Do Try Hard To Fit In…to their music.

Forcing your

self,

way,

sale,

agenda,

or music almost always leads or adds to the noise.

We must gain awareness to this fact: everyone has their own music they’re aiming to make, share, or be a part of.

So the goal unfolding in this new economy we’re all experiencing is not to try and force your music upon another. Rather, it’s to gauge your talents, gifts, and passions (your instruments) and see where they can fit into their music.

Do this and the musician you just contributed to will almost always respond with, “so tell me about your music.”

And once you’ve opened that conversation the rest takes care of itself.

Re___________

So you failed?? With a slight change re-do it. That’s called betterment.

You broke it? Repair it. That’s mending.

You found it broken? Repair it. That’s remedying.

Rewrite.

Replay.

Re-think yesterday and then re-start today.

Reboot.

Recall what it was like to be in their shoes.

We remember those that did and failed, and did and failed, and failed, and failed, and did and re________’d things.

It’s not a question of will you need to re________ something, but how often will you have to and are you willing to re________ it?

The one and done’s are nowhere to be found and your dream is just on the other side the re_______ing of something.

Alas, failure is the romance of success.

How You See

How you see today just may affect the rest of your life.

Most, with foggy eyes, just see a Monday ahead them and have self-diagnosed themselves with a case of the Mondays.

Then there are those today that will truly have the best day of their lives. They will look back and see March 11, 2013 as the day they changed their world, changed another’s world, thought of the million dollar idea, started something, quit something, moved something, created something, or shared something.

Let’s be souls that eagerly await and move into moments that hold this possibility of authoring the best day of our lives.

This thing is happening. This thing is happening right now. Don’t just watch…see where you belong in the music.

Your Hands

…speak on behalf of your leadership.

…give us the best sermons.

…show us your heart.

…shake, poke, and connect better than any social media platform ever will.

…are what we will remember when you’re gone.

Don’t sit on them.

Innocent

A hero of mine once wrote, “I’d love to start again, go back to innocent – and never leave.” That hero would be David Crowder.

At two years of age, my daughter rarely has a day that wasn’t at some point a blast or leaves her awestruck saying “oh my!”. I’m starting to think that innocence has a lot to do with this.

We finish our days  locked in our inbox instead of gazing at the cosmos and we start our days fogged in the  breaking news in-lieu of being lost in the rays of possibility that the sunrise holds.

Could it be that we know too much and experience too little?

I’ll never forget the day my life changed. Mid February 2006. That was the day I went from “wondering generality to meaningful specific.” It was also the most innocent day of my life.

I try to go back to that day everyday now.

Innocence makes color jump off of the blank canvas and leaves us saying “oh my!”
