Ideas Worth Sitting With
A Conversation That Changed My Life Forever
Prayer, hope, despair, more prayer. It all seemed deficient. As am optimist, I am always finds a way to stay hopeful. Hope, denial, optimism: perhaps they’re one in the same in times like these. This conversation was the one thing that broke through.
Action Creates Clarity
Contemplation can feel heavy, ranging from inspiring to depleting, but it's actually light on action. It's easy to get stuck there, where no actual progress lives.
Continuous contemplation is waiting for the perfect moment when there is no perfect moment. Instead, we must weigh our options, decide upon a risk we're willing to take, a sacrifice we’re willing to make, and begin with what we have, where we are.
What I Learned From Making Coffee
The attention to the craft gives meaning to what otherwise is a commodity. Just like any service or product, you can deliver what you offer like a commodity or a craft. This becomes the heart of your brand.
When Your Values Collide
I relished being a business-minded, analytical, problem-solving professional, but I also longed to be a successful creative artist. It felt as if each side was preventing me from moving full speed ahead in those respective directions. Forging ahead with one side didn’t feel right when it would cause me to abandon the other. What was my career without the balancing effect of music and creativity?
Even when things haven’t gone as planned, a better day is coming.
