or five minutes to deliver an act of generosity that changes everything
"You rock
This is deceptive.
You don't rock all the time. No one does. No one is a rock star, superstar, world-changing artist all the time. In fact, it's a self-defeating goal. You can't do it.
No, but you might rock five minutes a day.
Five minutes to write a blog post that changes everything, or five minutes to deliver an act of generosity that changes someone. Five minutes to invent a great new feature, or five minutes to teach a groundbreaking skill in a way that no one ever thought of before. Five minutes to tell the truth (or hear the truth).
Five minutes a day you might do exceptional work, remarkable work, work that matters..."
Seth Godin
[note to self: five minutes a day seems so do-able, doesn't it? and then there are the days we're able to accomplish even more than five minutes of being a rock star; it all adds up. every little five minutes of effecting change seems like a good thing right now]

take the initiative.
"I've never met someone who had no art in them, though it's buried sometimes. Markets are crying out. We need you to stand up and be remarkable. Be human. Contribute. Interact. Take the risk that you might make someone upset with your initiative, innovation, and insight -- it turns out that you'll probably delight them instead."
