## What Jamie wrote

An inspirational view from Seth Godin.

> Our work is what happens in all the moments. Leadership doesn’t simply appear when the script announces it does: it is the hard work of showing up when we’re not expected to, of seeing what’s possible when few are willing to believe.

> Your defining moment is whenever you decide it is, and **you get a new chance to lead every day.**

Keep that in mind for the days you wake up and just don’t see how it’s worth it. Days when you aren’t sure how pushing that rock up a hill helped. The bold at the end is my addition, I love that thought.
