Republican politician Newt Gingrich is known to tell a story about a lion and a field mouse; a lion can use his hunting skills to easily capture a field mouse with ease any time he desires, but at the end of the day, no matter how many mice he's gotten, he will still be starving.
What Newt's story means: sometimes despite the risk and the work needed, it's worth our time to go for the antelope.
Are you still chasing your mice, playing it safe and finding convenient reasons to to chase your antelope? Are you starving to make the impact you are born to make?
What wall of your comfort zone will you need to bust through in order to leap to the next higher level of your life?
It could be that you need to reach beyond your current circle of influence by connecting with those that play one or two levels up from where you are right now. Or, it might be that you need to step up your visibility and create a more public image to draw a larger following of your own. Most likely you need both. We all do.
While nothing is more powerful than a face-to-face meeting with those whom you want to influence or collaborate with, it is sometimes impossible to find the time, or the access in the case of a high-ranking personality, to arrange an in-person meeting.
