Labor of love…

Hard opus you can sustain while you perspire; hard labor you’re gonna disdain as you tire. Fact. I remind my family, friends, and clients of this truth daily. Broken record I am…

Opus, remember, is your labor of love. You’ll know you’re in yours when you wake up before your alarm and you’re NOT a morning person. You’ll know you’re in yours when you lose track of time in the afternoon and darkness arrives way too early. You’ll know it by simply paying attention to your energy level. Fact. While I’m flowing, here’s another fact from Mr. Obvious.

Life is hard.

In fact, life can be acutely painful and exhausting. Life is one, large, complex,energy management problem. Energy is a depleting resource in the natural world. Yes, someday we’re all gonna run out of gas – literally and figuratively. He who has the most toys does not win. He who has the most gas does. Your life is all about your energy. Are you still there? Are you with me? Are you getting this? This, is some good stuff if you’re paying attention. If you want to burn more effectively, so to speak, you gotta slow down, first. Funny, the world tells you to speed up.

Excellence begins when we slow down, gain clarity within, and begin to run our course according to our plan. Running our opus gives us gas. You know what I’m trying to say. Running your opus gives you energy. Make sense? Don’t simply believe me. Study history and you’ll see. Hard opus’ the ONE you want. And, one more thing. You’ll really know you’re in it when you feel your facee creased by a Duchenne smile while you perspire. I’m already laughing at just the thought of you and all your gas.

Fm, baby. FM…
