What if we changed our new year resolutions from numbers and the world of measurement to ideals, hopes, and positive mantras we seek to live out and live through our moments? That’s the discussion LTMP Episode 15.
A wonderful book to journey with here is The Art of Possibility by Benjamin and Rosamund Zander. This book realigns me every time I come back to it. I recommend reading it a couple of times a year…it’s that good.
They carry us.
They build new worlds.
They can oxygenate a suffocating room and they suffocate a room that breathes on hope.
They take us to new places.
They shine the way.
And, sometimes, they’re all we have.
You design and choose them and they will go wherever you send them.
And, in the end, our worlds reflect our words.
So before you say it, type it, text it, or even repeat it…think about what type of world you want to live in.
In pursuit of the all the answers, don’t forget to ask and keep asking the great and big questions.
There’s a shift that’s happening for many that are awaking from their slumber.
And it appears these great and big questions just might be the answers we were always looking for.

Try music instead of math.
If you see the world as a war zone, surrendering will typically create a sense of loss and failure in you. All bets are off when we’re living to avoid defeat and shame will always invite his little sister, misery. Why would you surrender in something you could still jujitsu yourself out of?
However, if you see the world as a symphony, surrendering will create a sense of openness and possibility in you. You’re now surrendering to the flow of what’s good and true and everything here becomes much lighter and much brighter.
Surrender. Step into it don’t fight it.
