Enoughness 101

[Music] Good morning, cadre! [Music] A little peaceful, easy James Taylor to kick us into our weekend. By golly, this light is weird bright. Oh, now it's weird yellow. You're weird. Okay. There we go. Let's try that light. That feels a little bit better. How are you, Mel? How's the light shine in your world? Chris Fortman, Jenny, nice to see you all. How are we doing? [Music] Well, let James Taylor play us to the chorus. Jules, nice to see you. Happy Saturday. Maffy! [Music] Yeah, we'll hit the pause button.

A little James Taylor secret. Oh, life. Since we're only here for a while. Might as well kick on back. Thanks, James Taylor, for the invitation, for the reminder. It is indeed Saturday. It is indeed September. We've swung right into another chapter of the mind. All of a sudden, summer may start to feel like it has happened, even though it's still happening. But you may go, "I feel like I'm in a different place, or I'm craving different things, or I'm noticing different voices in my head, or different opportunities that I'm presenting."

Yeah, the world is always shifting. That is, as James Taylor would say, the secret. Oh, life. C. If we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time with you right now. It truly is a gift. I'm glad that I'm here. I'm glad that you're here. I know what I know, and I care about you. Seventeen words kick us off. Each and every time we jump in for a little good morning cadre. That's the secret, oh, cadre. People who are glad to see one another. I actually had some chips and dip with a cadre member earlier on this week.

Someone who I never knew before cadre, and all of a sudden, because we connected here, that relationship brought us into sharing conversation in reality. cadre is flipping some paradigms on top of its head, one of them being that social media is not powerful connection, or real connection, or worthy connection. I don't know, y'all. I can see a name on a screen like this and not know who you are or where you are, but to feel connected to you. And that is the first half of those seventeen words. I'm glad I'm here.

I'm glad you're here. I know what I know. We risk to go ahead and say, hey, we know one another. And we know things. And those things that we know, because we care about one another, become powerful. They stoke our curiosity and our courage. They bring us to a place of consideration. And lastly, I'm glad I'm here and glad you're here. I know what I know and I care about you. We risk to say, hey, I care about how you're doing. Whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, it is true.

And that is enough. The world may say tomorrow needs to be faster, stronger, clear. The world may say, we need to grow. We need to learn more. We need to have more answers and have less questions tomorrow than we did yesterday. And the secret of life is that the world's going to continue shifting on us, that even though we may be one day older, the world that we're living in may be one that we've never experienced before. So it's idea of enoughness. It's idea of, in this moment, you are capable of doing something that is worthy and impactful.

That's the secret of you. You have the capacity to go right now. Here's what I have at my fingertips. Here's what I know. Here's what I can accomplish. Here's what I can't accomplish. Here's what I don't know. Here's what I literally have no power control over it, nor can I win this game. Enoughness invites us to see the power and all of those things that we can and all those things that we can't. And from that position, from that very, very structured aperture, where we go, this is where we are.

This is what we know. From that moment, we regain our power. So no matter where you are today, no matter what's going on, whether it's a full tank, an empty tank kind of day, whether it's your run-in or your dragon. Not like dragging like, "I'm a dragon," but dragging like, "I'm dragon." You are enough. And that's not belittling. That's not pandering. That's not tapping on your head and giving me a lollipop. I'd say, "And right now, you are enough to do something." So damn it, go figure out what it is.

And I'll see you tomorrow from my Mazda, from the gas station parking lot. Because no matter where we are, no matter what's going on, we have the capacity to make some pretty, pretty cool connections and do some pretty, pretty cool things. Back to James Taylor.
