Seed tomorrow with wise self-awareness today!

How often do you hear someone ask a child, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The typical, expected response describes what we’ll do. A doctor, lawyer, engineer, teachers, nurse, fireperson . . . and each choice distinctively carves and defines a life and lifestyle.

In an interview about embracing turning 50 and closing the chapter on her hit show Black-ish, Tracee Ellis Ross reflects upon our human experiences of growing up:

We spends so much time learning how to get what we want instead of who we want to be.

                                                                                                       .  ~ Tracee Ellis Brown

How can we encourage our children to increase the callings of their authentic essence? To listen to their soul and feed their spirit? What’s your gift? What makes your heart sing? Makes you forget about time? What do you want to contribute to the world that comes to you rather naturally? What are your dreams? How do you want to build those dreams?

Having a solid example in her mother, Diana Ross, Tracee says:

If you think my mom plays Diana Ross well, you should see her play mom!

Who are you? What are you playing? Are you living a life that welcomes your being to evolve? Life’s amazingly fast and fragile. Even if we weren’t exposed to the process of self-discovery as a child, the time is now to welcome the unfolding.

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day!

Seed tomorrow with wise equity today!

If Martin Luther King Jr lived, he would be 94 today. A social activist and Baptist minister, he sought equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged, and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest, becoming a target for white supremacists.

Today, it’s not enough to quote him, be inspired by his worlds, or praise him. The world needs us to emulate him. In his words:

Our lives begin to end on the day we become silent on things that matter.

The message need not be Let’s all remember. It can mean individual andsocietal transformation. To honor him most, we continue our inner work identifying and addressing our own bias, standing up for all inequalities we encounter, and pushing up our sleeves to do the necessary work to ensure justice for all. This means more than doing good works. It also means passing good laws.

Some may say we’ve come a long way. There’s still much more to do.

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day!

Seed tomorrow with wise intention today!

How are the first couple weeks of 2023 going for you? Like most of us, you’ve probably, once again, realized that life continues with or without your approval or intervention. Another benefit of setting intention for a year, a month, a week, a day, or any situation.

We either live with intention or exist by default.  ~ Kristin Armstrong

Intention sets the foundation and guiding compass for thought and action. I’ve been told: your success will be pure when your intention is. So, clarity and commitment are required

Enjoy the rest of this, another January.

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day!

Seed tomorrow with wise stories today!

Welcome to another New Year; another opportunity to make the next glorious journey around the sun filled with stories worth living.

A new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.

If someone else currently holds the pen to your life, it’s time to reclaim it. If your mindset holds you hostage to boredom, restrictions, or life in a small box, it’s time to strengthen, rejuvenate and expand. If your habits restrict your ability to renew, recalibrate, and reinvigorate, it’s time to recommit to developing the mental discipline to stay focused and purposeful on the life you choose to author.

Reflecting upon your last chapter may not bring you joy. Editing is part of the process. What lessons are embedded in the past? What opportunities are presented in the present? How do you envision the legacy of the conclusion?  It’s never too late change the narrative and direction toward a more intentional end of the tale.

Life is calling . . .  Today’s the day!
