I alluded to it at the end of Part One but it needs it’s own post…
Why do we so desperately want the real story the full story? What is it we are hoping for when we watch the Behind The Music about whatever our interest is?
The easy quick response is that it’s fun, entertaining and interesting. True. But I posit there’s two reasons underneath our mere interest…
If we believe we have the full story…
1. We can copy the process and expect the same result.
2. We can finally uncover what their unfair advantage was, delineate the objective differences between them and us, and have an iron clad excuse about why we can’t achieve what they did.
And depending on what was for lunch or how sunny it is outside, the pendulum swings from one to the other on a regular basis.
Don’t get distracted by trying to get the full story or by the trappings of thinking you have it. Learn what you can, get inspired, enjoy the story and move on.
