We can become more present.
We can practice more patience.
We can listen without an agenda.
We can love deeper and wider.
We can put more creativity into the world.
We can be transformed.
We can accept responsibility.
We can do this.
We can do better.

Enjoy and remember to share this with those you love and lead!
It’s both.
There’s probably no other art – yes, art – more significant today to your awareness and liveliness than the art of being still. Silence screams and so we tend to avoid it. I encourage you to lean in.
And there’s nothing harder to overcome than the paralysis of overthinking and over-worrying that keeps us from moving towards our truest selves and highest calling.
Here’s the catch…
Before you move, be still. And when you’re still, dwell on what moves you.
…great question to be the air in your life’s sails.
Most won’t scurry up the bravery to even ask a question big enough to move them across their seas. But that’s not their fault. More than likely the guy or gal before them didn’t ask either and we won’t ask what we aren’t shown to ask.
This is your friendly reminder to ask.
For me, this is what happens for me when I ask “What is the music?”. The sails pop full, cup the wind, and I’m off into the horizon of whimsy and mystery.
If I’m ever able to give what I believe to have found is the full answer to the question above, I promise I’ll be off to the a new question.
As for you, keep asking until your boat sails without your rowing.
And if you’re boat is sailing, don’t lose the wonder of where the wind may be blowing you.
In a world of scarcity we count things.
In a world of abundance we enjoy things.
It’s a choice to delightfully have your fill or pessimistically never have enough.
