Yes, you should give a shit.

There has to be something in your life, right now, where you push yourself to be better.

Where it is an honor and a privilege to show up.

If there isn’t- go find one, even if it’s for five minutes a week.

Your soul needs it.

And how?

Then why?

And finally – when you get there, how can you redistribute ?

Green heals.

Yesterday, being outside in New York was a window into how good weather brings people together.

Everywhere I went, folks were outside talking, being seen.

It’s when this city is at its best.

Welcome to spring.

We can’t lose.

I’ve been meditating for 22 days straight.

During the day , I’m alert, I’m managing my emotions, and in high spirits.

All of that doesn’t matter when I begin my practice – meditation is still a struggle. I’m constantly thinking about things, or my phone, or some event.

Yet, even if I only do a minute or two I get that result during the next day (I mediate at night).

It’s been a great reminder of the following idea: medicine doesn’t taste good, but you don’t take it for the taste.

You have to have a place where you practice and a place where you perform.

I wasted a lot of time not being critiqued because I wanted to keep my work to myself. I paid a heavy price not being prepared because I didn’t practice.

Confidence. We all could use a little more of it. The good news is there are plenty of places that give us that opportunity. One is as close as your bed.

In fact, it is.

As Admiral William Mcraven said in his famous commencement speech, making your bed is a key way to get confidence and start your day off on a positive note.

Take the two minutes and do it. Tell us the results :-).

Don’t get this confused, the map is not the territory. Just because you say water doesn’t mean you are having a drink. Just because you said you were going to finish that sprint doesn’t mean it was done.
