The addition of more meaning, more fulfillment, and better experience we celebrate in our lives is simply a byproduct of the send off parties we host for the unnecessary things that crowd our lives.
Goodbyes are never easy, but they are some of the most significant signposts on the map to your music. Continue reading
What got you here today will get you back here tomorrow.

Living things decompose when idle.
Ships rot in the harbor.
Airplanes rust in the hanger.
We all want something. However, some hope for what they want and some go get it.

Fulfillment is more about being able to say ‘I went and got it’ than it is ‘now I have it.’
Move. Sail. Fly.
Great lives do not push agendas, rather they pull us in with questions for our awareness to how things are and how we can we can make the world a better place.
Jobs asked if we were settling for good when incredible was nearby.
Godin is asking if we are accepting the status quo or challenging it.

Fewer options for distraction lead to more opportunities for opportunity.
Clear the smoke. Opt-in. Set your angels free.
