Fertile Ground

In my inbox this morning was this inspiring bit from Seth Godin on how to get out of a rut:

  • Find things that others have accepted as the status quo and make them significantly, noticably and remarkably better.
  • Find things that you're attached to that are slowing you down, realize that they are broken beyond repair and eliminate them. Toss them away and refuse to use them any longer.

When a not-so-good software tool or a habit or an agency or a policy has too much inertia to be fixed, when it's unbetterable, you're better off without it. Eliminating it will create a void, fertile territory for something much better to arrive.
~ Seth Godin

First of all I love the word, "unbetterable". There's so much in that one word, isn't there?

Secondly, the message gave me pause... as I've learned that when I honor myself, things that no longer serve me fall away on their own. And things that match me come easily.

What are your thoughts?

Is there something in your life that is unbetterable, slowing you down or holding you back?
