The First ‘Yes’.

Remember that first day you arrived to work? That day you shot out of bed, saw the world in possibilities, and tuned your heart a frequency of service?

For those that are married, what about your wedding day? That ‘I do’ that day was a promise of ‘yes’.

And for those of us with children, go to the delivery room. Nothing but ‘yes’ happens there.

We constantly must get back to the original day we said ‘yes’.

What you originally wanted hasn’t changed.

When most frustration arrives, you’ve probably allowed yourself to leave the state (or lose sight of) when you made your first commitment to ‘yes’. What has changed is how you see/perceive what you currently have.

There isn’t a better place to look at the finish line than going back to and getting into the state you were in at the starting line.

Monday. ‘Yes’ day.

2 Ways To Win Today in Business

1). Become cheaper.

2). Become more human.

There’s no vulnerability in a race to the bottom. Which is why most choose #1.

Yet vulnerability is the dirt where possibility grows and blooms into stories that get shared, get talked about, and connect us.

Getting What You Didn’t Want.

Whatever you do with your definition of success make sure you define it for yourself.

Don’t have it defined for you.

Own your ambitions.

Don’t borrow them.

Regret has a full stomach and an empty soul.

The Gardener’s Garden

In a presentation not long ago, I posed the question, “How does your garden grow?” This was a metaphorical question posed to engage the audience into truly questioning the root – no pun intended – of what it takes to grow and produce the meaning and purpose we all want out of our lives, relationships, and businesses.

The session concluded with a simple thought….the gardener must garden.

The Gardener’s Garden sparked some more thoughts here.
