The late Jim Rohn once said, “Increase your capacity so that you may hold more of the next experience.” Few words have rattled me like these have.
This is why we read, why we listen, why we look, why we ponder, why we ask, why we observe, and why we touch, why we take notes, why we practice, and why we hone the instruments of our music. They connect the dots we’ve collected thus far to an endless world of ahas tomorrow.
Every moment holds a souvenir. We just need some space to store them.
The more we can hold in the more we can pour out.
Think Christmas Eve night. Like when you were young.
Our lives start to create their own rhythmic and melodious whimsy when we start to design our upcoming days.
When is the last time you got up without the help of an alarm?
Dreaming of what you want to unwrap tomorrow can help here.
…it’s probably easy to not do as well.
We’ve heard an apple a day for so long that it’s become, unfortunately, a humdrum old wives tale.
But what if you swapped out the apple for something else?
A thank you a day.
A no thank you a day.
A walk a day.
A journal entry a day.
A prayer a day.
And so forth.
Success sounds eerily familiar to failure…drip drip.
If you’ve never heard of Ellis Island, historically, it would be worth 5 minutes of Googling.
What if everyday in your mind you got on a boat, sailed to a place with freedom of choice, got off the boat, and went on a journey?
This happens every day.
This is entrepreneurship.
We all should write ‘Ellis Island’ on our hands a reminder of what we’re all trying to do here and who did it before us.
