"There's something in the very small minutia of life that tells us something about the big, big picture that we see every day all over the place, and so I think the more specific and creative and revelatory you are in the micro, the more powerful the macro will be." ~ Philip Seymour Hoffman
 
“When we harness the power of the micro and the macro perspective, we’re able to let go, release tension, and live more fully. The big picture isn’t the only answer. While zooming out helps us remember our why, zooming in helps us focus on how. It allows us to let go of overwhelm as we live in the zen of one task on our mountain at a time.” -Kendra Nielson
 
"The most important thing for us to do as beings is to be aware of our position in the world on a micro and macro level." ~ Zola Jesus

God is the Gardener | Hugh B. Brown | BYU Speeches 
 
“Now some of you as you go forward are going to meet with disappointment—perhaps many disappointments, some of them crucial. Sometimes you will wonder if God has forgotten you. Sometimes you may even wonder if He lives and where He has gone. But in these times when so many are saying God is dead and when so many are denying His existence, I think I could not leave with you a better message than this: God is aware of you individually. He knows who you are and what you are, and, furthermore, He knows what you are capable of becoming. Be not discouraged, then, if you do not get all the things you want just when you want them. Have the courage to go on and face your life and, if necessary, reverse it to bring it into harmony with His law.”
 
“Could I tell you just a quick story out of my own experience in life? Sixty-odd years ago I was on a farm in Canada. I had purchased the farm from another who had been somewhat careless in keeping it up. I went out one morning and found a currant bush that was at least six feet high. I knew that it was going all to wood. There was no sign of blossom or of fruit. I had had some experience in pruning trees before we left Salt Lake to go to Canada, as my father had a fruit farm. So I got my pruning shears and went to work on that currant bush, and I clipped it and cut it and cut it down until there was nothing left but a little clump of stumps.
 
And as I looked at them, I yielded to an impulse, which I often have, to talk with inanimate things and have them talk to me. It’s a ridiculous habit. It’s one I can’t overcome. As I looked at this little clump of stumps, there seemed to be a tear on each one, and I said, “What’s the matter, currant bush? What are you crying about?”
 
And I thought I heard that currant bush speak. It seemed to say, “How could you do this to me? I was making such wonderful growth. I was almost as large as the fruit tree and the shade tree, and now you have cut me down. And all in the garden will look upon me with contempt and pity. How could you do it? I thought you were the gardener here.”
 
I thought I heard that from the currant bush. I thought it so much that I answered it.
 
I said, “Look, little currant bush, I am the gardener here, and I know what I want you to be. If I let you go the way you want to go, you will never amount to anything. But someday, when you are laden with fruit, you are going to think back and say, ‘Thank you, Mr. Gardener, for cutting me down, for loving me enough to hurt me.’”
 
Ten years passed, and I found myself in Europe. I had made some progress in the First World War in the Canadian army. In fact, I was a field officer, and there was only one man between me and the rank of general, which I had cherished in my heart for years. Then he became a casualty. And the day after, I received a telegram from London from General Turner, who was in charge of all Canadian officers. The telegram said, “Be in my office tomorrow morning at ten o’clock.”
 
I puffed up. I called my special servant. (We called them “batmen” over there.) I said, “Polish my boots and my buttons. Make me look like a general, because I am going up tomorrow to be appointed.”
 
He did the best he could with what he had to work on, and I went to London. I walked into the office of the general. I saluted him smartly, and he replied to my salute as higher officers usually do to juniors—sort of a “Get out of the way, worm.” Then he said, “Sit down, Brown.”
 
I was deflated. I sat down. And he said, “Brown, you are entitled to this promotion, but I cannot make it. You have qualified and passed the regulations, you have had the experience, and you are entitled to it in every way, but I cannot make this appointment.”
 
Just then he went into the other room to answer a phone call, and I did what most every officer and man in the army would do under those circumstances: I looked over on his desk to see what my personal history sheet showed. And I saw written on the bottom of that history sheet in large capital letters: “THIS MAN IS A MORMON.”
 
Now at that time we were hated heartily in Britain, and I knew why he couldn’t make the appointment. Finally he came back and said, “That’s all, Brown.”
 
I saluted him, less heartily than before, and went out. On my way back to Shorncliffe, 120 kilometers away, I thought every turn of the wheels that clacked across the rails was saying, “You’re a failure. You must go home and be called a coward by those who do not understand.”
 
And bitterness rose in my heart until I arrived, finally, in my tent, and I rather vigorously threw my cap on the cot, together with my Sam Browne belt. I clenched my fist, and I shook it at heaven, and I said, “How could you do this to me, God? I’ve done everything that I knew how to do to uphold the standards of the Church. I was making such wonderful growth, and now you’ve cut me down. How could you do it?”
 
And then I heard a voice. It sounded like my own voice, and the voice said, “I am the gardener here. I know what I want you to be. If I let you go the way you want to go, you will never amount to anything. And someday, when you are ripened in life, you are going to shout back across the time and say, ‘Thank you, Mr. Gardener, for cutting me down, for loving me enough to hurt me.’”
 
Those words—which I recognize now as my words to the currant bush and that had become God’s word to me—drove me to my knees, where I prayed for forgiveness for my arrogance and my ambition.
 
