In a 2014 commencement address, Jim Carrey shared three lines that will change the way you think about life:

1. "Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much."

2. "So many of us choose our paths out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect."

That 2nd line hit me hard––specifically the point about "fear disguised as practicality."

Far too many times we choose the "safe" path because we convince ourselves that it's the smart or practical thing to do.

I know, I've spent the better part of my adult life doing exactly that.

I understand, not everyone's life situation is the same.

Sometimes, the conservative path, the practical path, is the right one to take.

But more often than not, we make that decision based on fear of the unknown.

We spend hours upon hours coming up will all of the reasons we can't live our dreams––we convince ourselves that the life we hoped for just isn't in the cards.

It's, as Carrey says, "impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect."

Carrey goes on to relay a story from his childhood:

"My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that was possible for him so he made a conservative choice.

He got a safe job as an accountant and when I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job."

What Carrey says he learned brings us to the 3rd and final line I'd like to share:

" I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that:

You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."

Thanks for reading.

We're all plagued by the same disease.

Short-term thinking is a virus of the mind that holds us back from achieving our true potential.

If we can't do it today – or at least in the very near future – we tend to doubt our ability to do it at all.

According to Jeff Bezos, we've got it all wrong.

In 2017, while being interviewed by his brother, Jeff was asked about his perspective on short vs. long-term thinking.

Here's what he said:

"Long-term thinking is a lever. It lets you do things that you could not do or couldn't even conceive of doing if you were thinking short-term."

To illustrate, he goes on to give an example:

"If I collaborated with somebody here in this audience and I said, 'Look I want you to solve world hunger and I want you to do it in five years' you would properly reject the opportunity.

You would say 'Look it's not possible it's not practical.'

But if I said look, I want you to solve world hunger in a hundred years, that's a job you'd take. Because it's a much more addressable problem."

Two Takeaways:

1. Give yourself the right time horizon

We place higher expectations on ourselves than anyone else. We expect to do more, with fewer resources, in less time.

Ambitious? Sure.

Realistic? Not always.

Make sure your timeline is reasonable for the goal you're trying to achieve.

2. Breathing Room

Bezos says: "If everything has to work in two to three years, then that limits what you can do. If you give yourself the breathing room to say, okay... I'm okay if this takes 7 years, all of a sudden you have way more opportunities."

When we box ourselves into an unreasonable timeframe we make rash decisions, cut corners, and –as a byproduct of being rushed – don't do our best work.

Give yourself permission to breathe.

A little pressure is good, but apply too much, and anything (or anyone) will eventually break.

Never let the thirst for short-term gratification distract you from achieving your long-term goal.

Zohran isn't a big surprise. I know other exciting young Ugandans at JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Meta, Boeing, BlackRock, McKinsey, Microsoft, etc.

Our generalist education gives us broad perspective. Once the "bu Ugandan" habits are eliminated, people want to work with us #talent

[Charles Peter Mayiga @cpmayiga]

I congratulate Ugandan - American, Zohran Kwame Mamdani (born in Kampala) 34, upon clinching the mayorship of New York City (the youngest since 1892), on the Democratic Party ticket, edging out the more experienced Andrew Cuomo (independent) and Republican, Curtis Sliwa.

If one dreams about touching the stars, one is likely to fly as high as the clouds. Good export from the Pearl of Africa 😊

@ZohranKMamdani, Congs and best wishes! CPM
