If have found the power of one handshake with a stranger, one conversation with a friend, one tough call made, one new idea birthed, one difficult action performed, and one simple day can change your life.
Do you realize how significant today is?
There’s music to be had.
Seize it.

What if some variation of this was inserted into every tube they put a degree in next month across our nation’s universities?
Looking back over the last 2,500 days, I’ve learned a lot since graduation. Often I’ve wished what I’ve learned would have been taught during my college days.
But I’m not so sure it can be taught. It appears it has to be learned.
PS – I just noticed that learned has the word “earned” in it. Looks like there is supposed to be effort and challenge involved in learning these things.
Gandhi once said…”Action expresses priorities.”
I’m going to start referring to this as A.E.P. And today A.E.P. becomes tattooed all over my office, car, and even my hand (with marker).
In other words…
The only thing I can find that precedes an action is a decision. So the question for the day is, how are you going to decide to act?
How soon will it be until all of this sets in?
Timing is everything so pray it sets in sooner than later.
Watch how the wave begins at the next baseball game you go to.
It starts with one guy/girl flailing their arms and looking a bit foolish.
Next, some others in his/her section join in.
Eventually, on the other side of the stadium the people start hearing the roar from the wave building steam. They look for it, find it, and point it out to the person next to them…next – their section is catching up and joining the fun.
The wave is the perfect metaphor for your ideas, products, and services…it’s ok to be weird. Get pointed at, be talked about, and build the wave.
