Plan A. Plan Be.

Everyday we graduate.

We graduate from yesterday into today.

We graduate from today into tomorrow.

Here are some notes take with you into each new world the sunrise authors and sunset embraces…

Rather than knowing what you’re going to be against, first find out what you’re going to be for.

You can climb your ladders and mountains of success or simply remember everyday to step into the flow of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, goodness, and self-control. That river will always lead somewhere beautiful. 

Keeping your head down and white knuckling your destiny into a reality is quite popular. But what if joy is the hinge of the doors to our destiny?

It will be much easier to be closed and certain rather than open and curious. You may not always be correct in the eyes of the popular vote, but you will be connected with those you’ve been entrusted and to world at large. 

As you juggle being, doing, and having, keep your eyes on your being. Your hands will then always gratuitously know what they already have and they will always eagerly find something to do.

Our soul and our role(s).

The conversations here revolve around mathematics.

As for our roles, it’s an ever changing discussion on when to add, how to multiply, and what to divide. Learning which one to choose and when to choose it is the art form. 

As for the soul, the discussion must always be about subtraction to remove, undo, and unlearn that which isn’t necessary so that we can enjoy the well which never runs dry.

The map, the model, the mystery, & (somehow) the meaning of it all.

What if the roadmap of relationships was marked by signposts for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? Would you enjoy your travels? Would those you’ve been entrusted with enjoy the journeys you’ve invited them on? 

What if the business model was love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? Would you enjoy that? Would the customer enjoy that? Would that be something worth remarking on or sharing?

What if the tools of life are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control? Would there be a sustainable rhythm to your days? Would being connected trump being correct?

You realize this is available, right?
