I rave no more 'gainst time nor fate | Finding the NEXTLevel

In today's episode, we dive into a thought-provoking poem by John Burroughs called "Waiting." This poem resonates with me because it reminds us of the importance of being serene and patient in our lives. Burroughs beautifully captures the essence of not worrying about external circumstances and instead trusting that what is meant for us will come to us in its own time and in the right way.

As I read through the lines of the poem, I can't help but feel a sense of calmness washing over me. It serves as a gentle reminder to not get caught up in the anxieties of life, but rather to have faith in the process and trust that everything will unfold as it should.

What's interesting is that these same lines from Burroughs' poem can also be found in a book that I highly recommend called "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. This book delves into the concept that our outcomes, whether good or bad, are determined by the small, daily actions we take. It's not about the external factors like the wind, tide, or sea, but rather the seemingly insignificant tasks that we have control over.

The message behind "The Slight Edge" aligns perfectly with the sentiment of Burroughs' poem. It emphasizes the importance of consistently doing these small, simple tasks, as they compound over time and make all the difference in achieving success, whether it's in our personal lives or professional endeavors.

So I encourage each and every one of you listening to focus on doing good work, little by little, day after day. Remember, it's the consistent actions that will lead us to success, not the grand gestures or external circumstances. By staying committed to our goals and consistently showing up, we have the power to create the life we desire.

Thank you for tuning in, and I hope that this episode has inspired you to embrace the wisdom of "Waiting" and implement the principles of "The Slight Edge" in your own life. Keep pushing forward and remember that great things happen when we focus on doing good work.
