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.

Hoping Your Hope vs. Pursuing Your Hope

You can hope for your hopes and ideals to come to fruition or you can actively engage and pursue them.

One approach works and one simply doesn’t.

If you haven’t arrived at or achieved a hope you’ve been after then you have a question you have to ask yourself. “Have I truly pursued this hope or have I just been crossing my fingers?”

Yes, divinity has a role in the mix and must water the seeds that we hope to harvest, but we also must sow and plant them before the rain is even necessary.

My gut tells me that the unseen forces we live within lean towards and reward the fingers that are not crossed, but the ones that are calloused with dirt under the nails.

It could take 1, it could take 500, it could take 10,000

Approximately two years ago, on November 1, 2011, my fingers graced the key board and the mouse clicked ‘publish’ for my first post at LTMPblog.com.

Since then I’ve seen great successes, massive set backs, glorious moments, rough days, holy days, and a mix of almost every human emotion we can experience. I’m sure you share the same story over the last 24 months as well. Nevertheless, every weekday morning, with very few exceptions, I’ve shown up here in the rawest state possible to give some generosity of thought on the pursuit of making music with our lives, families, and businesses.

Today marks my 500th post at LTMPblog.com.

You may have just found these thoughts. If so, welcome. Or you may have been here from the start. If so, thank you.

For me, the most beautiful aspect of this blog is that the original hope is 100% fully intact: that this would be a place we all would – together – be moved, molded, and changed into the musicians we’re all meant to become.

Thank you for walking with me on the path to better, greater, and more meaningful music for our days.

We’re just in the beginning of this symphony that’s unfolding and it could take 1, 500, or 10,000 thoughts for this blog’s mission to be fulfilled.

Whatever the case, I’ll be here.

LTMP.

Revolutions and the art of gardening

Revolutions follow the law of process and the law of cause and effect.

A heart revolution will start a mind revolution that starts a hands revolution that sparks an action revolution that leads to a change for the better revolution.

If you want a revolution on your hands that will eventually dent the world, it must first start in your chest.

Nevertheless, the act of gardening > knowing how your garden grows.

You say you want a revolution? Think heart, think soil, think gardening, then let the Muse do His thing.

Destiny Via Belief

Your destiny is intertwined with what you believe about yourself, your circumstances, and your purpose.

We don’t believe everything that the world may tell us, but we do believe everything we tell ourselves.

When it comes to your beliefs, you are a far better teacher for yourself than I or anyone else ever could be.

Listen up. Listen in. Live it out.
