If have found the power of one handshake with a stranger, one conversation with a friend, one tough call made, one new idea birthed, one difficult action performed, and one simple day can change your life.
Do you realize how significant today is?
There’s music to be had.
Seize it.

What if some variation of this was inserted into every tube they put a degree in next month across our nation’s universities?
Looking back over the last 2,500 days, I’ve learned a lot since graduation. Often I’ve wished what I’ve learned would have been taught during my college days.
But I’m not so sure it can be taught. It appears it has to be learned.
PS – I just noticed that learned has the word “earned” in it. Looks like there is supposed to be effort and challenge involved in learning these things.
How soon will it be until all of this sets in?
Timing is everything so pray it sets in sooner than later.
Watch how the wave begins at the next baseball game you go to.
It starts with one guy/girl flailing their arms and looking a bit foolish.
Next, some others in his/her section join in.
Eventually, on the other side of the stadium the people start hearing the roar from the wave building steam. They look for it, find it, and point it out to the person next to them…next – their section is catching up and joining the fun.
The wave is the perfect metaphor for your ideas, products, and services…it’s ok to be weird. Get pointed at, be talked about, and build the wave.
Couple thoughts:
I arrived at Baylor University in the academic year of 2001-2002. This was the year the university released it’s somewhat unpopular Vision 2012.
One of the vision goals was to become competitive in all sports. It is now 2012 and this year Baylor University has:
The Scriptures explain “where is no vision the people perish.” And where there is vision, the possibilities are endless.
When you tell the world where you are going somehow it tends to start clearing a way for you.
Vision has quickly become a consistent topic here at LTMPblog.com. I’m constantly reminded I need more of it.
