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.

Choosing Your World

In a world of scarcity we count things.

In a world of abundance we enjoy things. 

It’s a choice to delightfully have your fill or pessimistically never have enough.

The Keys To Your Future

Lies.

Disbelief.

Note payment(s).

Today’s quick fix.

Forgiveness or lack thereof.

Discipline or lack thereof.

Ego.

Love.

Who or what have you handed the keys to?

Reassurance

Don’t ask for it.

Don’t push for it.

If you ask for it and if you push for it, you just may get it. And that’s not the it you’re truly after.

However, when it arrives in its own unique and non-prefabricated way, that reassurance will allow you to rest assured that you’re on something.

This will make a lot more sense the next time you’re about to ask for it and next time you’re blind-sided by it.

It should be a gift to you, the recipient, not a request.

No Thank You: Our Saving Grace

“No thank you.”

There probably isn’t a more freeing and, simultaneously, foreign phrase in our vernacular.

This will save us. And we can say it with grace.

Another yes leads to another commitment. Another yes heals immediate pain, but fortunes future frustration. Another yes can become another distraction. Another yes could, even with the best intentions, create another yes or no scenario.

Then there’s no. It can center us, re-align us, and steady the beat of our music which is our divine yes.

In the end I’m not sure if we’re known more by what we say yes to or more by what we say no to, but it appears that more and more yes’s stretch us thinner and thinner and more and more no’s empower us to interact and experience our truest widths and most meaningful depths.

“No thank you.” Try it on for size….
