When you walk on the beach sometimes you see a shiny object. And you can’t help but pick it up. Can you? And if you’re like me, you’ll want to share it with special people. That’s what happened to me this morning… I wasn’t on the beach. Hope, I just walked into my front room. The kids were watching a few minutes of TV before going to school and I just sat down with them to bask in the family vibes.
Nothing out there is secret. Not any more. Every little piece of the puzzle is on view if you’re prepared to search for it. Attracting success, wealth and health is an algorithm. And a big part of life’s “success-code” boils down to: “How do we treat ourselves?” Don’t worry. Not many have fully cracked the code yet. But don’t you think it might be time? It seems we spend most of our time feeling a little tiny bit like some kind of a (gulp) fraudster.
I was 17 years old visiting a town in North Devon, England. A friend of mine accidentally poured salt on my potatoes. Years later another friend made me a cup of tea and accidentally put in salt instead of sugar. Both tasted funny. But I consumed them anyway. At the time, it seemed a great shame to waste them. (The food because it probably cost me a week’s wages back then.
I constantly challenge myself to ask this question… “Does it pass the puddle test” Because here’s the thing… It’s been raining here for 3 days constantly. Some people would moan and groan at this. Many do. But every time my 3 (soon to be 4) year old son sees a puddle, he jumps in it. And the truth is. He’s like a glass overbrimming with joy. He KNOWS jumping in puddles is awesome.
I’m going to share something astonishing. Something that should make you angry (but in a really positive way). The kind of way where you can take the Monday bull by the horns and OWN this week. Create the kind of extraordinary plans, personal breakthroughs and high-level adventures you were always supposed to. Ready? Great… So first a question. Silicon Valley is all about making money. Right? I mean all those venture capitalists waving their millions of dollar bills in the air.
