How a Start Starts

It begins with a decision.

We must decide to begin, venture out, leave the cave, and start.

A start never starts in a cave of Indecision, and rarely is there something not pulling at us to start towards. The cave is a great place to listen, but some point a decision must be made to leave.

We’ve got some decisions to make don’t we?

We’re after music, after all, and very rarely – maybe never – are things not moving, bending, or stretching to make this music we’re all after.

Listen, decide, let it play.

Listen, decide, let it play.

Listen, decide, let it play.

Getting To Goodness Is Quite Difficult

Business, life, golf – you name it – these are games built around one’s navigation through difficulty and getting to experience that which good.

The Scriptures tell us that difficulty produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

In other words, the one who perseveres is granted the anticipation of goodness (hope).

And hope? Well, it’s one of the few things we know doesn’t disappoint us.

Show me a field without any work and I’ll show you a harvest with no anticipation, eventual disappointment, and missing the theme of goodness.

The Reflections That Lay Over Us Today and Shadow Our Tomorrows

Daily success is about chiseling, refining, and then moving towards incremental change because of the awareness gained in the reflection of what was chiseled and refined.

An artist sees that ‘this’ points to ‘that’, he notices undertones, he sees calm in chaos, he makes note of hints, and he never steps out of his symphonic experience. He knows the music is everywhere with just one price per ticket: attention.

Great days are pushed with whimsical reflection from yesterday and pulled by inspired shadows cast over an unseen tomorrow.

Be pushed and be pulled today. For it is in this balance, this yen and yang, that we arrive at days we can call great.

Yesterday wants to know it was worth it, today wants its fulfillment, and tomorrow needs you to pull back the drapes.

It’s good to be back.

On or Off?

This is a pretty simple gauge to check with our lives.

It’s one or the other.

Are you on or are you off?

We can live…

…on purpose or off purpose.

…on a mission or off our mission.

…on call for inspiration or off call.

Awaken this awareness before you go back to sleep. (That in itself is a worthy daily goal)

We’re live. This is happening. Flip the switch.

Eagerness

I think we procrastinate because we’re afraid to look our finished work in the eyes. In a way, we believe we’re looking at ourselves when we look at the work that is done, and it’s never easy to hear “not good” or not be accepted.

But what if we just had the eagerness for great work that would eventually lead us to great things?

It’s not about what’s created, it’s about the fulfillment found in creativity. That’s what we’re after. I’m convinced an eagerness to simply start things will quiet the voices of fear that fuel our procrastination.

We remember prepping the meal more so than the oven dinging.
