We all get to choose

Colleagues,
​
​MVP: We can choose to notice the beauty of small things, or we can choose not to.

One of the most powerful lasting effects of the Pennine Way through hike Pam and I did last summer is my appreciation of small things.

I’ve shared before how being 100% present allowed me to see as much awesomeness in a tiny flower as in a great glacial valley.

This new-found wonder has persisted, as long as I remain present.

This afternoon I will take a hike on a trail I walk multiple times a week.

If I use the walk to process an issue or work through some ideas, I will not be fully present. That’s okay, as long as I choose to make it so.

If I remain fully present (again, it is a choice), I will be awed by the spring flowers beginning to bloom.

We can choose to notice the beauty of small things, or we can choose not to.

Today’s intention: What choice will you make today?

Cheers!

Frederick
