Man in the Arena

These days, it is easy to sit in the cheap seats and be a critic, there are so many platforms to
throw shade on other’s efforts and failures. Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the arena” speech: “it’s not the critic that counts” is the first line of his powerful message of working hard, failing, learning, and taking risks.

Don’t be a critic – the person who sees other’s weakness and attacks those weaknesses.
{usually, to keep the light off their own limitations}.
Start listening and looking for other’s potential; those things that can help other’s become a
better version of themselves.

Speak the words, highlight and support the attempts and risks people are taking to make a
change, impact the world, become their best selves.
We need more empathy, more compassion. Empathy is “I feel your pain.” Compassion is “Tell
me how I can help you with your pain.” Use these to help move people to the best version of themselves.

How do you become more empathic and compassionate? You LISTEN, get really good at listening for meaning ….not response.
There’s enough critics – find the way to lift others.
