LTMP Podcast 6: Wonder, Waltz, & Awe > Win, Lose, or Draw

LTMP Podcast 6

In this episode we talk about losing the proverbial scorecard and opening our lives to the possibility and abundance that surrounds us when we do the hard work of creating meaningful lives.

Book:

This week’s book is Victor Frankl’s, Man’s Search for Meaning. A classic book that seems to always speak to me at every season of life.

Song: Stargazer by Ashton Gustafson

This week’s song and benediction is a song that I wrote a couple of years back.

As you approach this week, may you pause by the orchid. Listen to the bluebird sing. And be love.

This or that…

There’s a rat race to the top and there’s a waltz back to how things are.

In the end, our poems and songs will ripple much longer than our algorithms and ladders.

Tough Choices

Acknowledging fear.

Respecting freedom.

Learning from failure.

Or maybe the truly tough choice is in choosing the light in which you see these realities that are part of all that we experience.

We’re typically in the dark when we consider the fear, freedom, and failure we experience in our days.

Strike a match and burn three candles: acknowledgement, respect, and education.

The Stories You Don’t See

Who doesn’t love a great story?

In 2010, I read Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years and was forever changed.

Finding the concept of story and living a life with meaning and purpose (like a story) was enough to take my life, relationships, and businesses to a whole new level. My wife and I even named our first child Story.

Moving on…

Grand stories are made up of small, easily over-looked stories. The call, the note, the joke, the stranger, the friend, the enemy, the meal, the travel, the action, the reaction, the response, and repetition of it all can be forgettable. The beat of life, relationships, and businesses goes and then and then and then and then…

And then there was today and then there will be tomorrow.

To create a life and a career that are out of the ordinary, we must continually create unforgettable moments and stories that normally would be missed or overlooked.

Re: Goodnight.

There isn’t a gift under a tree that compares to the gift(s) under your skin.

Here’s something to chew on between now and 1/1/15.

What if you unwrapped yourself and your world everyday for a year?

Chances are you would gain awareness,

enter into vulnerability,

discover potential,

and lead yourself towards all new possibilities.

Cliche, but it sounds like everyday would provide a form of Christmas.
