What’s Close By?

Its been said that you’re a collected image of the 5 people you spend the most time with. So the question is should those relationships come closer or should there be space made for other/better relationships to thrive?

Its been said that the mouth is the overflow of the heart. So the question is what words are being watered in the garden that beats in your chest?

Its been said that attitude is everything. So the question is are you living within attitudes to produce possibility or are you throwing yourself a pity party for one?

3 things to monitor the nearness of: your friends, your words, and your attitudes.

We are a byproduct of our proximity to such things and your humming typically gives us access to the last song you experienced.

The Aim and Hope of Contribution

Contribution is the great precursor to the places, moments, events, feelings, and fulfillment we’re all after.

He occurs before…

the promotion,

success,

having a follower,

having a following,

“thank you”,

“I’ll have another”,

&

“Welcome back”.

Contribution…the holiest pre-party you could ever host.

Better at Smaller

You’ve got the dream of a big business, but are you willing to be a great small business?

You long to make big sales, but are you willing to make small calls and contacts?

You’re after a big symphony, but are you willing to master the small riffs?

The heroes I have with huge lives are masters at all things that are small.

Aim small – miss small.

Innocent

A hero of mine once wrote, “I’d love to start again, go back to innocent – and never leave.” That hero would be David Crowder.

At two years of age, my daughter rarely has a day that wasn’t at some point a blast or leaves her awestruck saying “oh my!”. I’m starting to think that innocence has a lot to do with this.

We finish our days  locked in our inbox instead of gazing at the cosmos and we start our days fogged in the  breaking news in-lieu of being lost in the rays of possibility that the sunrise holds.

Could it be that we know too much and experience too little?

I’ll never forget the day my life changed. Mid February 2006. That was the day I went from “wondering generality to meaningful specific.” It was also the most innocent day of my life.

I try to go back to that day everyday now.

Innocence makes color jump off of the blank canvas and leaves us saying “oh my!”
