Doing the Stuff

While waiting for a client this morning, I watched the world around me starting a new day. The ocean waves were playing a duet with the hustle and bustle of people and vehicles, doing their stuff. My senses were alerted, enhanced by the mixed aromas of salty air and freshly brewed coffee. 

Doing the stuff implies going about your daily grind, getting through your day as per normal. However, it is the "how" of it that really makes or breaks the daily grind.

Let me explain. Imagine you were a professional clown putting smiles on people's faces every day.  You can either do it with joy in your heart and awe for the result you create, or you can go through the motions completely detached from all emotion. 

All over the world everyone is doing their stuff. Whatever the stuff, at the end of a day they eat, sleep, wake up and repeat. The trick is to look past the stuff for that little spark of awesomeness just waiting to light up your day. 

Imagine what could happen if you gave your mind permission to search for nuggets of awe wherever you are doing the stuff. Blow your mind a little and take that step. 

God's got you. God's got this.
