What will you choose to pursue today?
Will you work or wait?
Will you love or or let down?
Will you do the dream or die to the dream?
Will you give it all or give up?
Your music – your success – is your responsibility. And responsibility is either chosen or neglected.
Don’t covet.
Don’t blame.
This thing is on you and your Muse.
The more the world spins the more we’re finding it belongs not to the ones with all the right answers, but those curious enough to ask what they hope are the right questions and brave enough to ask the wrong ones that may be wrong.
Leadership was once show and tell, but has now morphed into ask and listen.
Whatever your answer is, therein lies what must be the pursuit of your days, life, family, and business.
I’ve chosen three priceless pursuits…experience, meaning, and fulfillment.
Which then leads to another question: What’s the cost in not pursuing such things?
I’m afraid none of us have deep enough pockets to answer that question.
You will be known and remembered by what you master.
And we all will master something.
Unfortunately, it’s easier to master pity parties and gossip than it is something that is truly great.
But you want something great. You are worthy of greatness.
All the research shows there’s 10,000 hours between you and that which you’re going to master.
Don’t look up to find yourself the host of a 600,000 minute pity party.
I will tell you now, no one will RSVP.

Your biggest advantage is in your weirdness…your difference…and not in your similarities with others.
We’ve often discussed here that Customer Care > Competition Concern.
I assure you this is true.
When you’re always looking over your shoulder and concerned with the competition, more often than not, you become what you never wanted to be…more like them.
Here’s the best news of today. There’s something about you, that’s…well…you.
And that’s all you need.
