Pocket notes from 2016…

A healthy you is the greatest gift you can offer those you’ve been entrusted with.

Whole & connected > Fragmented and divided.

Unity > Uniformity.

What one may find as strange in a stranger can be the door that opens into a friendship.

Enough is the magic number.

Life isn’t about you, but you must be about Life.

The space between curiosity and gratitude is a great place to call home.

Beauty and time share trajectories. So take your time and soak in the beauty.

A soupy life offers much more texture and flavor than one that goes a la carte.

When we grow our capacities we allow ourselves to hold more of our experiences.

When a hobby turns into a metaphor…

…you’re on to something special.

We need all the time we can get with the things that can facilitate what we most need like patience (stillness and meditation), abstraction (art), eclecticism (music), wonder (astronomy), mystery (philosophy), surprise (travel), and resurrection (chocolate, cheese, whiskey, gardening, etc).

Watching sports will very rarely do this.

Permission to be weird as long as it gets you to what you’re meant to be becoming.

Rules and Laws

First, there are no rules.

Just look at Warby Parker, Amazon, The Compassion Collective, and who the next POTUS will be.

But we do have laws. Universal laws. It’s just how things are where we happen to be.

Like the law of compensation (you get what you give) and the law of the harvest (you reap what you sow).

There aren’t many places left where if/then scenarios are consistently reliable. They are, however, with laws such as these.

So don’t just obey them. Enjoy their natural tailwind. That’s why they’re there.

Truth > Trend.

3 Things I Want You To Do Today

  1. Read Andrew Sullivan’s article from New York Magazine entitled, “I Used to be a Human Being.” http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/09/andrew-sullivan-technology-almost-killed-me.html?platform=hootsuite
  2. Listen to this little moment. https://gravitycenter.com/2903-2/
  3. Reflect on this poem called “Barter” by Sara Teasdale.
Life has loveliness to sell,
     All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
     Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children’s faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
Life has loveliness to sell,
     Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
     Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit’s still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.
Spend all you have for loveliness,
     Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
     Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.
