Making the Record Skip

May 23, 2008 | by brett | Permalink

Our world is tiny.  Myopic.  A speck.  But only when we allow it to be. 

After I wrote this sentence I got a call from Adam, who saw a post of mine on Craigslist that sought out local music to be used in our Pursue the Passion documentary.  The documentary itself is close to completed with an ample supply of music to choose from.  The only reason I sought out more music was to expand my world outside of the daily routine I have been living in. 

Over the course of our ten minute conversation, I found that Adam is a landscaper by day and rock band organizer by night.  He is the poster child of our trademarked Pursue the Passion phrase.   I realized that in the small world I operate in; an office building with a hundred familiar faces, a twenty minute commute over Camelback Mountain, and living with two roommates, one of who has a girlfriend- my world is rejuvenated when learning, hearing, witnessing, or meeting people passionate about their life.  It makes me realize that in the routine, the passion can be muffled.   

The one thing I will do this weekend is make my world larger.  I don’t know if this is through art, opportunities, having a beer at a bar, or entrepreneurial cock-a-ma-mee schemes, but the next three days will be spent making the world bigger.   

The daily M-F routine stymies, but when the record skips, the perspectives that enter put us in a state of growth.

Very well written, and so true. Your world is as big as you allow it to be. Good reminder Brett. It’s kind of like passion, it comes from within as well. I hope your weekend is joyous.
