Lucky

Lucky defined:
One who chooses greatness over average, to diligently pursue one’s craft, early to bed early to rise, go-getter, to see business as holy, clarity of vision, one who finishes what they start.

The View at 5:31 P.M.

The world must look different at 5:31 pm (when we head home) than when we found it at 8:00 am (when we arrived) .

I’m not suggesting you stop creating at 5:30 p.m. – I’m asking you give yourself a deadline each day to put a dent in the world.

Beep beep – its 5:31 p.m. – check yourself.

Dream Delivery.

Steve Jobs was a man who saw his dreams, pulled them from the clouds, and put them in our hands.

We all have the same obligation to one another…I to you and you to me.

But we can’t hear what you hear from the clouds. It’s in a language only you can decipher for us.

So look up, listen, reach, grab, and deliver.

Simple truths.

All Saints Day

Yesterday was a beautiful day for me.

I was able to attend a church service in Waco, TX where one of my best friends, Brady Herbert, is a pastor.

At the end of the service he offered a response time for All Saints Day. And being that it had never been explained to me before I didn’t know what to expect.

Brady explained that this was a day where we remembered those that came before us and bestowed to us the faith that we know and pursue.

In remembrance of these people we were asked to come to the front and place a flower in a vase…one for each person you wanted to remember.
The meaning of the flower was two-fold:
1) Our lives our unique, specific, and promote beauty – they are as detailed as the pedals of a rose.
2) This life is fleeting. Don’t waste it. Bloom and then share yourself with the world.
It seems that a successful life, one where the music plays, results in a vase full of flowers.
Share your ideas, hopes, knowledge, and dreams with people – leave them better than you found them. They want to know the message you’ve been sent to give.
It will now be hard for me to ever look at flowers the same.
