When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. Be aware that you learn more from your mistakes than you do from your success. Be bold. …Michael Torphy

God in me is unified with God in all. This one is now drawing into my life all love and fellowship. I am one with all people, with all things, with all life. As I listen in the silence, the voice of all humanity speaks to me and answers the love that I hold out to it. The great love that I now feel is the love of God and it is felt by all and comes back to me from all. I understand all people. And this understanding is reflected back to me from all. I give friendship and therefore I have friends. I help and therefore I am helped. I uplift and therefore I am uplifted. I am now surrounded by all love all friendship all companionship all health all happiness all success. I am one with life. I wait in the silence while the Great Spirit bears this message to the whole world. Thank you God.

I came across this quote recently and it really resonated in relation to the current economic situation and business environment for each of us and for the world. (Substitute the words "a pandemic" for the word "tragedies!")
“After tragedies, one has to invent a new world, knit it or embroider, make it up. It’s not gonna be given to you because you deserve it; it doesn’t work that way. You have to imagine something that doesn’t exist and dig a cave into the future and demand space. It’s a territorial hope affair. At the time, that digging is utopian, but in the future, it will become your reality.” ~Björk
Isn’t this how it works all the time, and especially now? In these ultra-challenging circumstances? A new future from the “new” normal is not going to be given to any of us. “Imagine something that doesn’t exist and dig a cave into the future and demand space.” Yes.…Jeff Willmore

6:10am sunrise from 59th Place in LA
Accountability is the opportunity to live at choice rather than accidentally. The opportunity to carve out the future rather than sit back and have it happen to you. Transformation lives in accountability. Without committed speaking, without promises and declarations, there is no transformation. There is, at best, peak feelings. With promise, you support your commitments rather than your moods. ...Werner Erhard
