Great questions for reflection…

What do I know now that I didn’t know in the past?

Where and with whom do I experience gratitude?

What was always there that I now see everywhere?

How have I been surprised recently?

What was something I once thought to be true and now I know was a lie?

Where are the places  I find myself saying or thinking “Yes!”?

Where do I need to say “No more!”?

What do I want?

Who do I want to be?

Your answers should make for a lovely 2017.

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.

Small

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love. Mother Teresa

Aim small, miss small. The Patriot

The smaller your world, the bigger your life. Gary Keller

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Lao Tzu

A person’s a person, no matter how small. Dr. Seuss

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you. Jim Rohn
