Be Legendary!
Below are the words to a song named "Legendary" by the Christian Rock group Skillet. I was working today and listening to music as I always do while I work and this song came on. It reminds me of how important it is to never stop trying to improve.
I remember the first years at PennFleet, it was one obstacle after another. One roadblock after another. One, two, three sleepless nights after another and another. This permit, that permit, OSHA, Township, bank. More forms they needed filled out, another requirement, a reason I needed to tear down everything we had built and start again. The victories were few, but when they came, they built the foundation for what is PennFleet today.
Sometimes running a business, the pressure builds and builds and builds. Of course, the people that can handle pressure under the gun are the ones that will succeed. Most times your employees never know how many irons you have in the fire, they just need your support. And no matter what is going on, you need to give them your support.
I don't use this song to say I think I am legendary, I use this song to motivate myself to be legendary. It really is a conscious choice. Be legendary or just be. You decide.
Oh
(Legendary)
Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
My heart bleeds adrenaline
The fire I breathe is where I live
Say my name, incredible
Say my name, an animal
One life to live
I never give up, I never give in
Some people wanna turn and run (run)
But the strong rise under the gun
Top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
To the top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standin' now (never falling)
Destiny is callin' me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary
Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Legendary
Fly high or will I fall?
Legends made when faith is strong
Say my name, No time to plead
Say my name, I'm conquering
While I'm…
