What Is Priceless?
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.
What Will We Master?
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.
Now I Know My ZYX’s
My wife has created the coolest play area for our girls at our home. It screams think big, think differently, think in color, and let your music play.
On one of the walls in this room is a vintage alphabet with each letter individually framed on the wall. While spending time with one of my daughters in this room this weekend, I decided to learn the alphabet backwards.
I’ve attempted this before, but have not had any luck. Nevertheless, this time was different. I had the full picture of the alphabet in front of me.
After 10 minutes of stuttered chants and eyes locked on the wall I could do finally it without a pause or flaw.
We need the full picture don’t we?
Only then can we go from start to finish or from finish to start and never feel like a fish out of water.
