What brings you joy?

Wondering what to do, or where to go next?

Ask yourself this question:

What brings you joy, and what, through you,

brings joy into the world?

Now: find a way to do some more of that!

Step away; step outside

It's easy to get hooked on acquisitions.

But can anything we build or buy

ever match the glory of what's already out there,

created for our viewing pleasure?

Take a moment; step outside and breathe...

Achieving presence

Stop.

Stop whatever you're thinking or doing.

Stop, breathe, and ask yourself:

How is this thought or action

helping or harming the world?

What am I doing right now to make a difference?

The forest of your dreams

How far are you willing to venture

into the tangled forest of your dreams?

Have you not long suspected there is beauty hidden there?

Lean toward the Light

When in doubt,

always lean toward the light.

Sad or grateful?

Sad? Or grateful? Beautiful or all used up? 

It's all in how you frame it.

Tossed aside to wither away after a lifetime of service?

Or resting, safe and secure, after decades of grueling work?

Which story will you choose?

Balancing the ordinary

Nothing -- not even talent, or inspiration -- lasts forever --

Except, perhaps, old patterns of behavior. 

Creativity somehow finds a balance 

between the brilliant and the ordinary...
