When what you want is just around the corner

Oh, hi friends!

Are you allowing the things you want to come into your life?

I’m not really talking about seeking the things you want…it’s easy (or easier) to seek and desire and strive and even try.

But to allow…

Allowing is a different story.

And it’s worth asking whether it’s a story you’re telling yourself.

Just look at this lil' guy!!!

"Ever viciously stewed over an office slight or seemingly terse email … that turned out to be 100 percent innocuous?

Blame projection—you were projecting what you thought someone did, instead of observing what was actually happening."

Just one of the many tips I learned when taking an improv class a couple weeks ago — in improv, the moment is moving too fast and you can't predict what your partner will do. You can only react to the reality of what's happening. And respond. 

So does your career need an improv lesson? Here's my latest story at WeWork on what you can learn from "yes, and-ing" your day job.

The Best $23 I’ve Spent All Year
Look at this giant and dramatic picture! I bought this Zojirushi thermos as a gift three times in the last year — and finally got one for myself. (The 16-ounce in black.)

It was hard to justify buying it since I already have other coffee containers, except…it’s one of the rare items I use every single day. And I thought…why am I sipping ice cold coffee for hours? Why am I being cruel to myself???

And I am happy to report: it keeps coffee literally scalding hot. For six hours. It is magic. It is heaven. It is my new best friend. I should have known 7,000+ reviews wouldn't be wrong.

Thanks, as always, for reading.
