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.
Will you chase or will you attract?
This is a giant question for us and the choices here could not be more different.
Think of the implications here for all things in our lives, relationships, and businesses.
The chase will always leave you out of breath, tired, and panting. Even if you catch it, whatever it is will probably have to be juggled and, unfortunately, dropped.
And then there’s attraction which leads to a waltz and something (a human, an experience, or a moment) you can hold.
So what’s it going to be? The dance or the rat race?
Your call.
…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’.
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.
