Creativity is the act of making change happen. It’s an inherent human instinct used to solve interesting, difficult, and even wicked problems.

Engaging your creative impulse is how you get from where you are to where you want to be.

Purpose is a posture, a way of being. To apply yourself to any task with purpose, for a purpose, and on purpose is to develop excellence while enhancing others’ lives.

Purpose isn’t inherent in any particular work. It comes from doing the work right in front of you with integrity and intention.

To be creative on purpose is to look at the status quo and say, “This can be better,” and “I can do better,” and then do what needs to be done.

Sure, sometimes beneficial change happens through luck or by accident. But when you lean into your endeavors creative on purpose, you can influence change for the better.

Your life, your work, and your life’s work are all works in progress. Not the work you have to do, work that you get to do.

You get better at these enterprises by engaging with them fully, mindfully, and deliberately. Being creative on purpose allows you to break the status quo and step into possibility with the difference only you can make.

To be creative on purpose is to be a difference-maker. 

What difference are you ready to make? Are you ready to be creative on purpose?

For people like us, it means being someone who’s leaning in and leveling up in endeavors that enhance your life while elevating others’ lives. Making things better. Serving. Doing the work. Living your legacy. Being creative on purpose.

To be a difference-maker is to pursue excellence in yourself and your craft while cultivating the same in others. Developing your potential and delivering on your promise by engaging in meaningful efforts done with and for others.

What does it take to make a difference?

Doing things differently, of course.

What got you where you’re at won’t get you where you want to go. To continue to fly higher in your enterprise requires breaking the status quo created by yesterday’s accomplishment so that you step into tomorrow’s possibility.

Difference-makers seek the edges of what’s now and set their aim on what’s next. They see the silver linings in challenges and find opportunities in every obstacle. All the while keeping in mind what the change they seek to make is for.

To be a difference-maker is to set every goal with intention, every strategy is created with integrity, every tactic is executed with consideration. Outcomes are always uncertain. The quality of your effort is the reward.

Making a difference isn’t for everybody. But people like us can’t imagine living and working any other way.

Ready to make a difference? Be a difference-maker. Define your next endeavor, and let’s go!

An endeavor is more than a hobby. It's work done out loud and in public.

Your endeavor might be a passion project or side hustle. It may be a personal or professional enterprise. It can be your occupation or responsibility, but your endeavor isn't necessarily summed up by your job or role.

What's your endeavor for?

You enhance your life most through work that elevates others. Your endeavor is a vehicle for living your legacy. Legacy isn't what you leave behind. It's the difference you're making now.

We all have responsibilities and obligations that require us to do work we have to do. An endeavor is the work you get to do. It's the work you're meant to do now, work that develops your potential while enhancing the lives of others.

So, what's your endeavor?

Your endeavor isn't the work you were born to do. There's no single purpose any of us are born to do. Purpose (and passion) come from applying yourself to the work that's right in front of you with care and consideration. Your endeavor is how you create the difference only you can make.

This work is at the intersection of who you are, what you're good at, and where you belong. Find the people who share your values and need your talents to enhance their lives, and you have found your next endeavor.

Are you ready to live your legacy? Discover, develop, and deliver an endeavor that makes a difference.

When things work out how you planned, it’s easy to assume it’s due to your genius and good planning. When things don’t, it’s easy to blame others or fate for conspiring against you.

The truth is, there are never guaranteed outcomes.

This is especially true for creative approaches to embracing uncertainty and navigating adversity in meaningful work. There’s simply too much beyond your control.

Significance and purpose are found through worthwhile efforts, not in their outcomes.

Do your work on purpose, with intention, and for a reason.

You begin to live your legacy by letting go of old stories about yourself that no longer serve you. This opens the door for better effort and fulfillment.

To live your legacy is to accept what is and set aspirations for what’s next. Acceptance of what’s now isn’t passive resignation. Life doesn’t happen to you. Life happens through you.

Your only responsibility is to put forth your best effort.

Legacy isn’t the money and monuments you leave behind. Legacy is living fully and well, no matter what fate delivers.

Legacy is the difference you make now. It’s who you are and what you do to make things better today.

That’s what it means to live your legacy. This is on offer if you lean in and level up in the endeavor you’re meant for now.

Are you ready to get going with the difference only you can make and start living your legacy? Let’s go.
