A reflective talk about staying present and finding peace in the current moment as change accelerates, using personal anecdotes about a dog and a sung lullaby. Quotes on accelerating change and gentle reminders to notice inner and outer states.
It is always worth the moment to consider how you're doing and the world in which you are existing in. If you want to experience peace, it's in this moment. Because the next moment is going to get more and more chaotic.
Mel Myers: Be in the moment that you're in. Speed Corner says the morning air has a buzz of back to school spice. Nora Ephron says she would give someone a bouquet of sharpened pencils. Spread it around, y'all.
Hey. Hey, Cadre. How are we doing? How are you doing today? I hope you're doing great. I really, really, really, really do. I hope you're doing great. But if you're not doing great, know that that is okay, too. It's. And where I am, it's a pretty peaceful morning outside. Peaceful mornings on the outside doesn't always equate to peaceful mornings on the inside. Or you may be feeling incredibly peaceful on the inside when the world outside is kind of mucky or dreary. A triple B. Hey. Speak. Wonder Amar.
How y' all doing? Nice to see you. It is always worth the moment to consider how you're doing and the world in which you are existing in. Those two things have to coexist and they may not align. So how are you doing? And how is the world outside? Line those things up. Tdorth. Nice to see you, my friend. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. Say my old puppy dog, Hamilton, who I speak about a lot, especially lately, because he's not doing super well, There's a song I sing to him every single day.
Actually, there's a song I sing to each of my three dogs each day. They each have their own song, but this is Hamilton's song and goes like this. Sometimes the days, they can be very busy, so I like to stop and think now and then. I think of the reasons I have to be happy and that makes me happy all over again. What made you think that I was unhappy? What were you thinking was making me blue? I only come out here to sit and remember. I love being a dog in the warm, sunny summer. But mostly I'm happy because I have you.
So that's Hampton's song. It's from a musical that most people haven't heard of or won't ever see. But I love that song and it's Hamilton song. It's called Alone. You can find it being sung by Jay Goad, G O E D E on the streaming Services or the YouTubes or whatever. You know, one of my favorite quotes, Beth Comstock said in 2019, that change is happening slower now than it's ever going to happen again. So if you want to experience peace, it's in this moment. Because the world is going to spin faster.
More information is going to be accessed and available. We're going to be more efficient. So innately, if you want to experience the least amount of chaos, it is in this moment right now. Because the next moment is going to get more and more chaotic. Now, you may be going, ah, but the good thing is we will continue to grow and adapt and be better at dealing with all the things that are going on. And that's why it feels like it goes like this. But change is ever accelerating. And I think of that song that I sing to Hamilton.
It's about being where you are with what you got and honoring it. I sing it to Hamilton, and Hamilton looks at me and he kind of sings it back to me in his own little doggy way. But we're really saying to each other is this is the moment that we're in. Let's be in the midst of it. Mel Myers, good morning to you, too, wherever you are, whatever's going on, I hope you nourish in the moment that you are in for this Friday, for tomorrow, for the day after, for the week, the month, the year after. Be in the moment that you're in.
Because this is the most peace right here. If you don't feel it, slow down just for a second. And there it is. Speed Corner says the morning air has a buzz of back to school spice. Sharpened pencils, PJs, chalk, poured dust. Yeah. Nora Ephron says and you've got mail that there's that she would give someone a bouquet of sharpened pencils. We're definitely in the bouquet of sharpened pencil. Season and T north. Yes, I agree. That ability to take the moment that you're in, it is the greatest help, the greatest gift that we can be given and that we can give others.
Spread it around, y'. All. Talk to you later.
