Ring. Ring. Ring.
Imagine you’re in the middle of writing your opus; it’s going to change the world – all you have to do is write it.
You’re making progress, slowly and surely, and its going to impact thousands of lives.
Then -
The phone rings, you answer.
You talk with Aunt Linda for 15 minutes about next year’s family reunion in the Poconos – then, you’re back. Creating, producing, and shipping.
It happens again, ring. ring. ring.
It’s Bill, he says you have to know all about an amazing deal –
“Basically, is all equates to a short term high yield opportunity… blah, blah, blah.”
Ok, finally – back again, writing, producing art, in-the-zone.
Once more, it happens, the phone rings – you answer, you talk; except instead of returning to the most important work of your life, it’s time for dinner, picking up the kids, exercise, church, oil-change… life.
This scenario plays out everyday, until finally you’re dead. Your opus was never written, the world remains the same.
Nothing happened.
For most of us, we’re lucky – our phones hardly ever ring; but maybe you receive endless emails, Facebook notifications, twitter replies, and Youtube video responses – they consume us, distract us, and keep us from finishing our opus.
Turn off the computer; keep the phone off the hook, and log-out of Facebook.
Write your opus.
Build your company.
Lose the weight.
Do something that matters.
