Share

One of the bedrock rules of kindergarten is back: share.

Your social media platform will not succeed without sharing.

Your mentorship with a young lad is contingent on the sharing of your hard knock knowledge.

Your business will thrive with the information it shares.

Share. Then share some more.

Rest assured, you will get more than you give.

Alas, in this brave new world you are what you share.

3

What if you committed to doing/accomplishing 3 big things today?

This could include: making the hard call, apologizing, overcoming a fear, offering to serve, starting a blog, buying the domain for your idea, etc.

What if?

And what if you shared your big 3 someone? What if you had accountability?

What if you repeated this daily? Even on days off. Big 3 doesn’t always have to mean business.

What if?

I bet 30 days from now, after you’ve made 90 big leaps in just 720 hours, you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Vamonos.

Success Defined (Pinpointed)

 “The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus … By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be.”  Jean-Jacques Nattiez

Making music, for purposes of this blog, is a metaphor for success. It is great news that music can’t be defined. No one, wants someone outside of them defining what success looks like for them. But it can be pinpointed.

Something inside of us is stirred when communication, instrumentation, rhythmic togetherness, originality, improvisation, passionate energy, and a message of hope connects and combines simultaneously.

Success, Letting The (your) Music Play, is that stir that I speak of.

Atrophy

Atrophy: A wasting away or diminution. Muscle atrophy is a decrease in muscle mass, often due to extended immobility.

Planes diminish in the hanger.

Ships peter out in the harbor.

Use what you’ve got. Fly. Sail.

Never.

Never lose your sense of wonderment.

Never trade great for good enough.

Never overlook the good.

Never look around the bad.

Never pass on the chance to make someone’s day.

Hard as it may be, never fail to finish that thought, that dream, that idea, or that song.

Nevermind is the #1 cause of all dream deaths.
