Waking Up to the Music That's Inside You

Since his recent passing, many of George Carlin's famous quotations are making there way around the internet. One in particular, has special meaning for those of us who want to stay motivated in the face of adversity: "Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music."

What music are you hearing that no one else can hear? What possibilities do you see that no one else can see? Sing louder and grab onto those possibilities with both hands. Don't let go for anything.

I have a plaque that hangs in my office called "Crisis and Opportunity". It says: Opportunity is always present in the midst of a crisis. The Chinese word for crisis carries two elements: danger and opportunity. No matter the difficulty of the circumstances, no matter how dangerous the situation, at the heart of each crisis lies a tremendous opportunity. Great blessings lie ahead for the one who knows the secret of finding opportunity within each crisis.

Remember George Carlin: "Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music."

Finish this sentence: If I allow myself to hear the music that's deep inside me....
