Leap year meditation

Once in four years, just once, perhaps we could:

Forgive, forget, relax, care, stand out, speak up, contribute, embrace, create, make a ruckus, give credit, skip, smile, speak truth and refuse to compromise—more than we usually do. Pick just one or two and start there.

Hey, it’s just one day.

Careful, though, it might become a habit.

"If I had to sum up one quality that every superstar artist that I’ve known I would say that it is this focused drive on getting their goals. I think that’s more important than talent. I think that the artists that really make it are the ones that passionately want it and don’t get discouraged and walk through any obstacles and brick walls that get put in front of them and keep pushing at it. Because that’s what separates people that are successful. It’s not just limited to artists; it’s limited to anybody that wants to be a success in what they’re doing. They have to be committed to it, passionate about it and willing to do whatever it takes to get themselves to their goals. And that’s the one quality I find in common with all the superstars I’ve known."

There’s nothing wrong with having a plan

Plans are great.

But missions are better. Missions survive when plans fail, and plans almost always fail.

"Real achievement comes from racing ahead when no one else sees a path - and holding back when the rush isn’t going where you want to go. Driving with your eyes on the rear view mirror is exhausting. It’s easier than ever to measure your performance against others, but if it’s not helping you with your mission, stop."
