What got you here today will get you back here tomorrow.
Unless something changes.
Let’s face it. The tomorrow you dream of is rarely a reflection of what you experience today.
Today is about tomorrow.
Get there.
…it’s your fault.
If you’re looking for normal, you’re going to find it.
If you’re looking for extraordinary, you’ll see it everywhere.
Engage and then enjoy.
Participation is the prerequisite to experiencing the things that dazzle us and all of life is simply waiting for us to check in.

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances; — William Shakespeare, As You Like It.
Heavy. True. Worthy of thought and response.
Great players reveal great metaphors.
Living things decompose when idle.
Ships rot in the harbor.
Airplanes rust in the hanger.
We all want something. However, some hope for what they want and some go get it.
Whatever it is that you want, you won’t find it on the couch, in your inbox, at your desk, in your sleep, or thinking about it.
Slap on some swagger, put her in drive, and go get it.
Fulfillment is more about being able to say ‘I went and got it’ than it is ‘now I have it.’
Move. Sail. Fly.
Information and data was once a sacred commodity that only the few could afford access to. It was a stream we could fish in, but now it’s an ocean in which we can only hope to stay afloat.
Now that the information and data is too much to sift through, too thick to read, and changing all too often, it’s one’s recommendation that has now become the gold standard of our research.
Essentially, your sphere of influence now acts as your cup-bearer to the world you metaphorically drink in. In other words, we’ll trust the taste and palate of a friend over Google any day. I don’t see this changing anytime soon.
Think of it this way. When you pour your customer a drink, i.e., serve them – then somewhere down the road you’ve just poured one for one of their friends as well. But by the time the friend is ready to drink, he’ll already have a thumbs up or thumbs down about your style and service from the customer you served today.
Get this and you’ll get a win tomorrow.
