Writing today’s post, I feel like I am starting mixed tape for you
(yes, I know I am dating myself)! I was preparing to lead this
weekend’s Strategic Marketing Clinic and looking for music that would inspire me.

I came across John Mayer’s new single Say. The song was featured in The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freedman.

Together song and the movie inspire two great questions:

What do you need to say? and What’s on your Bucket List?

What a wonderful place to start your exploration into the life and career you want to design!

In fact, if I was making a tape for the participants of this weekend’s clinic participants, Say would be the first song!

I hope it inspires you to think about what you need to say!

Take all of your wasted honor.
Every little past frustration.
Take all of your so called problems,
Better put ‘em in quotations.Say what you need to sayWalkin’ like a one man army,
Fightin’ with the shadows in your head.
Livin’ up the same old moment
Knowin’ you’d be better off insteadIf you could only…Say what you need to say

Have no fear for givin’ in.
Have no fear for giving over.

You better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

Even if your hands are shaking,
And your faith is broken.
Even as the eyes are closin’,
Do it with a heart wide open.

Say what you need to say…
