Great things
You've probably heard me say this before.
"Good things happen over time. Great things happen all at once."
I've been having trouble sleeping, for the basic fact that great things are happening to me right now -- all at once. I'm realizing that when those great things do hit your life, the biggest test and challenge is being able to handle it all.
How am I doing so far? Fortunately there is no measuring stick to tell me. And if there was, I want to say that I could be doing better. I give myself another two weeks to finally adjust, before something else happens causing me to once again readjust. Or maybe I should accept the fact that you don't necessarily have to have stability to feel stable. Okay.. totally not making sense. But you get it right?
Case in point ...
I'm flowing from one project to the next, one task to the next -- with no starting point in mind, no end point in mind -- the only thing in mind is the fact that it's on my to do list and I'm supposed to get it done. Not much time to ponder, not much time to analyze, not much to think twice about whether or not the task you originally put on your to do list is going to work or not --- and very little time to look at a project, try to understand what your gut tells you and cut if off the list before it potentially grows into a major disaster.
No stability but I feel stable.
Maybe because I know that despite my mind flowing from one thing to the next --- it feels quite nice knowing that it's just getting done. But you see -- I use the word "flowing" because that's exactly how it feels. It's flowing and it doesn't feel stressful, doesn't feel like a headache --- although I feel quite tired ---
I feel ......
great.
It feels great to drive by a "For Lease" sign and stare at the property trying to decide if that's going to be your company's home, without freaking out or doubting the ability to do so.
It feels great to wake up at 6am, jump into a flooded inbox of e-mails, answer a whole bunch of calls, stare at contracts, delete/add dates to your touring calendar, tweet about artist gigs, watch new music videos, send sales kits ---
all in the name of a bunch of very talented artists.
And then the best parts of the day?
The normal regular day banter of these talented gifted kids I work with.
Listening to your artist talk about longboarding.
Looking at the millions of food pictures posted by your artist.
Listening to an artist tell you their highlights of their day which could be as exciting as going to the store, and then their lows of their day ---
And then listening to an artist tell you about their dreams and their aspirations -- I become even more convinced that my own dreams really are all about making theirs happen.
It feels great .... just sitting here wondering why I ever let an artist put a sticker of an axe on my phone...
It really is great.
Thank you Creator.
