Key Points to Building a Tower

1. Did you listen to multiple perspectives?
2. Did you use your team talents (one hand per person) to your benefit?
3. Did you build till you fell?
4. Did your team feel supported by you and you by them?

Passions on Paper
For you to reach the passion you desire, the following ideas will come into play.

1. Relationships- building relationships with people who can expand your connectedness and information is critical to your success. Unlike the American myth of “doing it on your own”, we are creatures of connection and do our very best supported by those who care and are willing to walk the journey with us.
2. Knowledge- being able to acquire knowledge about your passion has never been more available than now. Imagine reading a book or article a month for five years. That would be 60 pieces of information to help you clarify what your passion is about and how to engage it. Most people in this world haven’t read 60 books about one topic. You would be more knowledgeable than most of the professionals in your field. What a great way to move into what you love.
3. Teach-ability- while knowledge can increase what you know, it can’t prepare your heart for engaging the people you will be working with. Learn active listening and how to be selfless in your work habits, finding ways to serve and all the while, asking questions for clarity and understanding.
4. Persistence- Until you say that you’re finished, there is always opportunity. Doors to knock on and relationships to build. Just like my friend, Will, who started out by cleaning windows and emptying garbage cans at the recording studio, before he got his foot in the door. There is always a way to persist in what we love. Every “beep” on the maze of life is a learning opportunity to make a better decision next time. Every tower built till it falls teaches us to persist more expertly the next time. So Gear Up And Go For It.
