Medals and Dominoes

The iPod was out of the box. Medal #1.

The iPhone started its own box. Medal #2.

The iPad has now finished that box and the masses have taken up residence there. Medal #3.

And we know, today, the minds in Cupertino are imagining and creating what will lead to medals #4, #5, #6, etc.

Remarkable is the habit of the greats.

Is it me – or does the 20th Olympic medal look a lot easier to get than the first?

Do something so wild – 

Create something so extravagant –

Serve in a way that is so mind-blowing that you cause the first domino to fall –

He will then pave the way for the rest.

Another Way to Say #LTMP

“Through all the lines and things that are put in place to divide us, all like-minded people gather together, we’re more curious than ever.

We create music to express ourselves and when the world relates, that’s a beautiful thing.

We’re all trading off each other’s culture, so no matter what lines you put–country, indie rock, rap, we’re all somehow gonna find a way to come together.

That’s it. That’s what it’s all about. We are finally we living out our creed.”

Jay Z

A speedy rant.

8:22 am

We don’t soak up life enough.

We don’t want our dreams bad enough.

We blame others too much.

We are successful where we are calloused.

We don’t look at the stars enough.

Remember your first day on the job. Where’d the joy and passion go?

There were things left unfinished yesterday. Unacceptable.

Now is the most important minute of the day. (It’s always now)

We should challenge the status quo more often.

Your plan got you here.

We forget to pray. Not in the cliché sense – I’m talking truly connecting with Infinite Intelligence.

Art. Career. Family. Purpose. = Life = Joy. Hope. Passion. Etc. = What we’re really after.

Fly fishing should be required to be taught in all public schools.

We need your music. The noise is getting out of control.

Music’s antonym is accident.

We are all Olympians in something.

We’ve got one shot at this thing.

Let the music play. No, today – make it play.
