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.
You will be known and remembered by what you master.
And we all will master something.
Unfortunately, it’s easier to master pity parties and gossip than it is something that is truly great.
But you want something great. You are worthy of greatness.
All the research shows there’s 10,000 hours between you and that which you’re going to master.
Don’t look up to find yourself the host of a 600,000 minute pity party.
I will tell you now, no one will RSVP.

Your biggest advantage is in your weirdness…your difference…and not in your similarities with others.
We’ve often discussed here that Customer Care > Competition Concern.
I assure you this is true.
When you’re always looking over your shoulder and concerned with the competition, more often than not, you become what you never wanted to be…more like them.
Here’s the best news of today. There’s something about you, that’s…well…you.
And that’s all you need.
When we arrive at what we saw we can always see further.
I have to think that even atop the mountains we climb, something pulls at us to go climb their neighbor.
Praise be that we don’t have finish lines.
We have journeys that birth journeys and the words etched on the gold found at the end of our rainbows read ‘see. there’s more.’
Denial?
Disbelief?
Doubt?
Distraction?
Walk through one of these and it’s quite hard to get back into the room where you cultivate your dreams.
Why have any plan that distracts from plan ‘A’? You don’t want that temptation and your dreams don’t deserve that either.
When we’re talking about your dreams, an exit strategy is an oxymoron. Nothing more. Nothing less.
