I was riding to a gig this weekend with a friend I haven’t seen since ‘The Vid’ hit.
I remember when we last spoke, he was newly passionate (to say least…) about politics, elections, and conspiracies. All sorts of topics that generally put me to sleep faster than Nyquil.
I’m proud he’s found something he likes but he keeps trying to convince me to drink his kool-aid but I’m not buying. As we’re talking a white car drifts drifting into our lane.
Is this guy texting? Can he read lips and is just as annoyed with my friend as I am?
Is my buddy so enthralled in our conversation that he’s missing the fact that we’re about to be creamed by a Honda?
I’m a patient guy but I had something I was ready to tell my friend. It’s the same thing that I was ready to tell the driver of the white Honda…
STAY.
IN.
YO.
LANE.
And truthfully another word that starts with ‘f’ and rhythms with mother trucker.
But you wanna know something interesting? I’d say the same thing to you.
STAY.
IN.
YO.
LANE.
There’s so much going in the world. War. Democrats Republicans. Animals being abandoned and euthanized everyday. People are starving and have no access to clean water. The list is endless.
How can you cope with it all?
By staying, in, yo, lane. Focus primarily on doing what you are called to do.
I’m called to do art. I’m called to help people follow their entrepreneurial passion. I’m called to be a father to my kids and a husband.
If I’m on Facebook every hour talking about how cool it would be it if someone would snuff Putin or who’s fault inflation is, I couldn’t play my game at the highest level. So I…
STAY.
IN.
MY.
LANE.
If you want to support the Ukraine by donating money or volunteering at an animal shelter or something like that, great. I’m all for it. But remember Stephen Covey’s great advice. I think I got it from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book.
The most important thing is keeping the most important thing the most important thing.
To help you with your most important thing I’ll be unveiling my next course at the end of this week.
