Be there

Great value exists in the immediate physical presence of other people, places, and activities. Although remote, virtual experiences can be quite rich, they are never the same as being there.

From thirty thousand feet the world looks one way, and at ground level it looks significantly different. It’s useful to see the big picture, and also good to get in close.

High resolution video and clear, crisp audio connections enable you to quickly and easily reach across the world at negligible cost. As amazing as that can be, it can never replace the deep resonance of sharing the same space with another person.

Even when you don’t have to be there, especially when you don’t have to be there, it can mean a great deal to be there nonetheless. You are an embodied creature, a social creature through and through, and many benefits accrue when you act on those truths.

A photograph of the forest is nice, yet a walk through the forest is superior by orders of magnitude. As thoughtful as a phone call can be, a personal visit could end up being life changing.

The time and trouble necessary to be there serve as powerful signals to yourself and others. Look for opportunities to actively express the truth that life is precious, and be there to live it in person.

Ability to imagine

Imagination is not a trivial thing. Give it the seriousness it deserves.

When you imagine, put time and effort into it. Imagine in specific detail, with feeling, purpose and depth.

What you create, what you accomplish, starts with what you imagine. To achieve excellence, begin by imagining all the particulars of the excellence you seek to reach.

Your imagination can give you significant power over your thoughts, your perceptions, your actions, your life and your world. Employ it responsibly, respectfully, soberly, and with the highest of expectations.

A whole lot of failures are primarily failures of imagination. And every success rests firmly on the ability to imagine.

There are infinite possibilities you have not yet considered. Activate fully your imagination, and bring the best of them to life.
