…it’s your fault.
If you’re looking for normal, you’re going to find it.
If you’re looking for extraordinary, you’ll see it everywhere.
Engage and then enjoy.
Participation is the prerequisite to experiencing the things that dazzle us and all of life is simply waiting for us to check in.

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances; — William Shakespeare, As You Like It.
Heavy. True. Worthy of thought and response.
Great players reveal great metaphors.
Living things decompose when idle.
Ships rot in the harbor.
Airplanes rust in the hanger.
We all want something. However, some hope for what they want and some go get it.
Whatever it is that you want, you won’t find it on the couch, in your inbox, at your desk, in your sleep, or thinking about it.
Slap on some swagger, put her in drive, and go get it.
Fulfillment is more about being able to say ‘I went and got it’ than it is ‘now I have it.’
Move. Sail. Fly.
Fewer buttons.
Cleaner lines.
Losing one’s scarcity mentality.
Speed.
A willingness to accept being wrong if it get’s us one step closer to getting it right.
Simplicity.
Niches.
Authenticity.
Belonging and providing a place to belong.
Less noise. More music.
This is the rhythm and rhyme of the music we must make tomorrow.
It’s hard to opt- in to an opportunity if you can’t see it through the smoke of distraction.
As you clear the smoke your visibility for opportunity multiplies tenfold.
Michelangelo had to see the angel in the marble before he could carve to set him free.
We’re surrounded by such metaphorical angels. They’re waiving at us too and yearning to be freed.
But as long as there is smoke, we’ll never notice their waive.
Fewer options for distraction lead to more opportunities for opportunity.
Clear the smoke. Opt-in. Set your angels free.
