When it comes to anything creative I'm pretty much a daredevil. I love the thrill of giving birth to new ideas while breaking down what's required to see the entire project through. I've earned the honor of being the author of six published books. You don't wake up one day and suddenly all the pages are sitting in front of you. The book Blizzard White Canvas/Halloween 78 took 32 years to get published. The original layout of the story came through me while in the eleventh grade. I still have those notebook pages and fear everyday that grows forward because it was all written in pencil. On this podcast we openly speak about how everyone of us were born to be a voice. That doesn't mean you're headed to City Council or heading up the OM position at work. We are the voice of what we believe. For many that's extremely difficult because we're not always on the same page as others. In this game of wanting to feel accepted or a part of something that often requires a lot of sacrifice. Giving up on your dreams and ambitions because it doesn't fit in with what others are trying to accomplish. Being on the Broadcast lecture tour I meet plenty of students who've waited over half their life to be sitting in those seats. I do ask them why it took so long. Their answers are brilliant and on fire with new shapes and shades of ambition. They've made the jump. That 4,000 foot cliff with not a bottom to be found. Too many times we give up on what we were truly called for because the monetary payoff doesn't exist. So we change to a different lane only to spend the rest of our lives wondering what if? The truer gain in your success isn't going to be a paycheck. It's actually discovering fruit on your life vine. Always somewhere in the middle. Never at the end. Because a vine has no end. It's always stretching. Therefore its your continuation and it deserves to be celebrated.
