“The breakfast of champions is not cereal, it’s the opposition.” – Nick Seitz, golf commentator and author
Ask any successful, wisdom-filled entrepreneur what they fill their metaphorical fueltank with each morning and you’ll get the same answer: anything that contests their goals and has the potential power to thwart their passionate mission. Waking yet again to tireless, cutting-edge competition and volatile market trends, close-minded pessimists and their very own doubtful demons, they choose to sit down and devour the plateful like a steaming stack of flapjacks with a side of crisp bacon. So what about you? Certainly, you can’t ignore, avoid or shoo away the existence of antagonists; nor do you have to be another rat in the rat race, leveraging negativity, dishonesty and manipulation. Oh, but you don’t have to be someone’s dinner either. Perhaps it’s time you pushed aside that depleted duo of Wheaties and wheatgrass (or whiskey for some of you!) and instead extracted the high-octane from such meaty rivals. Choose to tap that energy to maintain honesty, community and compassion in your ambitious pursuits and you’ll find opposition, in its truest nature, undoubtedly drives you to create an even greater champion within you.

“Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.” ~ Howard Aiken, physicist and computing pioneer
A lightbulb flickers on and its monumental “a-ha moment” sparks a Fourth of July display in your mind, lighting a future glistening with influence, income and an influx of opportunities your opponents will soon envy. We’re talking an idea worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, Top Invention of the Decade, or at least a key to the city and a park in your name. And with life-and-death urgency you ready to share it with the world… or at least your nosy neighbor, seeking wonder-filled ooh’s and aah’s. Oh, but then the bulb dims when you realize revealing your “golden idea” to give it a pulse and bring it to the masses one day… means letting the BIG SECRET out! So you cower and cover the brilliance of your brainstorm for fear of another pilfering its power. Sound familiar? The good news is, if it’s not just another regurgitated, so-called revolutionary way to slice bread, the boxed-in thinkers won’t want to touch it with a 10-foot pole. It’s ALL you, baby! The bad news is (as seasoned entrepreneurs will attest)…it’s ONLY you. Like the painstakingly clichéd process of feeding veggies to a defiant kiddo, you’d better ready for a battle with equally the belligerent naysayers. But… if you stay passionate and true to your revelation and its reach, reinforcements will eventually rally your cause and illuminate the path to your success. So, if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves, my friend, go ahead and clear space on the shelves for those awards!

“Never underestimate the power of listening.” – Anonymous
So, you’ve heard that song a million times, tapped your foot to it, even sang along. But one random radio-logged day, your steel-trap mind somehow sifts through the memorized words to unveil eerily profound meaning and magic…and something just shifts. A veritable musical masterpiece colors your eardrums with a delightful enlightenment as the crooner sings directly to an audience of one. At once, all other soundful distraction is eclipsed; your mind’s attention is fully focused; and understanding floods through every ounce of your being. Amazing, you think, as the a-ha’s widen your eyes and lift your heart! All that from just a simple song you’ve heard a million times. Now, just think of all the points and perspectives you may have missed not truly “tuning in” to the sounds that hold much greater importance –like the voice of your loving spouse, hopeful child, overwhelmed business partner, needy friend, or special stranger… but most importantly yourself. Prick your ears to hear the music of life and listen closely to embrace the power in its blessed lyrics whispered just for you.

“Love withers with predictability; its very essence is surprise and amazement.” – Leo F. Buscaglia, psychologist, author
Lasting love ain’t interested in scientific systems, processes of play-by-play, nor sequences of schemed strategies. She ain’t up for pressuring data for deduction and calculation. And above all, l’amour ain’t suited for spreadsheets, where formidable, formulaic boxes limit her possibilities or forecast lofty expectations. Nope, she’s a bit more of a rebel with a gypsy chaser, enthusiastically driven to create adventure for all involved. An insatiable curiosity propels her into life’s nooks and crannies to reveal golden gems that leave her incredulous… yet thirsty for more! Indeed, her daily inspiration is effervescently uplifted by the ebb and flow of spontaneity. Let her reign freely and she will grow to overcome the troubles of time, perhaps even its reality of mortality. When you and she meet again, remember to let her lead and simply enjoy the unmappable journey.
