Chances To Connect

If you are looking for chances to connect you will find them all over the place.

You’ll probably have to go first. It might be a little weird. It will be scary. You might not get the response you’re hoping for. You might over share. You might ask the wrong question. Your effort might not get reciprocated.

But it beats the alternative…

If you’re not looking for chances to connect, the depth of your relationships and your relational maturity are are the mercy of others initiative…and your indifference.

The Good Lawyer

Getting a good lawyer doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get a great deal…it means you’ll know the deal you’re signing.

»» The company you’re signing with always has a recommendation for a good lawyer…don’t take it.

Creative Running

There’s no creative running in the Olympics. No style points. No bonus for running the race in an interesting way.

The only thing that matters is how fast you get from here to there.

It might be the most pure sport.

Especially a sprint like the 100 meters.

The clarity is so magnetic. A definite start. A definite finish. And clarity of what goes in between.

Charging For Easy

You start out not good at the thing.

The process of getting good is hard…but after that, the thing is much easier.

You don’t have to give away the thing you’re good at just because it’s easy for you now.

Rather, you charge a price (in part) because it’s hard to make it easy.

Who Do You Want For The Job?

You can probably find someone to do the job, play the parts, wear the uniform, show up mostly on time, and even smile now and then.

But someone who can do the job AND CARES about the job…that’s a lot harder to find. And because it’s harder to find, it might not seem worth it to even look. Because even if you do the difficult looking, you may not find.

Finding someone to simply do the job is easy and passable. And takes way less of your time.

So you have to make a choice about what you want.

Sounding Better

Doing a cover of Blackbird or Hallelujah or Amazing Grace…most people sound pretty legit. They’re cheap covers because they’re some of the greatest songs of all time. Everyone sounds good.

You sound better when you’re playing better material.

Steven Tyler and Adele and a few others sound great no matter what they’re singing. But for the rest of us, sure, we can work to sound better…but what we really need is better material.
