an email,
a call,
a note,
a meeting,
an idea,
a service,
or a product.
But if it doesn’t end with trust then why even start in the first place?
Trust is the cohesive hope of our connections, communications, and commerce…She’s also the repeat button we push for our favorite music and artists.
Dwell well today, friends.
Hope helps perseverance endure.
Gratitude helps reduce the swell of pride.
Steadiness helps keep you in the race.
Vision helps shape your future.
Awareness helps accelerate serendipity.
Commitment helps fight the urge to surrender.
Attitude helps the flavor of your response(s).
Priorities help ensure progress.
Use and pursue these helpers. They’re here to help.
Conventional wisdom is the body of ideas or explanations generally accepted as true by the public or by experts in a field.
But it has a hard time predicting what really will unfold.
It didn’t plan on Wichita State being in the Final Four.
It never saw the potential for a billion Facebook users.
And it has a hard time defining and wrapping its hands around art, beauty, experience, fulfillment, and meaning.
So why buy into it?
Why pursue it at the cost of losing everything you are actually after?
Metaphorically, all of us want a green jacket in something. But here’s the deal – all of the green jacket owners you have seen or know have taken very unconventional paths to get there.
Shape your shots and release yourself from the crutch of conventional thinking.
You are in the universe that holds the Milky Way that holds our solar system that holds Earth that holds the atmosphere that holds the spot that holds you where you are sitting right now.
Think about that.
It’s as if each step backwards from the spot where you are at to the atmosphere you are in to Earth to the solar system to the Milky Way to the universe is begging you to come join in its jazz.
You matter. This thing counts. There are no do-overs.
The begging universe screams – shine. Please respond with I do.
Do with that what you need to do.

The Wright Brother’s story of flight is awesome, entrepreneurial,
inspiring, and heroic. We all know they tried and tried and
tried…and finally created liftoff.
But did you know they actually started out manufacturing bicycles
before they made and thought about their aircraft? That’s right. A
dream to pedal more efficiently to the local super-market created a
dream that eventually got us to the moon.
Quick thoughts:
Don’t pedal so fast you miss your dream in the clouds.
If you’re bored on your Monday bicycle then find a way to put some wings on it.
Achieved dreams lead to other dreams.
