Paralyzed

Paralyzed: To make unable to move or act due to:

  • previous experiences
  • pretending/acting
  • shame
  • fear
  • what if?
  • what will they say?
  • what if I fail?
  • what if something bad happens?

Give in to just one of these and you run the risk of pulling the pen for the grenade on your thing, idea, service, product, art, or music.

Don’t look backwards and careful with the questions you ask yourself. Sure you can connect the dots looking backwards, but we’re all wanting help connecting the hidden dots of what lies ahead of us.

If LTMPblog has a hope, it’s that you would recognize the opportunity in this moment, be constantly conscious of the possibility found in now, and always have an ear working to decipher the music that could be.

We rarely remember news reporters – those that report back to us on the past. Rather, we adore and hold high the discoverer, the creator , and the luminary…those that spotlight the new.

In every day and in every now the page is blank and the pen is full.

True work is the kind that puts the ink on the paper.

The Old Is Gone And The New Is Waiting To Be Written

Odds

If you’re ok with…

  • 99 ‘no’s’ for every ‘yes’.
  • Challenges exceeding your plans.
  • No Plan B.

The odds will be ever in your favor.

It Takes Two…

1) What are you saying to the world?

2) What is the world saying back to you?

To answer these two questions, we must realize two truths:

1) To answer these questions will require awareness and vulnerability.

2) Every day is an art show.

Give it a Name

Something unique happens when you name those things, feelings, thoughts, or ideas that you’re in pursuit of or that haunt you.

For instance, Steven Pressfield calls that nagging voice of distraction and disbelief the “resistance”. Now that you have a name for it and that name discloses what it does, you can now call it out push back against it.

For purposes of this blog, we’ve named the success we are all after as “our music.” By giving success the name music, we’ve opened the idea that success could be a timely collection of multiple factors that occur simultaneously. So we must gather instruments and insure they’re making music and not noise.

In creating names for these ideas and unseen realities, two things happen:

1) For the good things you’re after, now you and your tribe have something to point at.

2) For those things that haunt you, now you can call them out, silence them, and mute their plea. Caution: they hate being named.
