If you want to fly low under the radar ok; but those days are numbered. Risky is the new safe. I no longer placate Industrial Age tactics, attend worthless meetings or kiss the status quo. I have a new boss and a new mission.
It doesn’t
require drinking the company Kool-Aid, repeating the morning chant or
evaluating myself to give someone the opportunity to critique me or pretend to
have a vested interest over my career! I no longer wear a name tag, answer a
phone with a scripted impersonal message or have to hear “It’s Monday already” or
“Thank God, it’s Friday.”
My weekend never ends and I have the freedom to create my Art day or night. Simply unfathomable thinking for those stuck in the Industrial Age.

I’ve watched people waste their time and life by
showing up. Doing time on a job that no longer inspires while sucking every
last good emotion dry. Somehow, that sounds like an imprisoned life. The only
hope is the next payday, weekend or vacation. I call that existing, not living.
Flying low means you’ll never know your true
capabilities. It ensures you’re stuck repeating the same day as yesterday.
Never knowing the impact you might have made.
Like Zig Ziglar once said: “If you aim
for nothing, you’ll hit it every time.”
Is that why you got out of bed today? Is your
purpose to sleepwalk through life? I don’t think so. We know how easy of a trap
it is to fall into daily. Wake-up!
For 100 years, people have brainwashed us to follow
the system like a herd of sheep. Taught to accept circumstances and notions that
only perpetuates someone else’s gain. The gatekeeper’s tell us what the norm is
and we follow. After all, if you want to stay on the island, they’ve convinced
you to submit your heart, soul and money.
You can alter the flight path. Once you decide to change;
the system will lose interest in you and you in it. The gatekeepers will battle
with you over control and compliance. When you remain strong in the truth and
it decides you can no longer be manipulated, the system will find a way to toss
you aside.
It always does. Domination waits for those begging
to be picked.
When I was laid-off a couple of weeks ago, I knew God
was actually giving me my freedom to be able to do what HE wants me to do. He’s
been preparing me for this time for decades. My “old job” was merely a way to
pay bills and exist.
My new gift is to soar as high as possible in doing
something meaningful that matters!
Until We Meet Again,
