A Connection Is…

They’re saying we’re in the “Connection Economy” but what do we mean when we say connection?

Most think this means that you, your cause, your idea, or your service grows when your number of followers and ‘likes’ grows.

Let’s call that what it truly is: a popularity contest. You can buy friends, you can buy likes, but can’t buy a connection. It appears that this connection economy is not suggesting, rather it is demanding that we redefine what it means to connect.

I believe a connection is what happens when, because of you, someone is then connected with some thing-person-idea-information that otherwise would have been disconnected had you not been in relationship with that person. We connect when we become the middle man between someone and their enlightenment. A connection is a relationship where the goal is to see, hear, feel, and taste.

Alas, connection is all about bringing more and more value, clearer insight, holy inspiration, and an overall better experience to those we enter into relationship.

People will connect the dots when you shine a light on them.

Shine.

Right > Perfect

You can make a wrong right.

You can’t go back and pre-perfect the wrong that has passed.

We are works in progress, not works in perfection.

Perfection is about punctuation that marks an ending of something. Right is about a progression and continuation of that which is true and noble.

Perfection touts the finish line. Right boasts in the journey.

Doing, building, and pursuing what’s right inches us ever so closer to living a life that can one day look back with the hope and sense of perfection.

Perfect-ion-ism

Perfection robs us. When we fear something won’t be perfect, we stand still…action-less. We’ve been robbed of something when we can’t move towards something we’re supposed to hold.

Perfectionism removes beauty and replaces it with self-fulfilling stipulations that rarely, if ever, are met. Thought: there’s never been a flower that hasn’t known what it’s like to push through dirt.

The best love stories are the imperfect ones and true art allows what you’ve seen to have a voice and accepts that some may consider it to be noise (imperfect) even though you’ve portrayed it as music in the expression.

There is a level above what’s perfect.

And that’s you and your work with soul.

A Genius Is…

…bold.

…aware.

…earnest.

…a spy.

…well versed.

…well read.

…well prepared to hear, see, and feel.

…genuine.

Go to the place where you become the above and there will be your place of genius.

It isn’t forced, faked, or for sale.

The Same Kind of DIfferent

The more I travel and share with people the more often I’m getting asked what to do.

“What should I be doing?” And “What would you do?” are consistently the most often asked questions during our post talk Q & A’s.

Here’s the catch: they haven’t discovered or tapped into their music.

When you can define your why you will have framed the music you will make. Success is your purpose, meaning, and fulfillment….yours. Not the guy next to you – yours.

Some music begins with a small business and then ends with a white picket fence. Some music begins with a non-profit purpose, has a bridge of relationships, and ends with dinner and a movie. Nevertheless, you can’t say it’s this and you can’t say it’s that.

What I’m getting at is only you can define your success. Webster gave us a generic description, but it’s up to you nail it’s definition down for you.

We’re as much different as we are the same.

Whatever definition you arrive at, I do know this – it ends daily with sleeping well.

Goodnight.
