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.

Preparation: TV’s vs. Treadmills

Life doesn’t bring you successful moments. It brings you moments with the opportunity for your successful navigation.

Your role in success is in the preparation.

At some point the moment of inspiration will hit, an opportunity will present itself, or you’ll land on the spot lit stage to experience, perform, or produce something successful.

It’s precisely at that moment we will notice where you, your mind, and your actions have been over time.

We all live in a proverbial gym. Don’t let the tv’s distract you from the treadmill.

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.

A Message from St. Augustine

Good morning, friends. And now a word from one of my heroes, St. Augustine.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains,

at the huge waves of the sea,

at the long courses of the rivers,

at the vast compass of the ocean,

at the circular motions of the stars,

and they pass by themselves without wondering.

You’re dismissed.
