attention to themselves.
Last month, my husband and I were
in London to see a few close friends,
including Andy Nyman
who currently stars in the West End
production of “The Producers.”
Andy is “all out” in the show, night after night–
hilarious, physically funny, singing,
dancing, and playing the lead role
with 100% commitment.
Afterwards, in the dressing room or at dinners,
he is humble and easy-going.
It’s a pretty great way to be
in the arts, business, or life.
You give it your all.
You deliver for a larger end game.
And don’t make it about you.
Regardless of your role in work or life,
(even if you’re starring on stage)
when we point our Throughline outwards
in service of others,
it’s transformational.
Risk Forward & Rock On,
