Ironically, I am running a bit too fast for a long Harmony conversation...
a dear friend and colleague sent me a quote today that made me smile...
it was an absolute truth.
It made me smile and it hurt at the same time, the reality that I am so often on the wrong side of the sentiment...
but here I am in THIS moment... and my very clear WANT to live with this more in mind is where the smile came from...
"JOY
comes to us in
ORDINARY moments.
We risk missing out
when we get too busy
chasing down
the EXTRAORDINARY!"
Brene Brown
Love Ms. Brown & grateful for my friend who shared it!
Yesterday afternoon was a wonderful day of JOY in ordinary moments... only clouded by the reality of the business of today...
The more in life I ultimately "catch" what I thought would be "extra-ordinary" the more I find it to be in the ways that matter less "extra-ordinary" than the ordinary beauty of my life.
Perhaps I too often define "extra-ordinary" as simply what has not been "ordinary" in my life... that which I simply don't have yet. That my friends is a very dangerous definition for "extra-ordinary".
WHAT then... is TRULY "EXTRA-ORDINARY"...
WHAT then... is the purpose of my sprints?
What then... SHOULD be?
Candor always... I am a work in progress.
It starts there...
here...
in every moment!
JOY!
in harmony,
Nestor
