Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence knows what is contagious. A life in pursuit of musical hope is and one that sits still in quiet desperation is not.

Emotional intelligence seconds Richard Bach when he states, “Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.”

Emotional intelligence reads between the lines and sets up office there too.

Emotional intelligence understands the hope for everyone to understand, but knows that not everyone will.

Emotional intelligence, when shined upon, casts shadows of beauty, meaning, and purpose.

Emotional intelligence makes your art artsy.

In the end, emotional intelligence will trade math, science, and grammar any day for flow, vibe, design, and feel.

In-between Aha’s: A Life of Parlay

The more one takes time to get a birds eye view above his or her life, family, or business the more they begin to discover the beautiful and unconnected dots that guide them towards more purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. This is the divine human experience we get to partake in.

I love how Eric Hoffer stated, “In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”

May we not boast in what we’ve learned, but eagerly hold high what we’re learning. Humility just may be the most overlooked source of fuel that we’ve neglected to energize us.

Are you brave enough to believe in a world that exist past letter Z? I hope so. And if so, please parlay your aha’s today into more tomorrow.

Our collective illumination is contingent on our individual illumination. Again and again.

Commas > Periods

Something worked yesterday, something different works today, and something else will work tomorrow.

Today, we rejoice in commas.

In the end the worthy goal isn’t to one day blow out your candle in some form of case closed, definite conclusion.

Rather, our hope lies in these little lights that we all have to let shine and in their capability to light the way for another or reignite one’s wick that has gone dim.

Collectively, we can all help each other to see a little bit better and get us on the other side of another comma.

Flames are contagious.
