Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
This clip reminds me of how remarkable it can be to weave something you said earlier into something you say at the end.
Whenever i know i’m closing with “the Abe Lincoln story”, i make certain i begin the speech making a fuss out of how close i grew up to Gettysburg.

You are what you eat.
True?
Probably.
Think about your professional development.
Not what’s on your bookshelf, because all of us pad our shelves with great books we’ll never find time to read. Those great books sure look good sitting there, masquerading as part of our knowledge base.
But show me only the books you’ve consumed.
This hints at who you are.
Not a bad place to start.
However.
However, what really tells us who you are (and who i am) are the questions we ask – how much we care about mastery.
How much we care about our art.
Something we could write a book about.
And 99.9% of us will never do it.
What if we did?

Love the outcome?
Too often, we think our finished product is the measure of our worth.

Reliable (aka boring, because of it’s predictability ) versus something that’s not perfect, not reliable? Which would you pick? A reliably consistent speaker who entertains the audience and looks good onstage in their cuff links or pearl necklace? Or would you pick the unpredictable artist who is likely to say things that some might take offense to, or at the very least, listen in disbelief, while others – sitting beside them – have the missing link that launches their transformation?

There is no soul in perfection.
The world is set on fire with grit, courage, art.

Rising from our ashes is our art.
Be that kind of artist leader.
