Without a beginning you will never find yourself at a happy ending.
Starting is uncomfortable, but so is never getting to the end goal.
So whatever your goal is – start it. Start it to finish it.
And if you don’t finish it, ask yourself if you ever really started it in the first place.
We think we follow finishers. In reality, we follow starters that finished something.
There is no ‘happily ever after’ without a ‘once upon a time’.
This is the melody of Monday.
What will you choose to pursue today?
Will you work or wait?
Will you love or or let down?
Will you do the dream or die to the dream?
Will you give it all or give up?
Your music – your success – is your responsibility. And responsibility is either chosen or neglected.
Don’t covet.
Don’t blame.
This thing is on you and your Muse.
The more the world spins the more we’re finding it belongs not to the ones with all the right answers, but those curious enough to ask what they hope are the right questions and brave enough to ask the wrong ones that may be wrong.
Leadership was once show and tell, but has now morphed into ask and listen.
…under promises and over performs.
…gets you by but doesn’t fill you up.
…isn’t noticed.
…isn’t shared.
…isn’t talked about.
…isn’t you.
Whatever your answer is, therein lies what must be the pursuit of your days, life, family, and business.
I’ve chosen three priceless pursuits…experience, meaning, and fulfillment.
Which then leads to another question: What’s the cost in not pursuing such things?
I’m afraid none of us have deep enough pockets to answer that question.
