What’s your vacation perspective?
Oh, hi friends!
When you get back from vacation, you are still you.
Your world is still the same.
And yet, you are slightly different, in small ways.
You look at your routines with fresh eyes.
It’s like going the optometrist and getting an updated prescription.
Everything’s sharper and crisper. You didn’t know what was dull before. Now you do. Now all is clear.
See?
“Sometimes results are out of our hands….You might feel like you’re not getting the success you want or the results you want, but it’s not really in your control. If five people show up who are just better than me, I can’t be disappointed that I didn’t win. But I still can love the work and improve myself.”
I love this story on Desi Linden, who won the Boston Marathon this year after a major mindset shift, and notched a sixth-place finish in New York this weekend.
I saw “Company” in London this week—the 1970 musical was reworked (with Stephen Sondheim’s blessing and cooperation) with the main character of Bobby changed into the female Bobbi. It was exceptional.
And it made me think about how much trust Sondheim had in his musical, and in the director Marianne Elliott, and how creative works can exist on so many different planes and even in different decades, and how it’s our job to always push ourselves to creating the very best piece of work for the time we are living in now. Here is a little clip from the show.
