Amendments

Maybe you need to go left.

Maybe you need to go right.

Maybe you need to stop.

Maybe you need to start.

Maybe you need to stay put and be the best you can be where you are at (and lose the idea/worry/concern of left or right & start or stop).

Whatever you’re thinking, amendments were made to make things better.

Michelangelo carved the marble until he set the angel free. No amendments, no angel.

3 thoughts here:

1) We’re always surprised when traveling light just how free we are to enjoy the journey. What needs to go so you may fly?

2) In the end, you’ll be known for your amendments, not your additions.

3) More and more of less and less is currently the ballad of the hour that the successful can’t quit singing.

Gently Down The Stream

The older you get, the more and more fishing trips become less and less about catching fish.

Norman Maclean wrote in A River Runs Through It, “One of life’s quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful…”

I had the opportunity to float twelve miles of the North Platte River today. I entered the stream with the quote above and wrestled with it for all twelve miles.

Life is but a dream.

Author something beautiful with it.

Few yes’s and many no’s

It’s been said that every yes we commit to is coupled with 99 no’s. I believe this is true and then some.

When you say yes to this moment, today, you actively participate in writing what will eventually be the past and you will also be writing the preamble of your tomorrow’s. How beautiful is it to grasp just how connected right now is to our past and our future?

I’ve yet to hear a eulogy quote a tweet, recollect time spent in one’s inbox, or hold high an Angry Birds IQ.

I’m glad I did…. > I wish I had….

What’s Trending?

Good question.

Perhaps the more important question is where does every trend have its inception?

Love, beauty, experience, courage, romance, joy, meaning, hope, & connection..these are the the foundations of any and every trend.

Therefore, a trend cannot be born without the life of something that never goes out of style. Alas, may we be build our lives, families, and businesses around what is, what was, and what always will be.

There are some things that are worthy our hashtags and there are some things that are worthy of our days.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence knows what is contagious. A life in pursuit of musical hope is and one that sits still in quiet desperation is not.

Emotional intelligence seconds Richard Bach when he states, “Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.”

Emotional intelligence reads between the lines and sets up office there too.

Emotional intelligence understands the hope for everyone to understand, but knows that not everyone will.

Emotional intelligence, when shined upon, casts shadows of beauty, meaning, and purpose.

Emotional intelligence makes your art artsy.

In the end, emotional intelligence will trade math, science, and grammar any day for flow, vibe, design, and feel.
