4 facts to ponder…
Think of what we miss when we don’t commit, don’t offer to serve, don’t act on the idea that flashed in our beings, and don’t love what we do.
We are all artists. Yes – that includes you too.
With an endless supply of paint, we all must reveal, expose, and unlock the insight into the way we see the world. Humanity doesn’t move forward without us doing this.
Again, paint supply is not the issue…that is replenished every morning within you.
Where we are lacking is in the canvas department.
We are what we art.
All are various forms of hitting the snooze button in our lives.
We oversleep far too often.
From here on out he who owns, creates, and establishes new ideas wins.
Prepare yourself…this is going to frustrate the masses.
Business school attempted to teach me the corporate glossary for 4 years. I confess, I left with a B average and I would fail a vocabulary quiz if given one today.
Our future leaders and dreamers will be clueless in regards to challenging the status quo if they’re taught about “synergy” for 4 years like I was.
Let’s add our own words and ideas to the glossaries we intersect. That’s where my hope lies.
There are thousands of singers (both professional and amateur) that could sell more records than any finalist that will win this year’s American Idol. It’s just a fact.
What do these pros and amateurs lack that the finalist of this years competition have? Discovery.
Or put it another way, they didn’t drive to the audition to stand in line…and, therefore, they didn’t get the chance for a yellow ticket to Hollywood. You can’t win the talent show without entering THE SHOW.
This isn’t just a physical conversation. Of course we must drive to the audition…but…
We must also position and take our minds to a place to birth and discover new ideas on a regular basis.
We must also position and take our souls to discover a place that is bigger than ourselves.
We must also position and take our hearts to discover a place where gardening can occur…growth and pruning.
Position and location – the prerequisites that lead to discovery.
It’s Monday. How will you position yourself and where will you go with what you do? The markets never come to us. Go.
