Friday Morning FYI – 8/28/2015

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI – my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI comes from Will Smith. Yes, the Will Smith who did ‘After Earth’. I know. But he posted this to Facebook a few days ago, and it rings true:

The only sustainable relationship between two people is one in which both of you Individually reach for your Higher Selves. If someone is not willing to reach for the greatest, most Awesome, Loving & Productive version of themselves, you must lovingly move on – leaving them behind – trusting them to find their own way.

Thanks Will (and ‘After Earth’ wasn’t that bad).

Thanks for reading,

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI – my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI comes from a pleasant reflection on a recent but feels-long-ago event:

Reciprocation is not inspiration. When someone does something nice for you, don’t just return the gesture, let it inspire you to something greater.

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI – my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is a quote ripped from a brief text conversation I had a few days ago with the brilliant Tabitha Lord (follow her blog here). We were discussing pics of us at WDC15 Writer’s Digest posted to their Facebook page, and I noted how great it is she’s always smiling. This was her response:

My trick: I surround myself with people I really, really like 😀

Words to live by, people.

Welcome to your Friday Morning FYI – I’ll-be-attending-the-Writers-Digest-Conference-in-NYC-this-weekend-so-find-me-and-say-hi! edition – my chance to share observations/wisdom/rants in short, easily consumed form.

This week’s FYI is about progressing through life, not regressing:

Sometimes reaching out is just reaching back, and back is never helpful. Forward is the only way to go.

This week’s FYI is a reflective bit of philosophy that came to me one night while eating (dark chocolate) Raisinettes:

All memories have an element of sadness to them. Even the most pleasant recollection brings with it an unresolvable longing; a need to be in that place, in that time, with those people, doing that thing. This is why living ‘in-the-moment’ is so vital to a healthy mind – to combat the bad, haunting points in our past, and to erect shelter from the gravity of the good and great.

Where are you right now?

Thanks for reading,
