Similes and Metaphors

What you want is to do and create something fresh, something new, and bring forth to the world something you’ve seen between the lines, that only you can see, and that we need to see. Therein lies a reason to spring out of bed in the morning and an avenue to sleep well at night.

By the very definition of ‘you’ your pursuit should not be to be, become, or produce a simile with your life, brand, and business.

The goal, or better yet, your role, is to be and bring us a metaphor.

Comparing similes and metaphors, it appears a metaphor is the stronger of the two rhetorical analogies to label your days with.

Let’s say this another way, your unlikeness is worth more to us and to yourself than your uniformity is.

This goes for you, your brand, and your music.

Draft Picks

1) Yourself.

2) Progress.

Right?

If YOU’re not on the field, the ball won’t just MOVE itself.

Einstein was here first with this thought. “Nothing happens until something moves.”

Everyday the lottery pick is yours.

And that something Albert was talking about is you.

Build It

You build a brand. You can’t buy it.

You build character. You can’t inherit it.

You build relationships. You don’t click them.

The most important part of the Empire State building, or whatever you’re building, is what you can’t see.

Are You There?

Every segment of your life you can choose or choose not to participate in.

Unfortunately, today, “checking in” somewhere is the easiest way to check out.

What happens when your phone knows your global position, but you don’t?

If you’re there (and if you’re reading this you are there somewhere), wherever ‘there ‘ is, you have a role in the story that’s unfolding.

Awareness is The Great Predecessor of all worthy ideals.

It goes be, do, have. Not have, do, be.
