Hands Off

Here’s a very interesting read from Business Insider on Holocracy and how Tony Hsieh is letting it reshape the structure and future of Zappos.

I heard Seth Godin last week in New York say we shouldn’t be the generation that is given a mile and only takes an inch.

I’m hearing that again in this interview.

LTMP Episode 16: Silence, Stillness, and Solitude with Phileena Heuretz

We are joined in Episode 16 at Let The Music Play Podcast with Phileena Heuertz of Omaha, Nebraska. An author, spiritual director, yoga instructor, public speaker and retreat guide, Phileena is passionate about spirituality and making the world a better place. Phileena has led contemplative retreats for a number of faith communities including: Word Made Flesh, World Vision International, Compassion International, as well as non-faith and interfaith groups in leading cities across the nation. She has spoken at a number of universities and seminaries including: Asbury Theological Seminary, Biola University, Creighton University, Eastern Nazarene College, Fuller Seminary, George Fox University, Hardin-Simmons University and Midland University; and conferences such as Q, Catalyst, Urbana and the Center for Action and Contemplation.

Working alongside Mother Teresa and living out a beautiful story that has developed a rare gift for communicating the dynamics of the spiritual journey, Phileena gracefully guides others toward personal growth, bringing harmony to the active and contemplative dimensions of life.

Our conversation in Episode 16 primarily revolves around both the need and the challenge of cultivating silence, stillness, and solitude into our modern lives.

Taste

You can develop a taste for the music that abundantly surrounds us each day. And better yet, the invitation of each sunrise is for you to contribute to the metaphorical music genres of beauty, meaning, and hope.

You can also develop a taste for noise. Contribution here is, unfortunately, pretty simple and can snowball into groupthink. Things like cynicism, control, pessimism, coveting, and comparing contribute as fuel for this noisy flame. Noise gets by on getting by, wouldn’t dare accept responsibility, and always reiterates just how scarce things are.

There is music you’re here to make and that music changes us, elevates our consciousness, and deposits the everlasting gift of memory.

In the end, they both – music and noise – can find a way to satisfy.
