It’s really hard to have the magic with a group of people…a band, a team, a group vacation.
Or better said, the magic is elusive.
It’s rare. It doesn’t have an equation. It has everything to do with chemistry and yet makes absolutely no sense.
BUT, when you have it, the next hard thing is to admit that you have it. That you have something extra special. Something that many others want but you have. It’s hard to admit it because making that concession to yourself sounds arrogant and self-important.
It’s only when you admit it to yourself that you can take the next step…which is to take care of it.
And by ‘taking care of it’ I don’t mean being careful with it. You take care of magic by sharing it and growing it.
You share it by letting others experience the power and magic and rarity of it.
You grow it by growing as individuals, all the while bringing that growth into the special group and then growing together as a group.
Inevitably there is an arc to how the magic is perceived in the public eye and varied levels of success over the years. But those people, that magic, that force, that extra special thing that happens when those people get together…that stays.
It is a gift.
If you have it, embrace it. Take care of it, share it.
