Does this look like the face of a man who is unsure of who he is and where he wants to go?
“There are three constants in life… change, choice and principles.”
“If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.”
Stephen Covey ~ 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
David Archuleta is going to be just fine. He is one of the most highly effective persons I’ve encountered and no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.*
Be still your souls. We all knew this road would not be endlessly smooth with no rocks or thorns. We all know or should know by now that he is a renegade who will not allow himself to be molded into a product that is sure to sell at the expense of who he is. In March of 2009, in an article titled “A Growing Force,” I wrote:
“For the true artist, the journey is never easy. It is as complicated as the one who travels it. He must labor for years perfecting his craft, which to his own impossible standards, is never fully realized. The execution of his art is always outdistanced by his vision. This paradox causes any artist worthy of the name to be plagued at times with self doubt and angst. He must, moreover engage in constant battle with forces who would diminish his art, and so diminish him. He must find the courage to be supremely indifferent to the opinions of others. If the existing state of affairs in his chosen field is anathema to who he is as a person, he must reject it and risk being considered uncool. Rather than conform to the status quo, he must, like David Archuleta, be a renegade.”
