I don’t drive a nice car. For those of you who have followed my blogging for a long time…yep, it’s still that same car.
My car is completely forgettable, although at times laughable. It’s not desirable (except by me, I love it), and an eye sore even in a Waffle House parking lot.
But all it would take is one little improvement to my car to make it the most desirable machine on the planet, to turn heads, to be the envy of billionaires.
If it did everything it does now…while constantly levitating one inch off the ground.
My car would go from being the Joker to being the Queen. I would be King, obviously.
Suddenly no one would care about the spaceship noise that it makes, because it basically would be a spaceship. Suddenly everyone’s eyes would bypass the scratches in the paint and proclaim it’s beauty.
One inch. That’s it.
My car is forgettable because it does what everyone else’s does, only it’s uglier.
But change one little thing. Change one inch, and it’s a completely different story.
What’s your one inch?
If you’re an artist, I’ll tell you what levitating one inch is: a chorus, a great one.
Maybe your getting uglier, you’re tired, you have some deep scratches, you’ve been around for a while, you pretty much do what everyone else does only it’s forgettable.
A chorus is your one inch of levitation.
Everyone will come watch no matter how battered and beaten you are.
