It’s hard to opt- in to an opportunity if you can’t see it through the smoke of distraction.

As you clear the smoke your visibility for opportunity multiplies tenfold.

Michelangelo had to see the angel in the marble before he could carve to set him free.

We’re surrounded by such metaphorical angels. They’re waiving at us too and yearning to be freed.

But as long as there is smoke, we’ll never notice their waive.

Fewer options for distraction lead to more opportunities for opportunity.

Clear the smoke. Opt-in. Set your angels free.

Michelangelo once noted about his David masterpiece saying, “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”

For many, our days are nothing more than a big marble block…heavy, burdensome, or simply a rock that weighs one down or must be climbed over.

I’m calling you out and asking you to find the angel in your Monday marble.

See him. What was seen as weight is now viewed as opportunity.

Listen to him. He beckons action.

Chip. Hammer. Chip. Hammer. Set him free.

May the Muse this day give us eyes to see the hidden and maybe even shy, but pleading angels in our marble blocks.

Their (angel) freedom is your fulfillment.
