ordinary miracles
I love the big moments we celebrate, like graduations, new jobs, and athletic accomplishments, to name a few. These are our social feed moments, and when I was younger, I thought these would lead to happiness.
when we realize we won the lottery
When you step back, like all the way back beyond the cheap seats, and think about the universe, how lucky are we?!?
Mindful Everyday Moment: #81 the miracle of birth
This moment doesn't happen every day, but it's a moment I think of every day. Watching my wife give birth to our daughters is the most awe-inspiring thing I've witnessed.
Mindful Everyday Moments - #100: Sidewalk chalk
Unlike graffiti, which Michael appreciates, sidewalk chalk is fleeting, like every moment. It's here for a moment until it fades away by the wind or rain, and it's easy to miss when our vision narrows.
a case for compassion
Michael has always wondered why we've held tech companies in such high esteem regarding leadership and culture. So when the company that brought us "psychological safety" laid off 12,000 employees by email, he was sad but not surprised.
It's funny how true character always reveals itself during stressful times.
