Can you feel it?

The fact that you have the force of life pulsing through your veins this morning is a miracle in and of itself.

Feel it.

Pause, just for a moment, close your eyes.

Feel it.

Consider all that has had to come together in the history of the world (all the specific details, conversations, chance meetings, relationships, introductions, molecules, chemical reactions, etc) to create this specific moment;

This specific DAY that is right in front of you.

It’s Amazing..

Consider all that has had to come together to create this specific moment that is IN YOU.

Where breath is moving and life is lifting.

Lifting you out of bed, into the world and to this email.

Consider your ancestry.

Consider all the parents and grandparents and their grandparents and all who had to come before you… who had to meet among so many people, connect in a way that brought them back again and then come together in order for you to be created and living right now.

Consider all those chance meetings, conversations and lives lived just to allow you to be awake right now.

Consider 13.8 billion years of creation moving, making and creating… to create what is right in front of you, around you and here for you today.

I mean look around, this moment is the only moment where time touches eternity and you are here!

The fact that you have the force of life pulsing through your veins this morning is a miracle in and of itself. All that had to work and come together to give you this moment to experience has done its job.

And now, here it is.

What will you do?

Give it some thought.

We tend to build our value of success on attainment, comfort, achievement. Our self-esteem on how we look, what we’ve done, the brands we buy, what we have.

Perhaps that is very small, perhaps we need to live bigger. Perhaps we should not take for granted the essence of what is actually happening here.

The complexity, the love, the grace and the power of creation. The power of breath, the wonder of your body actually working to give you life this morning.

The power of this very moment unfolding.

The conscious realization of life in you and around you and the experiences you can collect and feel this very day.

Today. Right now.

What is Winning?

Perhaps success is quite simply the miracle of being able to get up in the morning, go to bed at night and in between live like we really want.

Regardless of circumstances. Live with the breath of life. Live bigger and beyond brand.. and look.. and feeling.

Collect Experiences, Connect with Creation, Contribute to Others.

Perhaps success is simply getting lost in the miracle that is you and in all that is happening around you.

You have the force of life pulsing through your veins this morning and now you get to choose what to do.

Let’s live life like that.

Let’s let go of what holds us back and experience the whispering in this wonderland where we live.

Life is waiting and its yours for the taking.

Let go and LET’S GO,

Jeff
