The Reflections That Lay Over Us Today and Shadow Our Tomorrows

Daily success is about chiseling, refining, and then moving towards incremental change because of the awareness gained in the reflection of what was chiseled and refined.

An artist sees that ‘this’ points to ‘that’, he notices undertones, he sees calm in chaos, he makes note of hints, and he never steps out of his symphonic experience. He knows the music is everywhere with just one price per ticket: attention.

Great days are pushed with whimsical reflection from yesterday and pulled by inspired shadows cast over an unseen tomorrow.

Be pushed and be pulled today. For it is in this balance, this yen and yang, that we arrive at days we can call great.

Yesterday wants to know it was worth it, today wants its fulfillment, and tomorrow needs you to pull back the drapes.

It’s good to be back.

A Message from St. Augustine

Good morning, friends. And now a word from one of my heroes, St. Augustine.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains,

at the huge waves of the sea,

at the long courses of the rivers,

at the vast compass of the ocean,

at the circular motions of the stars,

and they pass by themselves without wondering.

You’re dismissed.

Unheard of. Unseen. Unbelievable.

Leadership is creative innovation that leads to meaningful change.

Dig deep.

Get lost in the stars.

Look inside of yourself and capture your greatness.

Bring us the unheard of and things never seen before that will take us to places we won’t believe.

We’ll come back again and again for such an experience.

Can you say ‘business model’?

May I Join You On Your Journey?

That’s a much more powerful question than “Would you like to join me on my journey?”

Funny things happen when your journey becomes about and for the enrichment of another’s journey. For one, you’re giving and not taking. And most acts of giving our birthed from a heart of service. Secondly, you’re basically asking if you can help them, their purpose, their problem, or their story. We call that hope.

Good business is a romantic way to say this is not about me. I’m pretty certain a great life offers the same aim.

In other words, the joining of other’s journeys is the rewarding journey we’re all looking for.
