Where can you build a bridge?
Who needs some dots to be connected?
How can you enlighten us?
These are simple questions with massive implications, should you choose to answer them, for you and your story.
Today, may you move people, things, and ideas to weld them full circle with a fastened sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.
Somewhere in your definition of vocation I hope you see the word ‘middleman.’
Be the bridge. Connect. Let your light shine.
There are few things that are more shared and reciprocated than kindness.
Wear it today.
It fits us all.
…the momentum begins.
When you know ‘why’ you are here, you immediately make movements to find the instruments that will lend themselves to your music.
You’re not here to build a facade and you’re not meant to be a carbon copy of another.
Be the hands, the feet, the eyes, the words, and the soul that only you can be.
Today, may you waltz through these ‘why’s’.
There’s something about work that is central to what we do.
Only recently, has it become – right or wrong – a reflection of who we are. Careful with that. I’m afraid, no I’m happy, that was never the intention.
When you think work, think story. And when you think story, think plot.
There’s a couple of ways to define plot:
1) A small piece of ground, generally used for a specific purpose: a garden plot.
2) To conceive and arrange the action and incidents of something.
Create a holy harmony of these two definitions and there you will have the definition of work. Also known as the intersection of where passion meets purpose and the formula for a good night’s sleep. Work is a purposeful garden.
Lastly, there’s a another way to approach the concept of work and that’s through the lens of the protagonist. Who is he? He’s the character in a story that knows what he wants and overcomes conflict to get it. He is the guy plotting his way towards a series of finish lines and victories that his muse has whispered.
It’s work being the protagonist isn’t it?
If you’re looking for poetry, have you accepted your role as a poet?
If so, then make a poetic move.
If you’re wanting the fulfillment of completed art, are you ok with being an artist?
If so, then make an artistic move.
If you’re after making music, have you fallen in love with an instrument (or two) (or three)?
If so, then make a move towards a vow to such an instrument.
Our desires create roles that must create movements in-lieu of the duty, obligation, and responsibility the desire demands.
In other words, “Nothing happens until something moves.” Albert Einstein
