DESCRIPTION

this is a call to action to get $h!t (and work and art) done. change starts in a nanosecond, but to reinforce change it takes repetition of actions. these are the actions I use most. how about you?

let’s start. let’s start. let’s start again. let’s start anew. let’s start with conviction. let’s embrace change. let’s grow cajones and start as fast as we can. let’s start differently. let’s start according to plan. let’s not stop after we start. let’s never stop once we start. let’s start whether it’s raining or it’s infernally hot out. let’s start even if we’re not ready. let’s start because it’s more productive than a plan. let’s smile before we start, and smile after we start and smile because we start. let’s start because it will change us for the better.

let’s compete. let’s compete. let’s compete to win. let’s compete against ourselves. let’s compete to test our mettle. let’s compete to build our character. let’s compete to defeat the bigger, richer, older, more established alternatives to us and our businesses. let’s compete to change the freaking world. we will we will rock you. let’s compete with honor and respect but not to win at all costs. let’s compete to become better. let’s compete to accomplish more. let’s compete, David vs. Goliath, in hand-to-hand combat or in rock, paper scissors. may the better human win. let’s compete because it will change us for the better.

let’s create. let’s create. let’s create something useful. let’s create something weird. let’s create something evocative. let’s create something that makes us cock our head and say “hmm.” let’s create on a dare. let’s create on a whim. let’s create functional. let’s create beautiful. let’s find ways to create something both functional and beautiful. let’s make magic. let’s create a mess, or a ruckus. let’s create the same thing a thousand times over and again, always trying to make it better. let’s create because it will change us for the better.

let’s promote. let’s promote. let’s promote something we’ve created. let’s promote a new way. let’s promote an accomplishment. let’s promote a celebration. let’s promote peace, love and understanding. stop whispering, start shouting. let’s promote that which makes us special. let’s promote that which others find special in us. let’s promote being weird. let’s not promote greed or mean people, or price discounts. let’s promote anything that makes us smile. let’s promote laughter. let’s promote new and improved. let’s promote old but cherished, even if only available for a limited time. let’s promote because it will change us for the better.

let’s work. let’s work. let’s work to build. let’s work to invent. let’s work to express our skills to the world. let’s work to get stronger. let’s work to get smarter. let’s work until there are calluses on our hands or on our brains. let’s work to serve others. let’s work to start a revolution. let’s work so hard that it hurts, then work just a bit longer. let’s work so well that it becomes play. let’s work on things that make a difference, even if we suck at it, because anything worth doing is worth doing badly until you get better at it. let’s work on projects that make us better. let’s work to make progress. let’s work to create change. let’s work because it will change us for the better.
