Making a Ruckus and Turning Pro

“The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.”
Malcolm Gladwell, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
 
You can tell when you are making an impact. The ruckus usually begins after the truth is discovered and the curtain is slowly opened.
Instead of well-wishers, the only noise will be whispers of denial. As the focus expands and the message spreads, the whispers become a loud roar of threats and the attempt to ruin your credibility begins. When the sound is deafening you've hit the motherlode. The risk is great and the reward is huge.
Most fold their cards and go home.
The battle has now reached the tipping point.
Those with the guts, patience and passion push through it.
You've discovered the meaning of turning pro.                                                      
Suddenly, the story becomes about the war, odds, obstacles and the effort. Everyone has an opinion and the rouse begins.You’re a minuscule hero of sorts.
The Giant has been defeated.
You understand success.
And now it’s time to choose another battle and make a difference again.
This is a true warrior!  


What have you done to overcome a battle and be successful? Do you fight for just causes to help others? Or do you just surrender to fear? I’d love to hear your comments and thoughts.
