Introduction

Have you ever heard the phrase “Flying under the radar?” Initially this phrase was used to describe aircraft flying at such low altitudes that it was undetectable by radar systems. But it has often been used to describe people or events that go undetected, or unnoticed. Have you ever felt unnoticed? More importantly, have you ever wanted to be unnoticed?

While many people may dream of worldwide fame and notoriety, the truth is, most people are afraid of the attention that such fame would bring. In fact, in many cases, people often want to be unnoticed. They hate to be put on the spot. It’s said that more people fear speaking in public than death. Sure. We all want recognition when we do well. But not too much recognition, where we must endure the spotlight for an extended period of time. It’s my belief that people’s fear of being out front, or in the spotlight, encourages them to often live below their potential. I also believe that most people find normalcy in going unnoticed and flying under the radar in their lives. And finally, I believe that we weren’t created or designed to live such a self-limiting life.
