Magic, really?
Here’s what you might be thinking: Magic is a childish word; certainly not one I want to use regularly, especially around other adults. I get it. Putting the word “magic” out there feels more than a little uncomfortable. But, I also believe we’ve all experienced at least one “magical” moment in our lives. These are the moments we revisit in our memories and wish we could experience more similar moments. Consider a world where you experience and create more of these types of moments.
As you read, I invite you to consider the possibility of magic:
-
- What desire do you want to turn into reality?
- What unique skill do you have to offer others around you?
- What if work and life were just a little more fun or whimsical?
