With any steam train, it requires a stoker. Someone who shows up, again and again, who fans the flame, who shovels the coal, who keeps the train moving forward.
A stoker that gives it his all despite the lack of recognition (chances are you didn’t know the person who shovels coal into the engine box is called a stoker). No worries, though. To the stoker, there’s no ego in the coal room.
When you develop your muse, bit by bit, over time, you create remarkable change. You get people where they need to go. You make progress. You create forward movement the same as a stoker.
But, like the stoker, you have to show up, again and again.
Stay Positive & Fuel Your Muse
