Notice?

What does this mean?

Today’s posts are inspired (while on a 5-mile morning walk) by random song titles from my Apple Music Library on shuffle play. 

Notice, to me, means being present.

Being present is elusive because humans are busy doing all the things humans do. Rare are those who simplify their to-do lists and slow their speed.

Do not trust under any circumstances

You can be present and mindful in our busy world, impossible as it sounds. Start by not trusting conveniences and normal daily distractions – they are (master) thieves.

Improve the present moment

Young Steve Jobs in deep thought
Young Steve Jobs in deep thought. Contemplation and self-reflection are analogous to sharpening the saw before felling trees.

John Wesley said…

(S)he who has governed the world before I was born shall take care of it likewise when I am dead. My part is to improve the present moment.

In a world void of abundant role models for life balance – personal vibrancy – in mind, body, spirit, work, and home…

…and with a clock that waits for no one, i have taken the risk to offer what most are too busy, or too afraid, to do…

…take control of all the controllable things in their life.

Your thoughts, your physical activity and choices, your peace and contentment, your work contributions, and your personal organization at home.

Improve your present moment.

What’s missing from life

What’s missing from life?

Personally, at 60, this is the list of what was missing for 50 years. Now, this is a list of must-have’s i use to daily create peace and contentment:

  • Present
  • Mindful
  • Motivated

We come to know the true meaning of our birthday when we learn to celebrate it every day.

What does this mean?

It means most of what we do is driven by a sense of obligation – and/or the avoidance of shame – rather than deeply embedded, constant, intentional thoughts of gratitude.

Gratitude at any time, anywhere.

Every day.

All day.

Don’t send flowers on Valentine’s Day. In fact, that’s the last day i want you to send anything.

The assumption is you easily understand this riff and totally get it.

While it was weird not celebrating Easter two days ago in Church, the other 364 days of Easter celebration (yes, celebrate everyday, just like your birthday) easily compensated for the non-traditional “observation”.

We come to know the true meaning of Easter when we learn to celebrate it everyday.

Don’t go to Church on Easter. Everyone expects that. Make Church every step you take.

Never send stuff on Valentine’s Day.

Deliver hand-picked roadside flowers in an old glass container. Share i-love-you cards or notes any time and especially during ordinary time – because Valentine’s Day (a day of Love) is every day.

Stunningly beautiful attitude

The Season mysteriously appeared. Thankful for that. Hoping episode numbers fall into place as well.

Stunningly beautiful attitude.

What a gift.

Enjoy it to the fullest.

Daily.

Right now, especially, in this very moment.
