Thank you.
I’m sorry.
Let me get that door for you.
I made this for you.
You were awesome.
That made me cry (in a good way).
That allowed me to breathe.

That doesn’t change the fact that they are what cause us to press on.
Name the last time you forgot a complement or regretted serving without an agenda. It’s hard to, right?
Moment makers sleep really well.
That’s my word for 2015.

Started to graph out what this could potentially look like.
I read The Alchemist again today and was happy to see this thinking echoed.
Let’s get better.
…lies a code, a secret, a memo, a to-do, and a line that only you can hear.
This is the place where destiny awakens genius.
Millions of forms, fashions, possibilities, and moments are spoken here: doors to open, notes to write, songs to sing, stories to live out, businesses to create, movements to make, children to raise, gardens to grow, and on and on. In the end, it never ends (that place of possibility resting in the back of your mind, but longing to be awakened). There’s always more. There’s always next.
Whatever it is, we are waiting to see and experience it and you won’t rest at ease until it gets out and becomes something that is real.
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.

And so on.
So what’s the good news here?
It’s not all on you.
