72 hours ago, we asked you to pause.
The 72 hours are up.

If it still feels like a good idea — go.
Ideas only have power when they turn into action.

We can't wait to see what you do next.

#TEDxBrisbane #IdeasChangeEverything

[TEDxBrisbane @TEDxBrisbane]

The idea that made you lean forward.
The one that made you uncomfortable.
The one you're already trying to talk yourself out of.

In 72 hours, the ones that still have you will be worth acting on.

The 72 Hour Rule. Sit with it. Don't act. Not yet. #TEDxBrisbane