As I was praying there, I heard some Mormon boys in an adjoining tent singing the closing number to an M.I.A. session, which I usually attended with them. And I recognized these words, which all of you have memorized:
 
It may not be on the mountain height
Or over the stormy sea;
It may not be at the battle’s front
My Lord will have need of me;
But if, by a still, small voice he calls
To paths that I do not know,
I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine:
I’ll go where you want me to go.
. . .
So trusting my all to thy tender care,
And knowing thou lovest me,
I’ll do thy will with a heart sincere;
I’ll be what you want me to be.
[“It May Not Be on the Mountain Height,” Hymns,1948, no. 75]
 
My young friends and brothers and sisters, will you remember that little experience that changed my whole life? Had the Gardener not taken control and done for me what was best for me, or if I had gone the way I wanted to go, I would have returned to Canada as a senior commanding officer of western Canada. I would have raised my family in a barracks. My six daughters would have had little chance to marry in the Church. I myself would probably have gone down and down. I do not know what might have happened, but this I know, and this I say to you and to Him in your presence, looking back over sixty years: “Thank you, Mr. Gardener, for cutting me down.” 
 
“Whatever undertakings may demand of you and of your attention, I tell you… you cannot make a better resolution today than this: “I am going to keep close to the Lord. I am going to understand Him better, and, understanding Him, I will understand myself and will try to put my life into harmony with His.” For I have come to know that every man and every woman has potential godhood dwelling in him, for God is in reality the Father of us all.

Are you ever amazed at the strengths of others and wish you had what they had? But YOU find it difficult to focus your strengths because it’s hard to even identify them?

“It’s not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” -Audre Lorde
 
Why it’s important to know and understand values:
To understand what is most important to you 
To protect and defend what is most important to you (set up boundaries)
To be more empathetic and respectful towards others values
To assertively and unapologetically stand up for your values and others
To teach others how to stand up for their own values with confidence
To live more congruently with your values and have great peace, joy, and fulfillment.
Congruence: agreement or harmony; compatibility.
 
“Core values are the deeply held beliefs that authentically describe your soul.” -John C. Maxwell
 
“If you don’t stick to your values when they’re being tested, then they’re not values: they’re hobbies.” -Jon Stewart
 
“We should not allow our personal values to erode, even if others think we’re peculiar.” -James E. Faust
 
“Don’t compromise on your values to please others. Keep your self respect intact and walk away.” -Unknown
 
“Personal leadership is the process of keeping your vision and values before you and aligning your life to be congruent with them.” -Stephen Covey
 
“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” -Roy E. Disney
 
“Integrity: Choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.” -Brene Brown

If you're ready for accelerated transformation, I'm launching Igniting Life on August 20th. This is a 12 week mental health and wellness reset for individuals who are ready for change in clear, step-by-step ways with necessary weekly accountability. If you’re ready to ignite your life and really start loving life again, this is the course for you. I guarantee that the investment you make will be returned tenfold with tried and true therapeutic techniques, strategies, and tools from an invested, trustworthy source. Your compound growth is waiting for you to make a commitment. It’s like I would tell my personal training clients: every dollar you spend on self growth is mathematically proven to save you in future mental and physical health costs. So truly, sign up now or you’ll pay for it many times over in the future, but without the joyful benefits. You truly won’t regret investing in my mental health and wellness. I never have–even when some courses were less beneficial because they showed me what else I needed. And since I’ve taken so many, I’ll go above and beyond. Guaranteed.

“If you can raise somebody’s level of positivity in the present then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage which is that your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral, or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise. …Your brain at positive is 31% more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.  …We’ve found that there are way that you can train your brain to become more positive. In just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row, you can actually rewire your brain, allowing your brain to actually work more optimistically and more successfully.” -Shawn Achor Ted Talk (went to Harvard and has spoken to ⅓ of fortune 500 companies
 
“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.” -Steve Jobs
 
“Habits are like financial capital – forming one today is an investment that will automatically give out returns for years to come.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“Each one of us is like the butterfly Butterfly Effect. Each tiny move toward a more positive mindset can send ripples of positivity through our organizations, our families, and our communities.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“Constantly scanning the world for the negative comes with a great cost. It undercuts our creativity, raises our stress levels, and lowers our motivation and ability to accomplish goals.”
― Shawn Achor
 
“Without action, knowledge is often meaningless. As Aristotle put it, to be excellent we cannot simply think or feel excellent, we must act excellently.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“For me, happiness is the joy we feel striving after our potential.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“We’ve all heard the usual examples: Michael Jordan cut from his high school basketball team, Walt Disney fired by a newspaper editor for not being creative enough, the Beatles turned away by a record executive who told them that “guitar groups are on their way out.” In fact, many of their winning mantras essentially describe the notion of falling up: “I’ve failed over and over again in my life,” Jordan once said, “and that is why I succeed.” Robert F. Kennedy said much the same: “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” And Thomas Edison, too, once claimed that he had failed his way to success.”

“Studies have found that American teenagers are two and half times more likely to experience elevated enjoyment when engaged in a hobby than when watching TV, and three times more likely when playing a sport. And yet here’s the paradox: These same teenagers spend four times as many hours watching TV as they do engaging in sports or hobbies.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“What we spend our time and mental energy focusing on can indeed become our reality.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“Perhaps the most accurate term for happiness, then, is the one Aristotle used: eudaimonia, which translates not directly to “happiness” but to “human flourishing.” This definition really resonates with me because it acknowledges that happiness is not all about yellow smiley faces and rainbows. For me, happiness is the joy we feel striving after our potential.”
