Common Sense Can Be Revolutionary
Another in the series of posts inspired by my second read of Derek Sivers’ Anything You Want:
We think revolution looks like fists in the air, crowds in the streets, and lightning-bolt moments of destiny. But real change often feels like…common sense.
How many times do we overlook the slow-growing relationships, the quiet practices, the small shifts that eventually move mountains, because we thought they didn’t feel “big enough”?
I’ve been guilty of that. Waiting for the dramatic moment of clarity or the lightning bolt of purpose. But when I look at the most meaningful things I’ve built, they rarely started that way. They started small: conversations in a warehouse, a handful of people at an early event, ideas jotted in a notebook. None of it felt revolutionary at the time. But those small, steady steps shaped Yo Miami more than any grand plan.
The “revolution” comes later, when others look back and call it that. In the moment, it just feels like doing what makes sense, over and over.
