From mom: To You

A few days ago, after watching a video from the great Seth Godin, I landed..

on some thoughts.. 

Surfers need surf, surf is what makes the surfer.

The current. The waves. 

Surfers are pushed by a certain flow of water. (The right waves make a difference)

As I thought..

I remembered..

one of my mother’s biggest lessons

“Be careful of your surroundings.” 

Mom was saying: The direction you go in life, has a lot to do with who and what you’re around. 

In Seth’s video he used an analogy of taking something you’re working on and placing it where the waves are. Find where the current is already flowing for the thing you want to do, in the direction you want to go.

You are a surfer, where is the surf? Where are the systems in place for you to succeed?

The more I thought about these messages the more I thought about generosity. 

Do you have a system in place that will lead you to be a more generous person?

Where are the most generous people you know? Who and what are they surrounding themselves with? 

Can you join the wave?

“Be careful of your surroundings.”

That is what makes you.
