The best work...

Paid subscribers scroll to the bottom for the audio of me reading today’s post.

I was recently talking with a friend and as I was processing out loud I said to her, "when I think of what it is I really want to do with my (working) time, I want to write, think, create and teach.”

I stopped after saying it.

I realized I needed to write this down in my journal because this was it. My subconscious mind gave me the words that I had been trying to articulate for weeks.

What I love most in my work is time to think so that I can create and write which helps me to be a better teacher/speaker. I want to share space with a community of humans on the journey of living life fully and intentionally. This is what I want, this is my desire and here I am less than two weeks after stating those words committed to make it happen.

I’m in the beginning phase of two important projects (I’ll share the process with paid subscribers), I am preparing to host the Best Today® Conference in December, and I am committed to making more space and time to think and write in between. I am committed to engaging with those on the journey and I am excited about it!

I read these words last week in Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being and I have referenced it many times since. The best work is the work that I am excited about and today as I sit in this chair navy blue chair starting For Those on the Journey, I am excited!

I am excited to have one place to share the many things that wake me up in the middle of the morning (almost always 3:33 a.m. it seems), the thoughts that help me to challenge the ways of this world and culture that we live in, and the things I know to be true when it comes to living a life of health, joy, and intention.

This space is not a one way street. I welcome your questions, your thoughts, and your engagement.

The work that I am currently excited about:

Thinking: time to be still and reflect so that I am creating and writing from a thoughtful, authentic and meaningful space.

Writing: writing for you right here at For Those on the Journey and writing life-changing books!

Creating: creating products, in person events, podcast episodes at the Best Today® Podcast (and Conversations For Those on the Journey here for paid subscribers), and additional resources for Best Today® customers worldwide.

Teaching: speaking at meaningful and aligned events, training for mission-led organizations, hosting Best Today® Conferences and workshops, and engaging with this community and the Best Today® Community.

I am drinking my own teaching and spending time getting clear on what I want. It is evolving. I can sense it, I can feel it. And honoring it is my only choice.
