Day 2,836

Growth:

Somehow my Apple Music offered up an interesting musical list this morning. I clicked on the playlist and was quickly rewarded with some very catchy new songs pumping through my speaker. It didn’t take long to realize that there was a little bit of an issue though. All the songs were in another language!

Rather than worry about the language barrier I opted to let the music roll. It was an interesting experiment, listening to the music and the emotion behind the voice. One song in particular was mind blowing! Check it out here without the lyrics so you get it the same way I initially did:

Then, if you want to get the lyrics you can watch this version:

What I really learned today was how music has the ability to transcend language. There are certain emotions which can be expressed musically which do not need language to clarify. In some ways the lyrics can almost get in the way of the beauty of the song.

Appreciation:

This morning I had a phone interview with a potential candidate for one of my teams. At one point I kind of had to pinch myself. As they explained what they were looking for in their next career I couldn’t help but realize each point they made was one I am blessed to live into each day. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help others in finding their next career while growing and developing my teams. There’s never a dull moment and so many rewarding times, a wonderful balance of challenge and purpose.

Presence:

As the storm was about to roll in Gavin asked if we could head out to Nelson Park to watch it crash into us from over Lake Onalaska like we’ve done in the past. We did and it was awesome! A wonderful moment of enjoying the raw power of mother nature with Gavin and Dominic. Thanks for the excellent idea Gavin!

Thanks!!!
