Seth Godin: "Reckless abandon (is neither)"

Direct Marketing Hall of Fame inductee, author of 18 books, and creator of Yoyodyne and Squidoo (now known as HubPages), Seth Godin is a comprehensive thinker.  He speaks towards "post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything" in a blog (@ThisIsSethsBlog) that has become one of the most popular sites of its kind throughout the world (quoted content found on Godin's bio).

Godin published a post on Friday, April 24th in which he speaks towards reckless abandon.  You may find the full text below:

It's not reckless, because when we leap, when we dive in, when we begin, only begin, we bring our true nature to the project, we make it personal and urgent.

And it's not abandon, not in the sense that we've abandoned our senses or our responsibility. In fact, abandoning the fear of fear that is holding us back is the single best way not to abandon the work, the pure execution of the work.

Later, there's time to backpedal and water down. But right now, reckless please.
