Empty the Tank...

To my friends, it's probably monumental to them that I haven't mentioned Bruce Springsteen in one of my posts yet. It would be modest to say that I'm a big fan...and it's only a recently developed fanaticism (a few years), at least for Bruce fans. I've traveled all over the southeast in recent years attending as many concerts as I could (4 on the last tour), meeting people who were attending their 45th show, and sharing the front row with three generations of fans.

My adoration for The Boss prompts many questions: mostly, why so much attention? What is it about him, the E Street Band, and the music that is so special?

Like Chiropractic, the music speaks to my heart, it's about struggle and hope, it's about overcoming fears and rising to greatness, it's about tapping into the genius in all and empowering others to become extraordinary. It's about removing the interference and becoming 100% of who you are.

It's "that special something."

As a performer (if you've had the privilege to see The Boss you completely understand), there is no better concert experience. I can see the eyes rolling and hear the guffaws now...and I get it, you have your favorites as well, but I've never seen energy like this coming off the stage...and it's always a marathon show.,.we're talking 3+ hours every show.

John Stewart summed it best when he introduced Bruce for his induction at The Kennedy Center Honors last year..."whenever I see Bruce Springsteen do anything, he empties the tank...every time..." That's the power he creates on stage, in his music, for me.

So I gotta ask, when was the last time you emptied your tank?

When was the last time you gave everything out of love and ambition and pride and service and humility?

Can you do it today? Please? The power you will create for yourself and those around you will be magnificent. The attraction into your life of the things you want will be effortless.

Go out and empty the tank today, and tomorrow and every day you have after that and watch your life be magical.
