If the primary motivator of what we do is the maintenance of credibility among our peers, we will not take our place on the expanding frontier of revelation. Each explorer in history, whether it was the exploration of new geography or a new way of thinking, left their credibility behind with those still trapped in fear of the unknown. Credibility has value when it is sourced in our character. It loses value if it becomes an anchor of fear that keeps us from moving forward into places not yet explored.
