From the Ted Talk by Drew Dudley: Everyday leadership

Unscramble the Blue Letters

Marianne Williamson said, "Our greatest fear is not that we are iedaqtunae. [It] is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light and not our dkaesrns that frightens us." My call to action today is that we need to get over our fear of how exrnaiiatlrrody powerful we can be in each other's lives. We need to get over it so we can move beyond it, and our little brothers and sisters and one day our kids — or our kids right now — can watch and satrt to value the icampt we can have on each other's lives, more than money and power and titles and ifnelunce. We need to redefine leadership as being about lollipop moments — how many of them we create, how many we acknowledge, how many of them we pay forward and how many we say thank you for. Because we've made lshedeirap about changing the world, and there is no world. There's only six billion understandings of it.

Original Text

Marianne Williamson said, "Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. [It] is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light and not our darkness that frightens us." My call to action today is that we need to get over our fear of how extraordinarily powerful we can be in each other's lives. We need to get over it so we can move beyond it, and our little brothers and sisters and one day our kids — or our kids right now — can watch and start to value the impact we can have on each other's lives, more than money and power and titles and influence. We need to redefine leadership as being about lollipop moments — how many of them we create, how many we acknowledge, how many of them we pay forward and how many we say thank you for. Because we've made leadership about changing the world, and there is no world. There's only six billion understandings of it.
