Have you ever asked yourself?

“How many of my work days would I want to DVR?”

“Why am I here?”

“What’s my music?”

“What do I hear when I look at the clouds?”

“What do I see when I look out on the ocean?”

“What creates the space for you to pursue your passions and find inspiration?”

I was asked these questions yesterday by a mentor of mine…and the clarity on the other side of these questions was earth-shattering.

R.W. Emerson once said, “The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.”

Before 12/31/12 ask these questions, pause, and stretch for these answers. Rest assured 2013 will welcome with you with a smile and open arms.

Temporary

Temporary…

The challenging ghost of success and the rejoicing angel of failure.

Does Your Music Have a “Why’?

The great pianist Edvard Grieg once remarked on the purpose behind the creative energies of his music saying, “it is to build dwellings for men in which they might feel at home and happy.”

You can keep your cards close to your chest and even hide your thoughts from us, but your music or your noise will always expose your “why”.

This is the question that should find its way to the front of every Monday: “Where’s my ‘why’?”

Motivation

All too often, motivation isn’t sprung until death is on the horizon.

Until the company is about to go under, there’s no motivation for a decrease in spending.

Until the diagnosis is heart failure, there’s no motivation for heart health.

Until there’s 3 hours before the test, there’s no motivation to study.

Until your sales funnel diminishes, there’s no motivation to prospect for new business.

Case in point: don’t let motivation be too little too late.

Lacking in motivation? Talk to your future self.

Building Your Immunities

To conquer fear you must take it on fight, after fight, after fight. Don’t allow it go viral in or around you. Daily wash your hands of it and slowly it will lose its effect on you.

When adversity hits, take it on full speed. Power through. Remember it’s typically a sign from the Muse you’re on the RIGHT path. Preparation is penicillin to adversity.

Careful with ‘yes’. ‘Yes’ to an hour in your inbox leads to and hour on YouTube. 120 minutes gone all because you said ‘yes’. Awareness is the Z-Pak to the ‘Yes’ Virus.

These are costly viruses with one goal: attacking your creativity. And you have no insurance or deductible to meet that will protect you from them.
