SAMPLER PLATTER

We want it all. All the time. And, we want it right here. Right now.

But what if all we get is a taste--a taste of this, a taste of that--because the taste IS the all? To “taste” something is to experience the “all” of it right here right now--just for this moment--which is all we have, right?

What if there really is nothing to miss out on out there? What if FOMO is just a figment of our own misguided imaginations and emotions? In this particular moment, all we can experience is whatever is part of this particular moment--and even here only the part that we happen to clue in on--like a photographer who can only capture one shot among infinite possibilities. What if living a FOMO existence is like sleeping with the enemy where FOMO itself causes us to miss out on what really does matter--what’s right here right now--the unique profile of beauty, joy and generosity that’s inside each of us.

Maybe the reason we’re tempted to go for the sampler platter in the restaurant isn’t just because we can’t make up our mind. Maybe it’s not because of our FOMO. Maybe it’s because, at a deeper level, that’s what life (and this day) is...a sampler platter.

TODAY.

LET'S GIVE THE WORLD & OURSELVES A GIFT.

LET'S TAKE TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE THINK.
