Dis-covering.

When you see things as they are – not as you want them to be – you are removing their cover and coming to know them fully and see the language, meaning, and truths under their skin. 

Purple is hard to know without first understanding red and blue.

With or Without Metaphor(s)

You can live without them. Most do.

And there’s the choice to live with them. But this choice has it’s choices too.

You can choose to experience the world as a battlefield or as a poem.

You can see your days as a pass or fail test or a painting.

In the end, we need you to choose to live with metaphor(s) and then we need you to choose subtitles with possibility over pessimism.

If you’re convicted…

…expect turbulence.

…anticipate resistance.

Conviction will always have a litmus test that requires some form of persistence, perseverance, hope, faith, and endurance.

The pursuit of success in any path will always come full circle to one question…”Are you really in love?”

One ‘I don’t’ can crush a million ‘I do’s’.

Put it down, flip it, and reverse it.

Contribution is the new consumption.

This backwards reality is the opposite of what we’ve been taught, and yet the leaders of tomorrow – in any field – are starting to understand and see this as the way.

Once you’ve poured something out only then will you have made room to soak something in.

Yes, to get it right, we’re going to have to get it backwards.
