Your life will change when you tell others how they’ve changed you.
We’re all holding, turning, and working on a metaphorical Rubik’s Cube.
I have mine.
You have yours.
Beautiful, right? Collectively a choir, individually a voice.
If someone asked you, “How does one live well and lead a good life?”…would you be willing to share your cube with them to help them with an answer?
Align the colors…shift the rows…listen to the other side…connect the dots…someone will need your insight soon.
“When you love something like reading — or drawing or music or nature — it surrounds you with a sense of connection to something great. If you are lucky enough to know this, then your search for meaning involves whatever that Something is. It’s an alchemical blend of affinity and focus that takes us to a place within that feels as close as we ever get to “home.” It’s like pulling into our own train station after a long trip — joy, relief, a pleasant exhaustion.
If a writer or artist creates from a place of truth and spirit and generosity, then I may be able to enter and ride this person’s train back to my own station. It’s the same with beautiful music and art.
Beauty is meaning.” Anne Lamott
Thank you Anne.
…at some point.
Maybe you could pay someone with some help?
Or maybe they could pay you with some insight?
What about encouragement? This is one of the finest and rarest currencies available today…impossible for a check to bounce here.
And then there’s trust, friendship, hope, grace, and love.
Strapped for cash?
Check your wallet for some humanity.
It’s in there.
Even though few are teaching us it’s in there…it’s in there.
You just need to remember to use it.
Most of the time it’s us…drawing the lines that supposedly can’t be crossed, building the boxes we say can’t be escaped, and sharing the words that cut the cords to possibility.
A massive leap towards success happens when you gain the awareness of the dialogue, right or wrong, that is happening with yourself hundreds of thousands of times a day.
Personal Responsibility > The Blame Game.
