Day 15,770 of the Journey...
Getting to the Good Part...
Okay ..."so how many licks does it take to get to the center of a ?"...I am sure I am dating myself by breaking out the Tootsie Roll Pop Owl...smile if you remember these commercials. Smile wider if you ever counted how many licks it took you to get to the good part...the center.
Everyday I awake I am looking to get to the good part (that bubble gum center :) or win the "Lotto" :). Either way the end of the journey is the destination. Inside destination is destined and destiny.
What is my destiny ? What am I destined to do? I just want to get there...because if I get "there" then I am not "here". In my head I just hear "Bill" saying "Die!...I might die in committee !". I believe most of us fear dying in committee...dying while "in progress".
There is physical death and then there is "becoming stuck" aka "my dreams didn't come true" aka "I didn't reach my goals" aka "I coulda been a contender" (in my Marlon Brando voice).
Don't misunderstand me I have heard more than a few times "it's about the journey...not the destination". Well cute, but my feet are tired. Where and what is the last stop of this journey? The frustrating thing is that part of the "journey" is learning and mastering that it is about the JOURNEY.
By the way "frustrating" is an understatement for what learning "that part" is. If you happen to have been out fishing with me when God gave out patience then you know...learning "that part" is actually excruciating. So I wake up everyday trying not to fight or flight, but to float.
While on the journey this is my "float face" complements of Instagram.
Getting to the good part is what it is...a journey. By good part I refer to living our best life by being our best us (that is "best you" and "best me")...everyday. In my head I hear "Everyday ? Are You Kidding?"
What is being our best us ? ...Well that is the Billion Dollar question.
Here's hoping for a down payment on a cool billion...
We are to look in the mirror everyday and know that every dream that is connected to making the world better through our God (Creator and or Universe) given talents some known and others yet to be discovered gets us to the Good Part.
Here are a couple of folks that I journey with...thanks Instagram for the cool effects.
We must remember the Good Part is on the inside and even though it manifests in all types of cuteness and swagger on the outside...the Good Part remains on the inside of all of us...
To the winner may indeed go the spoils...but the race has never been given to the swift nor to the strong but to the ones that endureth to the end..."the journey" aka "the race" is the Good Part.
On Friday I forwarded sizzle reels and treatments (on new projects) in the hope of traction with potential buyers. Today I met with a new collaborator and followed up with a production partner and coalesced a treatment via email with another production partner...with each new day I am on the journey...making my way to the Good Part.
write, produce and direct...
