The world of wonderment has never been more wide open…and we should take advantage of that.
That thing.
That thing you think about when you look at the cosmos. What is that thing?
That thing you feel when connection happens in a moment, in the world, with a person, and even with yourself. What is that thing?
That thing that has beaten in your chest as long as you can remember. What is that thing?
That thing you feel on December 25th. That thing you wish you could bottle and drink on the 26th, 27th, and thereafter. What is that thing?
That thing that hums when generosity has her way.
That thing that flies when gratitude is swapped.
That thing has a name and its name is Your Music.
I’d like to tell you more, but it’s better if you take it from here.
The easy thing to do is to look around at those nearby to get a sense of what you should be doing. And if you’re lucky (or maybe not so lucky) they’ll even share with you why you should be doing what they’re doing or suggesting.
You don’t want their why. And their what will never be yours.
And then there is the difficult work that is actually coming to grips with what you want. Those moments we look to the stars, then consult the mirror, and then confirm with Destiny that these are the dots we are to be connecting. Herein lies the hardest work, conversation, and commitment we’ll ever face.
But it’s worth it.
You are worth it.
This is worth it.
AKA. be. do. have.
AKA. Begin with the end in mind.
AKA. Surprise, there are no surprises.
Sometimes we need to pause the music to get the music.
Difficult. Swap. Rewarding.
Compete. Swap. Dominate.
Life. Swap. Mission.
Show me your vernacular and I’ll show you your crystal ball.
…when you care.
And it gets better and better and better the more this caring across the board becomes habitual.
Music cares.
Noise couldn’t care less.
