POP QUIZ! There you are playing your guitar (like you do) and in walks Carlos Santana. Do you:
A. want to play better
B. the same, or
C. become complacent with playing worse?
And, SCENE! It’s you, a basketball, and an open net. You’re shooting jumpers for fun and a candy red Ferrari Testarossa pulls up. “No way!” (Yes, way.) It’s his “airness,” Michael Jordan. Same question. Do you want to perform better? The same? Worse?
I recently heard a story about a famous singer in the studio tasked with singing a duet with the King of Pop. She described the obvious effect that Michael Jackson had on everyone who worked with him. They, of course, all unanimously wanted to level up in his presence.
The reason for the examples above is simple. If there ever is a question about whether or not you should shine, my god, you know the answer. You becoming great is important. It’s not just important for you, but to others, as well.
Shine begets more shine. Don’t forget that.
