We See Better When You Shine

It’s no longer the corporate race to the top or a discount race to the bottom that wins. Rather, it’s the waltz of connection, the glow of enlightenment, and the rays that shine from swapping the holiest of all commodities – information.

There are no more jobs left. Just the work you were sent here to do.

It’s impossible for your future to look dim if you’re willing to shine in that role.

A protagonist is someone who knows what they want and overcomes conflict to get it.

So shine and #WriteYourStory.

The Library and The Art of Being a Librarian

Education and providing the pathway to learning is now the inception of a sale. Before people buy, click, or swipe they go learn. Which is where you come in.

For your industry, line of work, or art, while Google may provide the answers, we still need you to illuminate, shadow, or frame them for us.

Selling is over.

You must teach.

Which means you must, first, learn. Which means you must study. Which means you must prepare.

The Internet = The Library.

You = The Librarian.

Chip and Putt

No matter your industry, passion, or art there’s probably something that gets most of the attention (the driver), but for those that see how things truly are they know it’s really about something else in the bag.

Every guy wearing a green jacket points the blame at his putter.

I’ve yet to experience a eulogy, acceptance speech, or award ceremony that mentioned Twitter.

Looks like this is becoming a tradition.

2013.

2012.

Keep calm. It’s Masters week.

Know The Preference of the Rules & The Odds Will Be In Your Favor

Discipline prefers someone with a routine. The odds in the game of discipline favor the guy who is constantly cognizant of where the hands are dancing on the clock.

Bravery prefers someone with belief. The odds in the game of bravery favor the faithful followers of their ideals.

Connection prefers congeniality. The odds in the game of connection favor the friendly, selfless, and servant’s heart.

The deck is not as stack against us as the world has taught if you just take time to know what the rules prefer.

The Shade You Are Looking For

Our world is governed by many natural laws, one of those being the Law of Cause and Effect.

If you got to your office this morning, you took the train or drove a car to get there. You didn’t close your eyes and I Dream Of Jeannie yourself there. If you’re having coffee today, either you made it or you went to Starbucks. Coffee can’t just appear in your hands. To read this blog, you either booted up your computer or unlocked your phone and inbox. Nothing just happens.

For every effect there is something that is essential for that effect to be or become a reality.

Thus the conversation of cause and effect is more about necessity than it is anything else.

Looking for shade? Then let’s talk about necessity.

Wherever there is shade, someone or something is going to need to have planted a tree.
