Let There Be Spaces
Let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.Khalil Gibran
Measure me
Measure me
by the color of my mind
See me
by the color of my heart,
And know me
by the strength of my character
If you’re lost, make an equation
To get yourself back out. To take the next step. Use words. Use numbers. Add, subtract, multiply, divide.
The 3:3 Method
The 3:3 Method
Make sure your laptop is fully charged going into your work day. Set three work goals every morning. Complete your #1 goal before your laptop runs out of battery. Take a break and recharge (your laptop and yourself). Repeat for the next two tasks. If you finish early, leave early.
It’s just something I do that’s extremely effective for me. Doesn’t require a fancy name, but it does help to remember it.
The hardest part of learning is the transition from “can do” to “cannot lose”
When you learn something (say a dance move), you’re often just mimicking a pattern. The true mastery is in knowing it so well that it takes your shape and becomes yours.
