Shawn Healey | The Dragon KOI Project Day 10 of 365: CONNECTORS

Last night I talked about inspiration. To be inspired and to give inspiration. Interestingly enough, last night as I was finishing my post I got a call from my friend Thomas McPherson to invite Hayley and I to dinner. We were ready to hunker down and enjoy a Pork Shoulder that had been in the crock pot all day, but instead we turned off the crock pot, dropped these plans and jumped on the opportunity to have dinner with Thomas, his wife Joanna and 10 other people who are all amazing in what they do. Thomas is a massively inspiring person with an equally interesting and exciting life. We'll talk more about that on another day, but what has struck me is his ability to CONNECT people. Not only to just be a CONNECTOR, but to perpetuate these connections by positioning, encouraging and having no limits on what is possible. Putting a group of people together to, as he puts it, have mind sex. Share ideas on how we are going to change the world. I'm fully serious when I say this.

Do you have a Thomas in your life? I'm pretty sure most of us do, but often we play it safe, stay in our comfort zone and just stay home and eat the Pork Shoulder. Taking advantage of opportunity is where much success comes from in this world, but knowing that the opportunity exists comes first. Surround yourself with people who you WANT to be like. People that lift you up, not pull you down. People that inspire. People that have focus forward in a world with unlimited potential. Be this person yourself. Create the energy that can change the world and share it.

Until tomorrow...
