Driven, from with-in

In 1993 Michael Jordan had won his 3rd NBA title with the Chicago Bulls.   The Dallas Cowboys were winning Super Bowls.  And …I was just appointed to run the business for a group of Radiologists in Dallas.

(Okay, this is the only paragraph ever written where I’m included with Michael Jordan, NBA, Dallas Cowboys and Super Bowls.  Call it the blogger’s privilege.)

I had no idea what I was doing.  But I did have a vision for the business.

I remember watching this set of AT&T ads in between Bulls and Cowboys games.

It kept boldly proclaiming  – ‘You Will’.

I bought into it completely.

18 years later, what I once imagined then – is simply normal for my kids today.   Amazing!

Those series of commercials did it’s job.

It made me believe.

It fueled a drive and pursuit that paved the way for me to have an amazing career in healthcare.

Today, I still have no idea what I’m doing.  But, I’m daring to imagine.  And … I’m wondering what kind of world we can create for those who are coming upAfter us.

Jim Collins says that ‘achieving greatness is not a function of circumstance, it’s largely a matter of conscious choice and discipline.‘

It’s our time to inspire leaders to imagine, dare them to believe and challenge them to pursue.

So, we will.
