Capacity and Spillover

The late Jim Rohn once said, “Increase your capacity so that you may hold more of the next experience.” Few words have rattled me like these have.

This is why we read, why we listen, why we look, why we ponder, why we ask, why we observe, and why we touch, why we take notes, why we practice, and why we hone the instruments of our music. They connect the dots we’ve collected thus far to an endless world of ahas tomorrow.

Every moment holds a souvenir. We just need some space to store them.

The more we can hold in the more we can pour out.

If it’s easy to do…

…it’s probably easy to not do as well.

We’ve heard an apple a day for so long that it’s become, unfortunately, a humdrum old wives tale.

But what if you swapped out the apple for something else?

A thank you a day.

A no thank you a day.

A walk a day.

A journal entry a day.

A prayer a day.

And so forth.

Success sounds eerily familiar to failure…drip drip.

Seek and You Shall…

…find.

Not wander. Not stumble upon. The ancient scripture simply states you will find.

Let us be people of great questions, and in doing so, become even better seekers for what we are all truly after.

You may just be your own best form of Google.

Reminder

When a group gathers around a campfire, a dinner table, or even a cause, the topic of conversation that tends to unfold hasn’t changed much in the last 2,000 years.

Nowhere does it say that the trend will set us free.

Just a friendly reminder for our lives, families, and businesses.

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.
