The A-Z Manifesto.

Ask often.

Be yourself.

Curate daily.

Develop.

Engage.

Feel.

Grow.

Heal what needs healing.

Investigate where you’re curious.

Joy-seek.

Know your values and ask them to lead you.

Love. And when it doesn’t work, love again. And again.

Make music.

‘No’ changes everything.

Order. Disorder. Reorder.

Pause by orchids. Practice silence. Plow your field.

Questions are the greatest answers.

Responding > Reacting.

Simple is luxurious.

Take a sabbath.

Uncertainty tells a better story than certainty.

Value people.

Wholeness won’t happen without you gathering the pieces.

X marks the spot that’s called your soul. Don’t forget about X.

‘Yes’ is a gift you get to give. And you only have so many you can give.

Zeal + Humility + Humanity multiplied over time = a story worth repeating.

Episode 32: Holstee Co-Founder Mike Radparvar

The recession hit and Mike Radparvar decided with his brother and a friend to start something new. That something new would be a New York based company they would call Holstee. But more than just create a company that would create a living for these entrepreneurs, they wanted to curate and stand for something that would help them facilitate the making of a life worth living. That’s when they wrote the Holstee Manifesto and one hundred million clicks later, they are still trying to find the words for what they have on their hands. Holstee now has inspired millions across the globe and offers an incredible monthly subscription that provides a space for subscribers to reflect on what matters the most and explores one mindful theme each month through art, words, and action.

Here and Now.

Mystery is not the absence of meaning, but the presence of more meaning than we can comprehend. Eugene Peterson

Wonder and awe is typically found in our own front or backyards. You realize that’s what we truly want, right? More than retirement, more than five-star hotels, more than fame, more than a following, and more than whatever you have currently prescribed as your life’s Z-Pak. We want to experience our days wide-eyed and wowed at the beautifully webbing and interconnectedness of it all.

And you may not even need to go that far. Chances are such wonder and meaning is probably just as thick in the room or situation you find yourself in.

If, and only if, you are with it.

If our presence is a choice, so is our meaning.

Delight.

You can read all the cook books, buy the finest ingredients, and be uber disciplined in the food preparation, but to leave out delight is to forget to turn the oven on.
If life is a meal, I belief it’s delight that does the cooking.
