Positive Energy: Xavier Rudd’s Honeymoon Bay

I discovered Xavier Rudd years ago, but during the quarantine, I’ve started binging his music. I find his music fills me with joy and with hope. Check out one of my current favorites.

Lyrics: 
Angels flying, wind at her heels
Serpents gliding, nothing revealed
Full back circles
I believe, I believe
It’s my beginning, woah, oh, oh

 

Gone are those winters
Gone are those days
Gone are those choices, to be recklessly brave
I’m guided by angels,
Decided by choice
It’s my beginning, woah, oh, oh

 

I believe, I believe, I believe
Woah, oh, oh, oh
We are young, we can fly, we are free
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Take a chance, take a chance
And see
Woah, oh, oh, oh
I believe, come believe with me
Woah, oh, oh, oh

 

Honeymoon waters, Honeymoon Bay
Safe to assume now,
That we’re on our way
Sweetwater turtle, mingly roads
It’s our beginning,
Woah, oh, oh

 

A dream of stories, etched in the stone
Time to dream now and create our own
Forgotten by angels

Quote of the Day: Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett - Say No
The art of saying “no” by Warren Buffett

“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”

― Warren Buffett

 

Mr. Buffett’s quote resonates with me a couple of ways.

  • It’s so easy to get caught up in busyness that we lose sight of effectiveness.
  • Focus is key. Stephen Covey phrased it as “area of influence” vs. “area of concern”. We spread our focus away from the places where we can make an impact, we lose our effectiveness.
  • A good friend of mine has a phrase “don’t step over dollars to get to nickles”. Keep your eyes on your goals, and let that determine what’s important.
  • We must spend time reminding ourselves what’s important, on where we are trying to go.
  • Lastly, life is short. Focus it on what’s important.
