Disruption anywhere: Have passion and be an artist.

Some people I know would laugh at the fact that I put be an artist in my title.  Well, I don't mean artist in the traditional sense, I mean be an artist in the sense that you create, please and delight in your work.  It could mean being creative in you powerpoint delivery or in finding solutions to your coding.  Anything can be creative and artistic.  Hell they don't call them con artists for nothing! 
Take whatever artistic gift you have and apply it to your work with passion!  If you are creative in disagreeing with your boss and have the vision and creativity to move them into your way of thinking, then hell you've got to argue with ever decision there is.
In the last few years I have experienced this sort of epiphany.  I didn't have a "career" or a real path but through my natural tendancy towards skepticism and restlessness I have made myself into an intregal part of a team. I urge everyone to follow your passions and double down on what you are good at.
Happily disrupt the status quo.

Eve of the greatest day of the year.

So tomorrow the first games of spring training start. Its the beginning of 7 months of baseball.  Nothing could make me happier in the world. We've got all the stories of players being in the best shape of their lives and rookies getting their shot.  It's just the renewal of the rights of baseball. 

Every year in November I get depressed when baseball ends and the days get shorter and ever spring I bouce back with players.
Today I salute my fellow baseball nerds - we made it!  We made it through another winter.  Thank God, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. 

Oh and thank the MLB Network.
