Artful verbs
Artful verbs.
What?
Your career. What you do. Verbs create art.
Wishing and hoping, waiting and doing nothing, these are the things that destroy (your) art.
Action builds the artist.
The artist builds the art.
Live like you mean it. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Public thinking
Writing prolifically on a personal level affords the writer a gracious, and powerful, gift of publicly “thinking out loud”.
To say things publicly requires a conviction and a certainty that private, invisible thinking cannot, ever, compete with.
Once you reach a certain distance on a journey you shouldn’t even be on, you start to find deeply creative ways to get off this nonsensical path and back to a peaceful, everyday normality.
(Sure, you’ll still have to deal with your hell that no one knows about. Everyone does. It’s the great equalizer.)
But what you discover about your personal leadership is this: adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it.

Quantity or quality.
Commodity or scarcity?
Churn and burn or loyalty?
Satisfactory or remarkable?
Plain vanilla or rainbow?
As CEO of You, Inc, these are just some of your important decisions.

Just wake up and paint
Wake up, and warm up, to paint. Painting is a metaphor for your work being art.
Even if you are an elementary school teacher, teach as Michelangelo painted.
