(If you’ve been following this series, you know I’m working on building a TED talk about what my son – with a communications disorder – has taught me – a communications professional – about communication. I’m delivering the talk this Saturday at TEDxMU. I’ve been chronicling the presentation process here on The Daily Blur in the hopes that – by watching me deconstruct the process I’ve gone through many times – you’ll begin to look at public speaking with a little less mystique and anxiety.)
When I was younger – in my 20s – I was in awe of great talent, award-winning talent – the people who made it look easy.
That’s all changed for me now.
No, talented people don’t impress me much anymore.
The relentless do.
The magic is not in the size of your steps, but in the Will to just keep going and in encouraging others to do the same.
Relentlessness is the greatest expression of commitment.
Commitment is the greatest expression of love.
My son taught me that.
And then he asked me if you needed a permit to own a raygun.
Relentlessness is the greatest expression of commitment.
Commitment is the greatest expression of love.
Worth repeating I’d say!
Thank you Tim for sharing these lessons with us. Please don’t stop completely. May we have updates?
Thank you for sharing your son’s journey. It’s inspiring and I hope to take many of these lessons and put them into my own life.
