Vemödalen: The Fear That Everything Has Already Been Done

 

Art is simply caring more about what you do than the others who also do what you do.

Parenting, teaching, healing, farming, constructing, baking, volunteering, cleaning, driving, you name it.

The secret to caring more is having a clear, concise, and compelling reason that drives you.

Knowing what drives you is the secret to art being driven.

Official launch is one week and a day away.

Which makes us curious.

Eights days until retirement and kicking back?

Or until go time? Full steam ahead? Put a dent in the Universe?

In the past few days, people are starting to quietly share how gutsy they think this is.

And don’t quit your day job while you lay your foundation.

Our minds can think of a great diversity of answers, yet there’s one answer, upon hearing it, we all nod, smile, and say, totally.

It’s when someone we know does what they say they’re gonna do, especially the big things that take years (maybe decades) to do and their progress is so slow and unremarkable, we never notice.

We never notice that is, until the day comes when they are done.

Then’s it’s, holy crap, she climbed that mountain.

Went into the day yesterday on a mission – to gently, yet directly, rattle the cage of every person in the audience.

A snippet when it was over…

Her: That was a kick ass presentation.

Him: What?

Her: I’m trying not to be ordinary in describing how much today meant to me.

Him: Smiling, said nothing.

She had learned, and was now practicing, the whole point of the day.

Lead differently.

No bull crap…. bullseye.

How was your day yesterday?

Was it another day of going through the motions?

Was it remarkably cool (in spite of the burdens we all carry)?

How does our day look today?

These are choices we get to think about and strive to achieve.

Seriously.

Every. Single. Day.
