Choose to add value.

So much has happened in the past 72 hours in my life that when this popped up in my feed on Facebook, I knew I had to breathe and take stock.

Finally—finally!—I am content with where I am, and happy that I worked on my internal voices and emotional intelligence in order to get here.

It isn’t easy, taking 100% responsibility for my life, limiting complaints, finding the upside, moving the body, stretching the muscles, drinking the water, Being Here Now, and so on.

It’s a drag, while others are saying what’s wrong, to be that person who tries to shift to, “But here’s why you’ll be ok”. Few appreciate the pattern-interrupt during the pattern-interrupt because most want to stay there.

I can’t stay there in the muck. I cannot. I don’t want you to stay there either.

A day is coming when I will no longer be. Same for you. After that, works cannot happen.

You can’t Do anything about anything after you’re gone.

So whatever It is, whatever the Thing That Makes My Heart Sing, that thing—I gotta do it now.

And that thing will help others find Their Thing.

Same for you.

May you spend some portion of today providing value. And value here is defined as “that which makes your heart sing”.

May you be fortunate enough to be able to Do It Now.

May we be positively influenced by your love.
