Who—Is More Important Than Right Now?

Heart

Friend, what are the moments that refuse to fade for you—the ones that branded themselves into your soul?

Who shaped you, steadied you, or changed your trajectory?

I’ll give you one of mine.

I’ll never forget it. It’s fully seared well-done across my heart ♨️ 

My grandpa was a great dude. Sharp.

As a senior citizen he was mayor of large growing suburban city, triple term 12-year guy 👍️ 

That was decades ago, he fought his fair share of city conflicts trying to balance big developers, budgets, city ordinances, and egos.

Now, it’s a top city to live in the nation.

In his late 80’s his health slipped and was dying, fading in and out of coherent consciousness.

Or maybe he was completely present and dialed into the final fading rainbow? 🤯🌈 Possible?

The standing governor of the state came to the house to thank him one last time for his years of transformational public service.

So my grandma (she made some mean fried chicken btw) led Mr. Governor to the back room, knocked on the door.

“Honeeey”, she said, “Theron, wake up, are you there? You have a visitor, there’s a VERY important person here to see you.”

My grandpa swallowed, head still locked on the popcorn ceiling and said, “I never met a person who wasn’t important.”

Hmm. Hmmm. I cerebrally understand that. But do I live that?

Whomever I'm with in that moment, they may not be the most important person OF my life, but they are most important IN my life—at that time.

Can I treat them as such? Do I?

I noticed it takes my son 3x saying ‘Dad?’ to lock my attention. Too bad, because that exchange was the most important time of my life, that moment.

What if I lock on the first ‘Dad??”

What if I don’t have to be: “Dad of the Year”?

What if I don’t need: ‘World’s Best Dad’ mug?

Could I just be ‘Dad of the dinner table?’
Or
‘Dad of the Lego building moment’?

Could ‘Dad of the Day’ be more powerful than World’s Best?

You don’t have to conquer depression and anxiety » Whew! » Just peace and clarity in this moment.

You don’t have to beat that addiction, you don’t have to double your business this year » Whew! » Just make a gain today.

Tap tap nudge nudge, one well placed rainbow brick at a time → today 💯 🧱 

You don’t even have to ace college algebra 1050. Just dominate your homework → today.

You don’t have to save your marriage. I know you are trying so hard. So hard. But you don’t have to » Whew! » That’s a relief 😮‍💨 

Instead of World’s Best Lover/Partner/Spouse? What about—of the day?

Really, isn’t that all we can truthfully offer anyway?

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed folks 💯 

So show up today. Stack miracles today. Shine at 27M degrees. Why Friend?

Because the world needs who you were meant to be. So be it, today.

Mind 🌞 

Every transformation in nature happens the same way:
one tiny event repeated so many times it becomes cosmic.

The Sun doesn’t explode its way into brilliance!

It fuses two particles at a time—just two—but it does it trillions upon trillions of times every second until the sky is lit and the solar system orbits its glow 🤯 

Not through force
Through repetition of one focused moment
Through the smallest possible action
Done again and again until it becomes a star

Soul ⚡️
