As I sat in window-seat 23F, 30,000 feet in the air

Michael Singer was reading me his book “The Surrender Experiment”

I peered out the double-pained glass

beyond the right wing down upon the earth

to a series of streams carrying water to larger bodies of water

Like veins carrying blood to our organs.

Life.

I thought to myself, what a beautiful creation.

(I opened up Audible & pressed pause)

Fuck, I love this human experience.

I love that we create it.

Our reality.

We create ourselves.

The main character.

Who do you want to be-come?

I began to review my life & who I am.

How I want to show up for this world in order to leave it better than I found it.

A grand vision- purpose even

But then I brought it down to each moment.

Which holds opportunity to impact.

How do I want to show up energetically to make a positive impact in every humans life that I encounter.

Healing even.

Is that even possible?

I reviewed how I’ve grown & transformed over the years.

Beliefs I’ve adopted, how they’ve impacted the way I operate, communicate & exist…

and what I project to others

In the relentless reflection of self, I found a trait that was limiting my experience & impact

So I took out my blue ink pen & this airplane napkin

And I began setting my intentions.

What I wanted to embrace & embody each day…

In order to break free as a prisoner of my own mind.

What I had to let go of was a form of control - specifically around my days, time & planning.

There’s a place for it, but the line is where it begins to limit.

And it was greatly limiting me

If it didn’t fall in line with the structure & beliefs I had developed - it was a NO.

For the first time in my life, it was predictable routine…

Frankly, it was fucking boring.

Which means I was fucking boring lol

And my life has never been boring

I’ve lived 1,000 lives in just this one.

But for 1.5 years I was so focused on business & impact that I stopped living.

It was time to let go of control.

7 weeks later, I pulled out the napkin

Did I give each of these intentions all that I had?

One by one I crossed them off

Yes Yes Yes

And the result - A Sun - A big ball of light shining on the entire world.
