It could take 1, it could take 500, it could take 10,000

Approximately two years ago, on November 1, 2011, my fingers graced the key board and the mouse clicked ‘publish’ for my first post at LTMPblog.com.

Since then I’ve seen great successes, massive set backs, glorious moments, rough days, holy days, and a mix of almost every human emotion we can experience. I’m sure you share the same story over the last 24 months as well. Nevertheless, every weekday morning, with very few exceptions, I’ve shown up here in the rawest state possible to give some generosity of thought on the pursuit of making music with our lives, families, and businesses.

Today marks my 500th post at LTMPblog.com.

You may have just found these thoughts. If so, welcome. Or you may have been here from the start. If so, thank you.

For me, the most beautiful aspect of this blog is that the original hope is 100% fully intact: that this would be a place we all would – together – be moved, molded, and changed into the musicians we’re all meant to become.

Thank you for walking with me on the path to better, greater, and more meaningful music for our days.

We’re just in the beginning of this symphony that’s unfolding and it could take 1, 500, or 10,000 thoughts for this blog’s mission to be fulfilled.

Whatever the case, I’ll be here.

Wake It Up

That thing inside of you: That passion. That purpose. That hope. That ideal. That pull in your soul.

Wake it up.

It may take a person to awaken this in you. Find them.

It may take a reminder to awaken this in you. Set it.

It may take a book to awaken this in you. Read it.

It may take solitude to awaken this in you. Pursue it.

It may take you to awaken this in you. Find a mirror.

Awake.

Rise.

Shine.

Destiny Via Belief

Your destiny is intertwined with what you believe about yourself, your circumstances, and your purpose.

We don’t believe everything that the world may tell us, but we do believe everything we tell ourselves.

When it comes to your beliefs, you are a far better teacher for yourself than I or anyone else ever could be.

Listen up. Listen in. Live it out.

The Inches In Our Milestones

Obsess over the inches in your life and you’ll love your mileage you’ve covered looking backwards.

Obsess over your milestones in life and your inches will frustrate you, be overlooked, and probably under appreciated.

Aim small. Miss small.

Attraction > Chasing

The business buzz at the moment is all about how to get you, your message, your idea, or your product to go viral.

But why chase what can’t be caught when you can attract a following, that will eventually become contagious, by becoming only what you were meant to become?

Like it or not, we are all magnets attracting those that share in our likeness across all canvases of life. And just because that sounds cliché doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Purpose, experience, meaning, and fulfillment will never happen with you constantly captaining a game of ‘tag, you’re it.’
