The Hockey Player Lesson.

“… Hockey players have terrible teeth, son; I don’t want you playing Hockey. You’ll lose a tooth.”

That’s what my mom told me in the 90’s.

And it’s that thought process we all experience daily. The media is filled with caution, warnings, and fear of catastrophes. The crash, the next big Wuhan C3PO virus that kills, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

You get it.

But, rot is far more common than the one bang!

Things decay unless we persistently work to support them. Organizations, reputations, systems, health, investments, your home, your people, your marketing … even our teeth, right?!

So Mom, for every Hockey player who lost a tooth in a game, there are a million people who lost one over time.

Fear the rot, the bangs are simply a distraction.
