Someone called and said, "WHAT YOU UP TO?". I said, "not much just at a Starbucks working on a few projects". They replied, "MAN YOU ARE ALWAYS WORKING, I HOPE THEY PAY YOU ENOUGH." ... I immediately frowned with a reply "A big part of what I do is creative. The creative process needs freedom to practice and freedom to grow. When I am in this zone I don't feel as if I am working at all. I am tuning my craft. DOES AN ARTIST ONLY PAINT when they are paid...? Does a SINGER ONLY SING when there is an audience...? This question to me must stem from the similar mindset of people who quickly ask "WHAT'S THE ROI ON THAT?" To immediately concern yourself with money and concern of what you will GET OUT OF IT. I believe comes from a place of scarcity and will eventually suffocate any flame. Through my life I have always blossomed when lighting my flame of creativity bright and burning the midnight oil, not because I HAVE TO, but because I ENJOY TO. I know that the investment of time in improving what I do, contributing to an amazing cause, and over-delivering is the recipe to greatness. I was first drawn to Brannon BEliso and this amazing group of DISRUPTORS because of the term and show SUCCESS NEVER SLEEPS because immediately I knew that spoke my language. So I hope to encourage you all. If you want to taste the life of freedom, just get completely in the zone. 10X everything you do and live life passionately. Do this, and it's never WORK, it's PURPOSE. P.S.
