Like any good mother, her desire was to have her child grow bright and bold, and to be full of good humor and wit, and to be generous and courageous and kind.
For, being such, how could anyone not have the most beautiful story?
After all, what is the code and concept of life, of living, of humanity, if it is not to find one's calling and to have that calling be greater than one's self; if it is not to pursue that calling and complete it with joyous self-respect?

Breathe. We are the embodiment of our past, present and future. This is an intriguing dynamic - moment by moment, ever ongoing, moment into moment - an intricate weave. Breathe.
See.
Get-up and go.
Embrace your journey.
Gracefully. Gratefully. Go. It is amazing, isn't it, how resourceful we can be when we try, having no other option available, but to press - intentionally - ever onward, where every moment is an embracing arrival and each touched moment is an imprinted departure - baton to baton to baton - reshuffling, resetting, recovering, recharging, reaching, revelling, reordering. Ever now. Ever new. New upon new upon new, as is now! On some levels amazing. On some levels as ordinary as sleep.
When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin.
We are the embodiment of our past, present and future. Do you think so? Perhaps you too have arrived at or been suckled into that ever-expanding flexible dynamic where personal experience of a peace that passes understanding gives rise to wonder.
Many wonders! Many kinds of wonder! Perhaps it is the very wonder inspiring your dream. Perhaps it is the wonder of your dream. Creation. Innovation. Adaptation. Resolution. Revelation. Wonders. Enjoyable only if you can breathe. Breathe.

SCENARIO: There are many impeccable solutions, beautiful solutions, genius solutions, trapped behind a matrix of gluttony, greed, anger, laziness, lust, envy, anger and pride. Unnecessary suffering. There are many gorgeous solutions, profitable solutions, magnificent solutions, lost in a maze of superstition, for lack of intelligence, where intelligence is simply the ability to process information, usefully, in a manner that would inform future predictions and decisions. Wasted brain-space. There are many solutions - powerful solutions, empowering solutions - left dangling in unlit closets for lack of a house-keeper's grit (cammouflaged in excuses). A sad abandonment. Full discllosure: these need not be so for any reason whatsoever. But!! There they are. To what solution chain are you linked if you are, and if say you feel awakened to that solution's huge potential,
During this series we accomplished many things in fresh new ways with fresh new applications using solid working principles and employing exciting innovations.
In a remarkably innovative way you've probably not experienced before, each episode transformed one of theseven deadly sins into a) a fresh new lens and b) a BS Meter both of which helped to further enhance our abilites getting things done superbly well.
We look forward to engaging and embracing you throughout our next series. CHEERS.
Today's pivot QUESTION: if it were possible for you to step outside of yourself and from that position objectively observe YOU in ongoing dynamic relations with your operational world (at every level - within, without, above, below & around you) and you did exactly that
- what changes would you make presuming you are not perfect?

Use Your Personal Toolkit Smartly
We've learned from each other and through daily practice that gratitude is as defined, "a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness." It gravitates us into a continual mode of active gratefulness.
Graitude is not an internal feeling alone (which by itself is teeming with perpetual wholeness); it is demonstrable, marking whatever we do, and that without having to make a show of itself for show's sake. It is remarkable.
Through the unfolding of this series, Getting It Done (A Far Better Way), we are afforded lots to be grateful for. We could not accomplish as much as we have without the enormous talent, the unique chemistry, and the remarkablegivingness, of so many exceptional individuals and creative teams. It is nigh on mind-boggling how wholesomely evolved our communitiesand the gifted individuals with whom we are joyfully engaged are proving themselves to be, reshaping each other continually.
To further enhance your toolklt, to be more proficient with your toolset, or to create tools uniquely suitable to your tasks and needs, you are welcome to consult freely with our regularly updated PERSONAL DEVELOPMENTand associated playlists - styled for your convenience. Click. Take. Peruse. Use freely.

a Fresh New Lens:
newer eyes, newer heart, newer mind
Hope
"An infinity of forests lies dormant in the dream of an accorn."
How can you more optimally deliver your 'goodies':
valued goods
valued services
invaluable ideas
such that their benefactors enjoy a more enriching experience?
What need(s) are you satisfying and who are the stakeholders of your current endeavor to satisfy it?
Knowing better positions us to do better!
Small, manageable, incremental steps are a plus. What might you want to consider throughout your progress along your journey? Your values.Balance. Surplus. Deficit. Debt. Time.

