Good Friday

“The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.”

–               Frank Lloyd Wright

For me, Good Friday is tied with Easter Sunday for “most significant day” honors.

Faith and belief are inexorably linked, and completely dependent upon each other.  We have faith in each other.  We believe in ourselves.  These things all tie to our success in our careers.

The kind of Belief I have in mind with today’s DD ties to whatever you believe as it relates to a power far beyond your employer, your leader, or any human entity.  Whatever you believe, believe it without fail.  Believe it with passion.  Believe it to the point that it dominates your very being.

I choose to believe that 2015 years ago, a 30-year-old carpenter’s Belief raised the bar beyond where we can ever imagine.  I believe that 2015 years ago Sunday, He trumped his Friday performance just to make sure that we get it.  I wish we always did.

I’m not suggesting that you should believe what I Believe.  I’m simply suggesting that whatever you believe, if you do so with the goal being to get as close to that carpenter’s level of belief as you can, you needn’t try to make a difference.  You’ll simply make one.

Happy Easter for those of you who celebrate it.
