Pioneer: The Noun & The Verb

We all long to pioneer something and there is great fulfillment found in settling into a new place or story, exploring new ideas, and in creating something from nothing.

Look at your life, family, and business and you’ll find those places and points where you pioneered something to be illuminated with fulfillment, meaning, and probably purpose as well. It may have come in the form of a garden grown, a family tradition started, a new product released, a unique service you saw opportunity with, or an idea you saw in your mind and eventually held in your hands.

But here’s the thing about being a pioneer…

If you want to be the noun, you’ve got to be the verb.

Hinges

It all hinges on:

– people.

– time.

– imagination.

– change.

– hope.

May we constantly be aware of such things, for they are what open and close our doors to the music we make and lead us into leaving our worlds better than we found them.

Celebrate The Small, Unseen

More often than not, we forget to celebrate the small and positive progressions in our lives.

We must celebrate the baby step, the meal without _______, the day without ________, the day with _________, debt reduced, a lesson learned, a skill honed, a moment made, and on and on.

There’s something about a celebration that makes us want to point towards more of what will lead us to another celebration tomorrow.

Greatness is formed in humble beginnings and mapped out via baby steps.

The unseen > what is seen……and what is typically overlooked will eventually be what you show the world.

You Are Contagious (And So Are Others)

Your excellence.

Your par performance.

Your excitement.

Your pity party.

Your outlook.

Your look inward.

Your encouragement.

Your discouragement.

Your belief.

Your disbelief.

Your pursuit of goals.

Your contentment.

These are just a few of the things we can’t wash our hands of, so be careful who you shakes hands with.

Chances are you were given disbelief by someone before you consistently spoke it to yourself.

On the flip side, look at where excellence is found in your life, and you probably can trace it back to a time where you were around someone who, well…sneezed excellence.

Persistence: The Choice Of Greatness

When it comes to persistence, it will never be a necessary conversation without a specific desire.

A desire to do and become a part of something great.

Experience, meaning, fulfillment, and purpose are the shadows of that greatness desired.

Nevertheless, we will face pushback, setbacks, walls, and locked doors.

And so we must choose.

Choose to persist.

And choose to persist again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Persist today and somehow, someway, there will be enough grace to persist tomorrow. That’s how our Muse rolls.

Dream great dreams. Expect resistance. Choose persistence.

It’s a choice and only your can choose it. Never forget that.
