What does a single penny and a single minute have in common? While the penny is no longer being made, the penny itself still serves as a reminder of just how much it’s still worth in the sense/cents of time.
Some may say a penny is worth nothing and throw it to the wind. Others say it’s worth something. So, they collect and combine a single penny with other pennies. Bit by bit. Coin by coin. Minute by minute. Day by day.
Einstein said a wonder of the world is compound interest. It is interesting when you think about it.
All a penny needs is time. All time needs is a penny. Watch it grow and make sense/cents.
Everything and everyone is energy. Harness your energy and use it to benefit our world. We are all wired with miraculous gifts.
No more waiting to open your gift. Open your gift and open the doors. Doing this will open doors for others.
When is the last time you did something that you really love to do? If you haven’t; please do. If you have; how did it feel? Freeing? Or not?
Many people phone friends to check in from time to time but when is the last time you phoned yourself to check in?
Who are you? What do you love? When did you know? Where are you now in your journey? Why are you here? How do you know? How do you feel?
Time to pick up the phone and call. Get in touch with yourself. Harness and protect your energy. In this world and beyond the yond, be you, yourself and you.
Be the light you wish to see in the world. Inspire and kindle your child’s light.
We all don’t know everything. Life at the beginning didn’t have degrees or institutions. It had intuition and wit. It had courage. It had grit. Here are the top 8 ingredients for survival and thrival: for a life well lived. See what I did just there? / I made up a word. Words contain worlds. And, worlds contain words.
Anyway, here are the top 8 for more than survival : thrival.
L O V E : love is an action word. So, love is movement. just do it / show up and show it everyday.
J O Y : laughter. Big belly laughter
G U T : follow your gut. Intuition / let it lead you
L E T G O and L E T IT B E / Free yourself
C O U R A G E : Have it over might / no fear
COLLAB : make great collabs / collab and work together
TRUST : the process
GIVE : Give it your all not just a try and stick with it
Live well. There is no such thing as death. Eternity is found beyond seconds and minutes. A life well lived is never fully finished.
How do you show up for yourself? How do you take care of you? In order to care for others, you have to take care of yourself first.
While reading Don’t Believe Everything You Think and No Mud, No Lotus, two things simultaneously occurred. 1. Mindfulness is in every step we take: yoga is in each and every single way we move and in every single thing we do. 2. Be present, miracles happen there.
Read, journal, draw, dance like no one is watching because they are not. Do your thing, and do it well. Show up. Take care of yourself well.
Beginnings are endings and endings are beginnings. This is the ebb and flow of life.
The sun rises, the moon sets. The moon sets, the sun rises. Again and again and again. Like the sun and the moon we rise and set. Again and again and again and again.
Let it all go and let it all flow.
We can’t hold back a river forever. The same way we can’t hold back ocean waves.
What are we all doing? Here. At the same time? There are so many theories and probabilities. Is it inertia of life? The push and pull, the ebb and flow of it.
Are we all finishing soul journeys?
Or does having theories help us to get on with it?
To move like Mancala which came from the Arabic word: Nacala which means to move. We must keep moving.
There was a time we didn’t know what we know and knew today. And, that is true every single day.
Like Sisyphus, we keep rolling that boulder.
We were rolling snow into giant boulders to build a snow yeti like creature and as the spheres rolled bigger and bigger / it was a full circle moment. An epiphany of sorts.
Oh, … it hit me then as this giant snow yeti started to topple and fall to the ground passing on love, living in the moment / life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We the people are more than documents and a force to be in charge of. It takes one look in the eyes of another human being / spirit / force to recognize the depth, the soul, the love and the reckoning.
We all want to be acknowledged, understood and to be loved. “So, when the world / [the universe] [all of us] uses the power of love to overcome the love of power, we all will know and experience peace” — Jimi Hendrix
What does it all really mean? The coincidences, the happenings, all of these things. If you know you know. In the wink of an eye, our eternity is found there.
What did you get for life? What did you give to life?
I gave and received gifts of time, talent and treasure.
Time is being in service to others whether it’s volunteering to help a neighbor, a shelter, our Earth. Taking care of our Earth, ourselves and each other.
Talent is sharing your gift and using it. What are you capable of? Do that. Making art / making something like an invention or a song or a play. Making someone laugh or feel.
Treasure is paying / paving the way forward and giving opportunities to those who’ve earned it.
Give your gifts of time, talent and treasure. In the grand scheme of life, we are all walking g each other home. And, we are all the better for it.
