Amplify your work

Archery target
Yesterday while running near a Church Summer camp.

 

Work harder, reach higher, think deeper, and care more than anyone else you work with. Be a category of one.

The goal isn’t to score well on your target. Your goal is to repeatedly hit the bullseye.

Amplify your work.

What’s stopping any of us from doing this?

Turn it up.

We win every time we do this.

Paint, draw, sculpt, photograph, and so on

Montessori Art Festival
We generally think of art as the creation of something visual.

 

Last night’s Montessori School (Toddlers to 8th grade) Art Festival was inspiring. And isn’t that the way we frame up (heuristically?) our definition of art?

Paint, draw, sculpt, photograph, and so on.

Think about what you do for a living 20 to 80+ hours a week.

Do you ever think of yourself as an artist?

And if no, why?

If yes, how hard do you push yourself?
