…and by free, I mean earned.
It’s your humanity that gets shared, gets talked about, sticks with the recipient, and is what you want to see in your rear view mirror.
You’d be surprised what a Super Bowl ad can’t do.
It’s not yesterday. And it’s not tomorrow.
There are some handshakes approaching today. Be there. Be there with them. Lock hands, lock eyes.
There’s a hug you’re to give you in your story today. Give it well. Leave the recipient better than you found them.
Discover something new. Smile in reflection of the newness now known.
Tend your metaphorical gardens of life, relationships, and business. Till the field. Sow some seeds. Pray for rain. Harvest if something’s ripe.
Turn a stranger into a friend.
Breathe.
Laugh. Laugh hard.
See what the sun is touching. See all of it. There’s enough light to not just look, but also see.
And stop and listen to today.
Be still and quiet enough so that you may hear what today is trying to relay your way.
It’s alive. It’s with us. It’s here. It’s now.
Will you join all of the music that is unfolding around you today?
Music is 1% possibility and 99% participation.
Say yes.
You don’t need to look like something. You need to be something. The art of becoming eventually paints itself an identity.
Few things are as indicative of your future as who your friends are.
Dreams are previews.
Warm putter > Hot driver.
Choosing is working.
Choosing to give. Choosing to serve. Choosing to lead.
Begging is not working.
And a beggar can’t be a chooser, right?
Success, music, art, and skill all sow their seeds in the soils of choice.
Many things are out of our control, but not our choices.
Choosing to sow > Begging for rain.
This week, let’s get out of our apps and into our moments. (You know the one’s I’m referring to here, right?)
A day with a destination in pursuit will only go so far with detours and dead ends.
Head up.
Eyes focused.
Hands working.
Soul engaged.
Now we’re getting somewhere.
