Eyes. Wide. Awake.

The more you dig into the universe the more you begin to to notice its’ harmony, cadence, and eternal tone. And when you start to see the lines and know the dots of reality that is when the music in-between the two becomes more and more electric.

Think of the last stranger you crossed paths with that left you better than when you found them. Most likely, they were awake – present – or connected with some idea, action, or insight into reality that you never knew of or never had a proper introduction with.

No matter the season you find yourself in, an awake soul is always a refreshing encounter. They move us to melt the joy frozen in winter, bloom a better bloom in the spring, surf the summer shores, and the soak in the re-energy of autumn as it is intended.

3 Things:

1) If we’re going to be strangers to approximately 7.3 billion people, let’s at least be ones that glow.

2) The awake conversation always starts in the eyes. Show me the direction of your eyes and I’ll show you the direction of your life.

3) “Therefore we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen…”

The New Rules Aren’t So New

If there are any new rules, they’re just a repeat of the ones we were originally taught kindergarten.

Be nice to one another. Share. Say please and thank you.

This is good news as humanity and soul get to inch back into our businesses and have an active role in our measurements of success and, honestly, even our profitability.

So you have a choice to make. You can keep on keeping on until you have no choice but to participate in the new rules. You can keep pointing at the numbers and asking their opinion. Or, you can take an active role in re-writing the rules for your industry, customer, or tribe. You can point at the soul and ask her thoughts on the matters in question. I think it’s safe to assume, today, that she may have more insight than your spreadsheet does.

NEWSFLASH! The rat race just became a music recital. And aren’t we glad this is so?

Either Or

Successful people don’t live within “either or” mentalities.

You’ll never hear them say I’m either going to sleep in or get up early. They get up early.

You’ll never hear them say I’m either going to create something big or play the lottery. They create something big.

You’ll never hear them say I’m either going to make the call or disregard the call. They make the call.

If you’re not seeing success in a specific area of  your life – chances are you’ve allowed “either or” to creep in.

And, unfortunately, when we choose “or” the majority of the time it’s the path of least resistance – which never leads to success.

Don’t tempt yourself with options and a Plan B.

You were made only for plan A and not any other form of “either or.”

The Ways Of Love Are The Way To Music

Love never gives up.   

Love cares more for others than for self.   

Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.   

Love doesn’t strut,   

Doesn’t have a swelled head,   

Doesn’t force itself on others,   

Isn’t always “me first,”   

Doesn’t fly off the handle,   

Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,   

Doesn’t revel when others grovel,   

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,   

Puts up with anything,   

Trusts God always,   

Always looks for the best,   

Never looks back,   

But keeps going to the end.  The Message 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now we can answers Tina Turner’s question.

What’s love got to do with it? Everything.

Love is in the business of challenging the status quo.

Without it our souls, our businesses, and our lives are bankrupt.

With it we can orchestrate wonderful music and the world around us will join in with song and dance.
