Years ago I read Joslyn's thoughts on simplicity. I've spoken about it here quite a bit but it's also never been far from my thoughts. In this world of so much abundance --- how does one quiet the mind? I think the answer is a combination of gratitude and simplicity. Thankful hearts for what we have and a simple and clear vision for reaching what we'd like to see more of. The abysss of the internet with it's thousands, no millions, of articles, youtube clips, pinterest pics etc. can leave even the most focused person wondering if they in fact are struggling with an adult form of attention deficit disorder!
But one of the ideas I started this blog with was the famous line from Steve Jobs, "You can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path."
And that's what I've been doing. Gathering the dots. Curating what I like, what makes me excited, what I come back to time and time again. I can say with certainty, that I'm beginning to create an image out of these dots I've been gathering. I thank this blog space for helping facilitate that.
