Paid To Think

You know why it’s good to get paid for your thoughts, ideas and actions? Because you have a million a day. Even if you get paid 1 cent per thought, you would still make more than if you got paid $500 an hour for an 8 hour work day.

No wonder why bloggers, writers, artists and creative minds make so much.

Food for thought.

 

Stay Positive & More Thoughts, More Money, More Food (For Thought)

“The World Still Moves On”

It’s a common saying, a statement that gets the average worker to not bring home frustrations and sobs from mistakes that took place during the day. It’s a motivator to those who think that since the world still moves on, that they better move on too. (You caught the post earlier about what happens when you stand still.) But what you may not know, is that the saying is used by the dispensable cog, the mediocre, the “average” Joe, the common worker.

See, a Linchpin, someone who brings the best to their work, brings passion, motivation, self-determination and so much more; when they stop working, when they take a break or leave for the day, the world doesn’t move on. Linchpins make the world stop when they stop being creative. The world can’t function without them doing what they do best.

Sure, the mediocre can move on, but the Linchpin moves up.

People Die Standing Still

You may be on standby, but death isn’t.

Nor are opportunities or priceless moments to demonstrate your talents or your art.

 

If a rock is left in a strong stream of water unmoving, naturally the stream will grind down the rock into a pebble. Ultimately defeated it will either be piled on with more rocks meeting the same fate or get taken by the stream and tossed out.

Like the pebble, standing still in life will lead you to be grinded down to non-existence, except it occurs much quicker. When a person creates a stream of their own success, by starting to move, starting to push, starting to lean forward, their stream continues to gain momentum and power. They (their stream) strong with creativity, toils anything standing still. (you?)

 

Stay Positive & Don’t Stop Improving

The Race Of Creating Value

A person just following orders, just trying to reach the finish line, just trying to complete something, with no intention of creating inexorable value, does a two-step forward, one step back process.

They make progress, with some setbacks and eventually reach the destination but there’s not much value in that.

Every person running a five-mile race gets to the finish line but only a few significant people are the first to reach that destination with even more passion and vigor than when they started. They are the ones to get the audience standing, whistling and applauding until their hands sting. That is value.

 To make anything remarkable, creative and irreplaceable, it’s still a two-step forward, one step back process, there is nothing special to it, there is no natural born talent, they merely have more passion. That’s it. That’s how to create value.

Notice, those who finish last in the race get the same type of applause as the winner because the audience can see the passion burning, the determination to complete the race, the relentless effort that the last place person is putting in. That is value.

Also notice that the audience is going just as crazy over a few runners that are in the middle. The ones clapping for them know how passionate they are about running the five miles. The runners made sure to express their passion, whether they win or lose. That is value.

See, whether you finish first, fiftieth or last, you have the ability to create value. All you need is to declare, bespeak and manifest your passion.

 

Stay Positive & Just Race Passionately

Have You Forgotten

Have you forgotten that you are capable of figuring things out for yourself?

Have you forgotten how easy it is to outlearn and outsmart any competitor or non-believer?

Have you forgotten that you have the power to create, to innovate, to invent something to better the world?

Have you forgotten that you are one of a kind already and you just need to filter it through your work?

Have you forgotten that everything remarkable was a risk?

Have you forgotten that the more risks you take, the easier it gets?

Have you forgotten?