The clock chimes again. Then minutes tick away. The clock chimes again. Then minutes tick away. The clock chimes again. Then minutes tick away. The clock chimes.
Take Action
"Know what you own. Understand what you claim. Believe you can achieve what you conceive then call it by its name. Mine! The extent to which you have this clarity of mind, this purity of understanding, this strength of belief, you have the fire, the fuel, the impetus, the passion, the determination, the willpower you require to pursue and retrieve your truest desire. But do not claim what does not belong to you. It will not keep you . . . it will suffer you but for only so long."
You are valued. You are important. What you experience is important. Your intention matters. You are a whole being. You are a true wonder. You diminish yourself whenever you pit valued elements of who you are against vital elements of who you are: your intuitive self against your intellectual self, your rational self against your emotional self, your gut against your heart against your head. Don't be put at war against yourself: you are a masterpiece. An intricate being. Human!
It's all up to YOU.

Life: it is a dance. It gets better with practice; its music is in your heart and in your soul and in your blood and in your bones. Life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice. You have a partner – your spirit. You can have a party if you like, but choose smartly who you invite, for life – your life – is a dance. It gets better with practice, unless you stop the music or so crowd your dance floor there is no space to move or be moved within it. Explore. Yes, life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice until the dance becomes the dancer and the dancer becomes the dance and life and all of existence becomes a singular flow. Yes, life; it is a dance. It gets better with practice. Dance.
Masterpiece
a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship.
Grit - def - courage and resolve; strength of character. Should you have the clarity of vision and the know-how and the willingness to learn as you go, progressing from step to step, from goal to goal, I pray no matter the obstacles, the vicissitudes, the favors, the privileges, the dificulties or ease, the advantages or disadvantages, whatever your achievement you'll find in your process and engagments the satisfaction you deserve and desire. Realize it is up to you. It is up to you! It is up to YOU! No matter what!
Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.

live laugh love
. . .
let your light shine
Come, let us all be friends for once,
Let us make life easy on us,
Let us be lovers and loved ones,
The earth shall be left to no one.
Across the nation and around the world there is a long rumble.
It is a rumble so loud it strikes ready ears as a distant clap of a fierce thunder. It is a rumble so low, it rides beneath the noise of a thousand human fears; it can no longer be heard. Fear of flight, fear of heights, fear of sand, fear of snow, fear of monsters in the closet, fear of bugs in the pillow, fear of cats, fear of bats, fear of strangers at the door, fear of being lost, fear of being laughed at, fear of being stuck in the toilet bowl, fear of whites, fear of blacks, fear of browns, blues and yellows, fear of nakedness, fear of the unknown, fear of being hurt.
Smile. Live. Love. Laugh. Look. Listen. Learn. Be awesome. You are powerful beyond measure. You are not alone. You can do all things. I am you. You are me. We are one. Keep Sharing.
May our light shine on sprinkled seeds along The Journey.
"Live Your Life - Live it well. You are worth it."
Listen. Learn. Lead.

Something to Consider: We have an internal team. What do you do when your internal team members are in conflict with each other - at loggerheads - and have set up impassable boundaries, blocking your best moves? This internal team - the creators of your personal narrative; the protagonists and antagonists of your infernal stories; the arbiters of your doubts and fears; the adjudicators of your joy and peace; the advocates for your spectacular - are they in need of a courageous leader? - (A Place Called Ah.)
