Need a Badge?


Need a Badge?

If I gave you a badge, would you go out and conquer the world, or build that company you’ve always dreamed of building.

Would you marry, or go back to school, if you had a badge?

A badge is nothing.  Some call them business cards.  Others think a badge is the way we dress, or our looks.

We don’t need a badge in order to do our significant work.

Sharpen Your Saw


Sharpen Your Saw

Many of us have today as a holiday.  It’s Labor Day.  A perfect day to sharpen our saws. 

Take time to reflect.
Take time to pray.
Take time to think.
Take time to consider life.
Take time to know self.
Take time for self.

Steven Covey said it first – take time to sharpen your saw. 
(7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

Where Is Inspiration?


Where Is Inspiration


Perhaps we’ve mistaken inspiration for persistence.  Perhaps.  As a writer, I love when the ideas fall down on me.  I’m having that at this moment.  We’re headed to Nashville and left Denver an hour ago.  I’ve had a stellar writing moment.  I’ve put six blogs in the bag already. 

That is great.  It’s wonderful.  And I’ve had my moments of dryness, sleepiness, restlessness when trying to write.  And in those moments, I try and be daring, persevere and keep writing.  There have been days when I’ve written two or three passes on an idea, only to discard all of them completely and go in a differently direction.

That, for me is dancing with the daring.  I’ve also written pieces I’ve been afraid of writing.  Strange as that may sound, it is true.  And I have lived to tell about it. 

Perhaps there is a daring opportunity inside of you.  Face it.  Let it out.
