Instead of Abracadabra

"make no small plans; they have no magic to stir men's souls" --SWK

I'm all about the magic. Lately I've been thinking big. I watched this Ted Talk (posted below) last month which asked the question, "What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"


It made me think about why I hold back in my life. Why don't I try to run a marathon? Why don't I start my own studio? What's keeping down my potential?

Sometimes it seems easier to make a million small plans (things I may not necessarily want to do) then attempt to make some magic (what I really want).

So for now I'm motivated to make some major plans! You better be ready for some Abracadabra!

To resolve your Love.

Lately I've been thinking about Pure Love and how to make that my daily motive when working with people. Most of the time our motives behind communication can be so selfish, but I hope to become more and more motivated by a true love for every individual I come in contact with.

I read this quote about Love the other day and can't stop thinking about how great Love is:

"Love as depicted in the mass media is not what this level is about. What the world generally refers to as love is an intense emotional condition, combining physical attraction, possessiveness, control, addiction, eroticism, and novelty. It’s usually fragile and fluctuating, waxing and waning with varying conditions. When frustrated, this emotion often reveals an underlying anger and dependency that it had masked. That love can turn to hate is a common perception, but here, an addictive sentimentality is likely what’s being spoken about, rather than Love; there probably never was actual love in such a relationship, for Hate stems from Pride, not Love.

[Pure Love] is unconditional, unchanging, and permanent. It doesn’t fluctuate—its source isn’t dependent on external factors. Loving is a state of being. It’s a forgiving, nurturing, and supportive way of relating to the world. Love isn’t intellectual and doesn’t proceed from the mind; Love emanates from the heart. It has the capacity to lift others and accomplish great feats because of its purity of motive."
