I heard a conversation about a cooking competition and it inspired me to share a little story about learning to paint our canvas. We all get the opportunity to start with a blank canvas, and it’s up to us what we do with that space. The finished product is what we’re judged by, not where we start.

Do you explore things with genuine curiosity? Do you ask questions, try different ways, challenge the “way it’s always been”? I believe having a genuine curiosity about the world allows you to question things and constantly learn new and different ways of doing things. Be curious.

This last weekend I got to meet a childhood idol of mine, Jim Thome. It got me thinking about the power of heroes. We all have people we look up to growing up. Each person becomes an idol in our lives for various reasons, but they all impact our growth and development and how we choose to pursue things. Now as I am older, I hope to make an impact on someone’s life the way my idols have shaped mine. It’s interesting the power our heroes have on us. We never meet them in most cases, yet their lives impact ours in many ways. How would you feel meeting one of your idols? How would you feel knowing you were someone else’s idol? Keep pursuing greatness, but remember the greater you become, the more people will hope to be you one day.

Is talent a blessing or a curse? Are we helping or hindering our potential by pointing out those who are talented? I believe talent is merely a head start, but without proper guidance and understanding of how to put in work, talent will eventually not be enough. Tune into today’s episode to hear my thoughts on talent and how we can help our young people maximize their talent and potential.

My conversation with Dennis Mellen was one packed with overcoming adversity. In life no matter how hard you try to avoid it, adversity is going to become a part of it. Instead of avoiding it, let’s seek difficult moments that force us to face adversity head on. We will all become stronger for it.

Today’s chalk talk is a new thought I’ve had to have fun and improve communication skills on the teams and in the classroom. If you like this idea please include me in the results of this by emailing me at edgeofgreatnessapparel@gmail.com.

Achieving success on your goals and becoming great in your field isn’t about big efforts done from time to time, but consistent efforts done over time. The person who does tiny consistent effort towards their goal every day will out perform the person who every-now-and-then go all in and hard toward a goal. Find a way to create consistency in your life, make a plan that allows for success. Keep pushing to be great!

There are many times in life where things feel like you’re spinning out of control and there’s nothing you can do to change it. In those moment you need to focus on yourself and how you respond to negative situations and events. Only once you learn to control how you react to the uncontrollable will you begin to feel as if you’re more in control.
