Your grand August plans
Oh, hi friends!
I love a new month.
It’s like New Year’s all over again. You can make resolutions. You can wipe the slate clean. You can keep on chugging the way you’ve been chugging.
No matter what’s going on in the present, you can use the first square on the calendar as a marker in time.
Lately, I’ve talked to so many people who have said, I can’t believe summer is flying by so quickly and Where has the year gone and I forgot to plan a vacation!
I’ve been saying the same. And I think that perpetuates feeling a lack of control. Time is flying and we can’t do anything.
But…that’s simply not true!
So I wanna take a long second to think…what do I want to get out of August? How do I want to use this often sleepy month? Rest and rejuvenate? Hunker down? Build a canoe? What?
Remember: You do have control. So what will you do?
“Stop and think about what you’re capable of achieving.
Up to now, your capacities have been constrained by constant inner struggles.
Imagine what would happen if your awareness was free to focus only on the events actually taking place.
You would have no noise going on inside.
If you lived like this, you could do anything.
Your capabilities would be exponential compared to what you’ve ever experienced.
If you could bring this level of awareness and clarity to everything you do, your life would change.”
Wow. I want to reach this noiseless place.

In my far-fetched bid to hit some very important deadlines, I deleted Instagram this week, but that hasn’t stopped me from visiting my friend Malcolm Jones’s Instagram via desktop. Yes, he’s just that good. Follow him @mwjonesjr and go here to see his photographs.
