The even pages…they’re a surprise. I have to turn one over to get there.
Each morning I wake up at 5123, I read a daily note. Different than (the old) Sunday Note from MGM that I used to write, these are short. Deep. Meaningful. Often impactful. But, on “even page” days, I have a different ritual. See, the even pages are on the left. So, I have to turn one over to get there.
My process is I hold the corner of the page and breath in … twice. I ask a question, whatever jumps to my heart. Lately, the questions have been bigger. Deeper. More meaningful. Searching for impact.
Maybe it was because I read some feedback a leader sent me about a program I ran. Or, that I got to help a couple of colleagues hone their presentations. Maybe because big changes are coming to my life - personal AND professional ones. Whatever it was, my question was answered when I turned today’s page:
PS: The book is “The Daily Stoic.” I bought it the first Monday I lived in Montomgery, and have read the “daily” every morning I’ve woken up at home. I *did* get the kindle version - it was $1.99 at one point - but for some reason the words on a page speak to me differently than on-screen.
