In a world where we are constantly told to focus and achieve, we are also encouraged to stay relentlessly busy and participate. It’s a mixed message at best, not to mention a set-up for failure and dissatisfaction. Even when we perform like a rock star, we are left feeling the pressures of the hundred things that didn’t get done while we were bringing down the house. In one of the most powerful TedTalks I have ever seen, Justine Musk teaches us the art of the “Deep Yes.” Finding your “Deep Yes” is the first step to finding one of your all too often hidden superpowers: your “Bright No.” If you are pulled in too many directions, your talent and energy is often taken up by others, and your own creative projects are paying the price. This GERM U short course may well be one of the most important fifteen minutes you spend on yourself. Watch Justine Musk, and find out why those things that people are always telling you that you have “too much of” may actually be your greatest strengths.
