Opportunities Multiply

2016 January 7

My wife recently went into the attic of her dad’s garage. She was searching for a specific photograph, and she ended up on an unexpected treasure-hunt of looking through tons of family albums for hours.

When’s the last time you went looking in a closet that you rarely peruse and got lost on a hunt?

The artist’s road is often faced with roads blocks, discouragement, and self doubt; but opportunities are as simple as saying, “yes!”

It’s easy to want to tell the muse, No. It’s too easy to wait for opportunities to come to us.

So let’s consider a quote from the Art of War:

“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”― Sun Tzu

The number one reason to go book a short tour, write a song a week, paint every day and post it to the internet, collaborate with another songwriter, etc. is because by doing stuff, you are going to find more stuff!

Go open the box. Get creating.
