Across the millennia, we’ve transmitted our histories, our theologies, and our traditions through stories.
Gathered around fires in caves, at kitchen tables, and sitting at the side of a bed, we’ve told stories.
We are a people of story.
It’s hardwired into our DNA.
But… most times we tell rather shitty stories about ourselves. I know I do.
Moods are passing; feelings are fleeting.
Press on.
And tell better stories.
She called me a dick wagger.
It hurt my feelings. But I knew she was only trying to help.
And… if truth be told… she was right.
As a culture, we’re weary.
Weary of feeling scattered.
Weary of the distraction.
Weary of the superficial.
We crave presence. We crave the real.
In order to do the work you’re meant to do in the world, people need to see you.
Not the fake you, not the guru you, not the social media you.
The real you.
Connect. Be present. Be really present.
What a rare gift and precious gift that is.
Everyone loves a good hack.
Here’s how to hack your own obituary.
Now, you don’t need to wait until you read yours on the front page of the newspaper. Nor do you need to win a Nobel prize.
But you do need to be mindful and intentional.
Because you have the opportunity… the privilege… dare I say the responsibility to co-create this gift that is your life.
Your get to write the obituary. If you choose.
I want to tell you about my pickle.
Well, it wasn’t exactly my pickle, which was the problem from the get-go.
One of my very favorite business books is Bob Burg’s “The Go-Giver.” If you don’t have it in your business library, run out and get it. It’s a wonderful parable about a struggling young salesman. The lesson is: The more you give, the more you will be open to receive. Or as Zig Zigler said, “You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”
To be truly successful, the giving comes first.
Be generous with your pickles. Come from an abundance mindset.
It’s easy to lose perspective.
To get caught in the the weeds.
To be stuck on the hamster wheel.
Everyday… feeling as if it’s the same ol’ thing.
Sometimes it’s good to be a voyeur… to take the time to look at your business from the outside… and peer in at what others are doing as well.
It’s not a luxury to step out of it all and take a close look. (Although it certainly may feel like that.)
It’s essential if you really want to enjoy the success you deserve.
Be a voyeur.
