Experience multiplied by time almost always equals some kind of understanding.
Talk to someone decades ahead of you.
Ask them anything.
Ask them any question.
It’s likely their response will be brief and yet full of flavor and light.
The more one knows the less they typically say.
The opposite of this is true as well.
Contract work is being replaced with connection creation.
Logic is melting into love.
Mathematics is losing press to meaning.
Deals are becoming points of delight.
And the best…
“What’s your poem?” > “What’s your point?”
You won’t believe the name they’re going to have for the most savvy business and thought leader(s) of the future….
Human.
Intentions – They will be your map.
Set your intentions to create and acquire, to give and to receive, and to enjoy and to be. If you’re only intent is to get a job or obtain a college degree, expect frustration when that intention comes to fruition.
Values = They will be your compass.
We all need a North Star….A song to know and claim in the midst of the noise…Mantras to engage when the headwinds hit us. Align these values with the grain of love. This won’t fail you.
Wisdom = She will be your companion.
Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life;
love her—she keeps her eye on you.
Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!
Write this at the top of your list: Get Understanding!
Throw your arms around her—believe me, you won’t regret it;
never let her go—she’ll make your life glorious.
She’ll garland your life with grace,
she’ll festoon your days with beauty. Proverbs 4:6-9
Music is never an accident.
It’s the byproduct of intention(s).
This is what you actually want.
It’s also what we actually need from you.
