Less Impressed, More Involved

Less Impressed, More Involved.
I came across this saying in the book Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey (I really enjoyed this one BTW).
Spend less time admiring from afar. Spend less time in awe. Spend less time being amazed at another accomplishment.
Get involved.
Even when working with people like Martin Scorsese, McConaughey would say there is no magic. You have to do the work.
Want to be a writer. Write.
Want to be a coach. Coach.
Want to be a stock trader. Trade.
You have the greenlight.
If you not a starter and you think you should be, give 'em no choice in the decision. Play so well it's undeniable.
