At all costs, be a friend.
We need this more than any other label you can earn, learn, choose, or become.
“Friendship is born at that moment when one man says to another: “What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .” C.S. Lewis
When is the last time you renewed, refreshed, recharged, and revamped what’s on the inside?
Like I said yesterday, it’s easy to forget about skin and bones in a world that portrays itself to be powered by buttons and batteries.
And herein lies the gospel of You…you’ll never need a wi-fi code to connect. You came preloaded with everything you need. It appears we could all just use some reminders and awareness to always keep honing our instruments that we arrived here with.
You are now free to move about the cosmos.
That’s the pitch of everyone’s new idea for their industry or field of expertise.
This is beautiful. We live in a world where a team of people can redefine what a car ride is, and in doing so, it gets us all thinking about how we can do what we do better. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Yes, one by one – simple car rides are beckoning us to simplify our systems, processes, and businesses.
Thank you Uber for getting us new lenses to see with.
Enjoy your weekend. Say a prayer for someone in need. Rest well. Monday is around the bend and we need you to be prepared to get us closer to what’s better.
And if you’re wondering how to get from point A to point B this weekend, click here. Enjoy.
The truth sets us free.
And freedom leads us to attention.
And attention leads us to awareness.
And awareness leads us to appreciation.
And appreciation leads us full circle to gratitude.
And what more could we ask for?
Careful going all in on a trend that you think will never go away.
Trends can’t set you free. They can only set you out on a chase.

There are no jobs left.
The only thing that is left standing, or currently asking to be given legs, is the work of art that connects, leads, and changes us.
If one can’t quite put their thumb on that thing you are supposed to do in your field, industry, or line of work – that is good news. In that sense you’re not jobless. And therein lies the role of today’s working artist: take a client, customer, or the recipient of one’s art on a journey and move their thumbs on ‘it’…on enlightenment…on the answer…and even sometimes on the question(s) they didn’t know they should be asking.
It’s time for the proverbial car salesman to forget they don’t sell cars. This goes for all of us.
Or as Paul Valéry once said, “To see is to forget the name of the thing one sees.”
