…is when something special happens.
100 calls and you’ll overcome the fear of rejection.
100 ‘hello’s’ later, you’ll forget the thought of ever avoiding self introductions.
100 workouts and the burn is welcomed (I recall from memory, not current experience).
100 speeches from now the stage turns comfy.
1 is good.
99 more and they will call you ‘Lucky’.
The minute or moment you move into action with your music, sparks start to fly.
And it’s the sparks that we are after.
How else can you start the fire, right?
If you’re wondering where the flame is, perhaps you need to be asking why is this thing (life, business, relationships) not sparking.
And if it’s not sparking, could it be you just simply haven’t taken the responsibility, duty, and obligation of hitting the play button for your music?
Music is intentional. It’s not an accident.
Making notes tonight in preparation for a message I get to share in the transitioning colors of Vermont next week.
Here are some….
This life finds us hovering above the soil that holds the potential for gardens of growth, lessons learned, attention to detail, awareness, and appreciation of beauty. For some reason I can’t rid my thoughts of the law of the harvest and the law of compensation these days.
You can’t separate the soil and gardener from of the garden itself. Without each other, the garden doesn’t exist.
How does your garden grow and grow well? It begins with a gardener that is fully present and fully aware of his responsibility and duty to be gardening in the first place.
Weeds are synonymous with noise and SPAM.
Beauty is produced. Beauty is bloomed. Beauty bursts through the dirt after a seed is sown.
To be in continued…
Design.
Art.
Technology.
Humanity.
Meaning.
Engineering.
Education.
Let’s celebrate the connections, harmonize in collaborations, and seek adhesiveness wherever possible.
This thing works better when we stick together.
When is the last time you renewed, refreshed, recharged, and revamped what’s on the inside?
Like I said yesterday, it’s easy to forget about skin and bones in a world that portrays itself to be powered by buttons and batteries.
And herein lies the gospel of You…you’ll never need a wi-fi code to connect. You came preloaded with everything you need. It appears we could all just use some reminders and awareness to always keep honing our instruments that we arrived here with.
You are now free to move about the cosmos.
