Nick: Learn the art of asking for what you need. What if thinking is just a sensation, like breathing or hearing? Sometimes our thoughts are loud. Then it's time to phone a friend. Wishing you a lot of peace, positivity, and prosperity.
Hi, folks. How you doing today? My name's Nick the poet. And thank you for taking a walk with me. Maybe you want to take your cell phone outside right now and take a walk. Maybe you want to take a walk around your kitchen. You know? Maybe you want to just get a little movement in. Or maybe you're having a cup of coffee on the couch and you want to just sit there and listen. And so today I wrote a new poem with some new thoughts this morning that I wanted to share with you. And it goes like this.
Wonder is our natural state as we skate from ordinary to extraordinary moments. And after years of searching, discover that every ordinary moment is crammed with the extraordinary. Life is serious. Life is mysterious. Life is curious. Life is fun. Life is not meant to be taken so seriously. Life is a paradox. Not meant to be understood, but to be lived. Learn the art of asking. Asking for what you need. Asking for what you want. Asking for help. Why is it so difficult to ask? Why does our mind get in the way?
Next time this happens, think of the blue jay singing its song and do the same. Shakespeare said, tis nothing good or bad, only thinking make it so. What are you thinking about right now? What is your kind of feeling with the present moment? What if thinking is just a sensation, like breathing or hearing? What if we don't have to take our thoughts so seriously? What if we just let them float past and wave bye bye like a cloud? Sometimes our thoughts are loud. They need to be heard. Then it's time to phone a friend, like on that show who wants to be a millionaire.
Oftentimes, our friends can give us an answer we wouldn't have otherwise discovered. Don't deprive your friend of helping you. It may help you survive and them thrive. Or vice versa. Or both. Because we're all somewhere along that path of surviving to thriving. You know, sometimes, like Luke says, our beard is really on point. You know, this is one of those days. So I hope you can take this information. You know, what are you thinking right now? What are you feeling? And maybe you need to go for a walk.
Maybe you need to talk to a friend about it. You know, who knows? We can each just become our own best coach, knowing what we need to do next. So I'm wishing you a lot of peace, positivity, and prosperity while all remembering that we have a lot of work to do, but we're going to do it together. Have an awesome day.
