CHAOS: FRESH AWARENESS AND AN EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP
Let’s be real. Chaos is unavoidable. And not all chaos is bad. I don’t mean… let’s be neutral about chaos… although I think that’s also a helpful tactic.

DEVOTION IS A PRACTICE
Whether in the realm of relationships.... faith... principle... path... project... or promise,

DEVELOP YOUR EMERGING GIFTS
[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] While many of us will operate within similar structures, containers or frameworks, I’m suggesting an essence level shift to doing YOUR work in our world vs. wearing and walking forward someone else’s style or techniques that will fit differently on you and may not allow YOUR full potential to shine through. FOLLOW OTHERS. GET INSPIRED. BE TEACHABLE. AND...
REMEMBER THERE IS A TIME FOR YOUR EMERGENCE.

It's okay to GROW SLOW because you ENDURE
Be sure your measuring stick is calibrated to the majesty of your true trajectory. Your flashy, zooming contemporaries might make you feel like you're not "getting anywhere", but yours is a completely different growth chart. TRUST THAT!
