Get just enough to be comfortable and you just may be blinded by what else there is or what else could be.
A life filled with trinkets will never fully energize a life designed to be powered with the treasures of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.
Wherever you’re headed, it’s rarely a sprint. Unfortunately, it’s a surprise to most when they get where they didn’t know they were going.
Where is the quiet drift taking you?
The late Jim Rohn once said, “Increase your capacity so that you may hold more of the next experience.” Few words have rattled me like these have.
This is why we read, why we listen, why we look, why we ponder, why we ask, why we observe, and why we touch, why we take notes, why we practice, and why we hone the instruments of our music. They connect the dots we’ve collected thus far to an endless world of ahas tomorrow.
Every moment holds a souvenir. We just need some space to store them.
The more we can hold in the more we can pour out.

A thank you a day.
A no thank you a day.
A walk a day.
A journal entry a day.
A prayer a day.
And so forth.
Success sounds eerily familiar to failure…drip drip.
…find.
Not wander. Not stumble upon. The ancient scripture simply states you will find.
Let us be people of great questions, and in doing so, become even better seekers for what we are all truly after.
You may just be your own best form of Google.
