If that’s good enough…

Put the song first. (Bob Dylan)

That’s how you wind up selling more than forty million albums.  That’s how you win the Nobel Prize for Literature.  That’s how you become a legend who has prevailed for over 50 years.

It’s not about putting you first.  It’s about the priority of your work, your calling, your contributions to the world.  Not your fame or fans or fortune.

There are no guarantees on outcomes, but you will feed your passions, you will find greater meaning in life, you will make a difference in someone’s life – maybe millions of them.

If that’s good enough, put the song first.
