Setting outlandish intentions or life stretching goals is an activity avoided by most people for a simple reason: Goals, Intentions, 90 Day Action Plans, all seem to be presenting the individual with a problem that needs solving, and life just doesn't need any more problems.

Some of us avoid solving relational problems because, its a problem and problems need to be avoided.
Some of us fail to stretch to our potential because stretching causes discomfort and pain and well that's a problem, and problems need to be avoided.
Some of us avoid building new positive relationships because new stuff causes fear and fear is a problem and problems need to be avoided.

NEWS FLASH: Successful people see problems as an opportunity to shine, an opportunity to monetize a great new idea, an opportunity to posture oneself as a source of ingenuity. 

Problems aren't a problem they are an opportunity to monetize a solution and thereby introduce a new revenue stream!

So we have to decide whether we are avoiders or embracers?
Are we frozen with indecision or are we energized with ingenuity?
Are we settling for the safest low return on life or chasing the best chance we have to re-invent the world's perception of our amazingness?

It's a choice.  Leaders choose. What will you do?
