Is the outcome keeping you from during creative work? Is the outcome keeping you from improving the lives of others? Is the outcome causing you to cross the street when you see someone in need? What is the outcome your seeking today? More applause, more pats on the back, more money, more likes, more knowledge? Maybe today is the day you should show up, face the resistance, face your doubts, face your fears, and do work that matters regardless of the outcome.

This morning I made an ham, egg, and cheese breakfast pizza on tortilla shell. I started to look for recipes, but then the thought came, why? There’s only three ingredients! You won’t know unless you try! Then I realized that the outcome is not as important as the trying.

In my opinion airplane’s are still the most marvelous piece of technology ever invented. Modern day technology has taken these mechanical birds to a whole new level. While there are many types of planes from small to commercial jetliners, they all require the same technology to fly. They have to overcome wind, resistance, drag, etc. in order to lift. Planes were designed to fly and not be grounded. We as Humans have to overcome the resistance that seeks to keep us grounded as well. Fear, doubt, worry, and so many others things beyond our control keeps can us from reaching our true potential. Will you be an overcomer today?

Who’s my neighbor? Everyone you come in contact with. How will they be treated today?

A lot of people show up for the paycheck and not for the impact.

“Welcome back!” what’s going on? Made any good art today? Over come the resistance today? Did something ship from your port today? Or was it the same old day, just waking up and hoping for the best.

What will your work of art look like? Will it be just luck, showing up at the right time, in the right place, with the right opportunity? Or will it consists of hard work, placed in the world everyday with no guarantee of the outcome?

Are you embracing new possibilities? It’s a new day, a new play in your playbook of life will you run it? Will you move forward with it? Are you afraid it my not be successful? There’s only one way to find out, run the play.

Resistance comes in many forms and fashions. Resistance will come as an early morning riser or a late night pressure. We all have to face it, but the question is what will you do with it? Will you take a stand and face it, by showing up and during your work regardless how you feel? Or will you wallow in self pity, doubt, fear, and worry, so that nothing gets done. The choice is yours.

Disclaimer: life is not perfect, you won’t always get what you want, you might have to start over, you might have to say no, you might have to cry heavily, you might have to acknowledge you are wrong, you might have to keep quite when you are right, you might have to accept that it’s time to move on, you might have to learn to stay put, you might have to love when it’s hard, you might have to give when you don’t have. The bottom line is; life is not perfect, and neither are we.
