Paralyzed: To make unable to move or act due to:
Give in to just one of these and you run the risk of pulling the pen for the grenade on your thing, idea, service, product, art, or music.
Don’t look backwards and careful with the questions you ask yourself. Sure you can connect the dots looking backwards, but we’re all wanting help connecting the hidden dots of what lies ahead of us.
A brick to be laid…tomorrow it’s a wall.
A dollar to save…tomorrow it’s wealth.
A idea to be learned…tomorrow it’s wisdom.
What small joy will you give up and what small pain will you take on today for massive joy tomorrow?
I’m glad I did > I wish I had.
Something unique happens when you name those things, feelings, thoughts, or ideas that you’re in pursuit of or that haunt you.
For instance, Steven Pressfield calls that nagging voice of distraction and disbelief the “resistance”. Now that you have a name for it and that name discloses what it does, you can now call it out push back against it.
For purposes of this blog, we’ve named the success we are all after as “our music.” By giving success the name music, we’ve opened the idea that success could be a timely collection of multiple factors that occur simultaneously. So we must gather instruments and insure they’re making music and not noise.
In creating names for these ideas and unseen realities, two things happen:
1) For the good things you’re after, now you and your tribe have something to point at.
2) For those things that haunt you, now you can call them out, silence them, and mute their plea. Caution: they hate being named.
