Produce Your Own Glory

One thing I have noticed in my life is that true success happens when you can produce something amazing away from the limelight. Many people want the job before showing the goods. Actually, you have to show the goods before you get the job.

Write the bestseller before the book deal
Write the hit record
Write the script
Produce the idea before it makes millions
Create a masterpiece where you are now
Produce glory with what you have now

Many artists and entrepreneurs produce their initial product away from the spotlight. Without big investors, or backing. They just produce something amazing. And it becomes what it becomes. The way which you live your life demands this. Opportunities to produce glory meet us everyday. We have the ability. It's a matter of allowing glory to happen. It means not reproducing what's been done before. Doing something completely new. Reach inside of you. Find something you've never found before. Do you know that you are an endless wealth of creative energy?

You could live 100 lifetimes and never repeat yourself. It's actually harder to copy others, because our creative spirits don't jump on board. You are operating out of your lower self. Like writing with your non-dominant hand. ANY problem you have can be solved creatively. I don't care what it is.

Glory comes from problems. Look at your problems as opportunities to produce glory. A common problem is a lack of money for many people. Do you know that they are literally a million ways to make the money you to get to the end of the month? If you did them all, would all one million fail? Probably not. Maybe number one wouldn't work. Perhaps two would fall flat. But eventually, one would come through. The law of averages basically guarantees it.

I define glory like this. If God did what you did for a living, what would it look like? Would it have millions of typos? Would it be sloppy and unusable? Or would it be the most amazing thing you have ever seen in your life? I think our mission should be to make things to that level of quality. Making money should not be the primary goal. Yes, I know that you have bills and responsibilities. We all do. But your greatest responsibilities are to God and mankind. We are here to produce glory. Making something that inspires others. You know what makes something good? Someone else wants to cover it. Or make a new version. I notice that people on the Internet make covers of songs. Are these average songs? No, they are the most popular songs out today. Make something that inspires others. That is your purpose.
