Music and Life - "Every Life Has a Soundtrack"

One of my favorite Brett Eldredge songs is "Wanna Be That Song" (link below), and one of the verses in his lyrics is "every life has a soundtrack."

I do believe this to be true!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I listen regularly to Ed Mylett and one of his interviews this month was with Brett Eldredge; so of course, I was super eager to listen. (link below)

Ed talks about life as an art form, and makes the point that all of us are artists. There is a creative process to life, "as we go deeper into who we are, what we stand for, and what we believe."

Brett shares a lot about pressures, flow state, and being a "recovering perfectionist." He shares about his structure and routines of putting on his "armor" in the morning, setting intentions, journaling, going on hikes, as well as limiting phone time. Not too many talk about the limiting of phone time, as it relates to their "routines," and I am a huge advocate for limiting phone time, as well as computer time. He goes on to emphasize the importance of getting out of one's head and into one's life, and just "being."

Faith and Action

In my previous post I mentioned the topic "faith and action." Ed Mylett is one of my favorites to listen to on this topic, as Ed is a "man of faith," and he knows all about action. I am thrilled that he wrote a book, which will be coming out next month ("The Power of One More"); and though I have not had much time lately to read books, this is one I am looking forward to reading.

Talking with so many people daily, and with so many in the hospitality industry struggling on many levels, I thought this would be a great video to post for those feeling "stuck" in this "season" of their lives.. (link below)

Ed shares some great insights and perspectives on the following:

• "Outlast the Temporary"

• Vision and Peace

• Congruency of Thoughts and Actions

• Servant leadership

• Trials and Tribulations

• Emotions and Intentions

• Inspiration and Aspiration

• Memories, Moments, Contribution

A great Napolean Hill quote he mentions: "If the first plan which you adopt does not work successfully, replace it with a new plan; if this new plan fails to work, replace it in turn with still another, and so on, until you find a plan which does work. Right here is the point at which the majority of men meet with failure, because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail..."

Woman at The Well

In my last blog post, I wrote about the "desert road."

Whatever one may think about their own experience(s) of a desert road, mostly all will agree that they think of being "thirsty," and wanting water.

One of my favorite women in the Bible is the Woman at the Well. A favorite song of mine is found on the link below:

The Woman at the Well scene is one of my favorite scenes in "The Chosen" - Episode 8. For those who have not seen "The Chosen," the acting is great, and the series is awesome!

"It won't matter where you worship, but only that you do it, in spirit and truth, heart and mind."
