We listen to the music, but we may just need a few lyrics.
We read books in hopes that just one line may speak to us.
We journal about the day to reflect on a moment.
Inches of enlightenment sprinkle across our miles.
More and more of less and less. This has become my mantra for 2014 and I’ve read and gathered a ton of great data, information, random experiences, and insight as to how this mantra can help anyone in any period of their lives.
Check out these books.
Alton Lane. Instead of 3 suits, buy one really great/perfect/made-to-fit suit. It’s fun too.
Moleskin Journal for Evernote. If you’re an Evernote user, you’ll love this. If you journal, you’ll love this. If you only do one of these, you’ll be doing the other by the time you’ve filled the pages. Hint: reflection is a great teacher.
The Daily Beast Cheat Sheet. Everything you need in national and global news. Just a couple minutes and your up-to-date with relevant and important information. Then go make your own news.
Miles Davis. Let us not forget what jazz does to our bones.
Seaside, Florida. Imagine a world without McDonalds or Starbucks. Welcome to Seaside. We think you’ll find some clarity here.
Godspeed in your pursuit of the music that creates meaning, purpose, and fulfillment and I hope to see you around.
