Is it Time to Cut the Cord?

Yesterday I was assigned to speak in the gym. One of the staff members told me before heading over there that I would be speaking to 600 Middle Schoolers.

YES!!!! I thought to myself. I was born for this!

As I walked in the gym I noticed the sound set up. It was a corded mic plugged into a small Karaoke speaker. I knew it wasn't ideal, little did I know it would impact the effectiveness of my talk.

I was limited in using my voice inflections for effect and drawing the audience in to my story and I was limited in my overall range of motion.

These aren't excuses. I still spit fire and students were impacted.

The lightbulb moment for me came when I walked out of the gym.

In life, there are so many of us that are extremely talented. We know what we can do however we find ourselves in situations that limit our ability to get in the zone we know we can get into.

Maybe it's a symbolic speaker that's too small and doesn't capture our true passion. Maybe it's a symbolic mic chord that is too short, limiting our range of motion. If so, it may be time to cut the chord and surround yourself with better elements.

You got it, now go #getit
