Sometimes we come across content that makes us pause, nod, and even talk out loud.
Whenever that happens, it’s a sign of resonance.
And when something resonates with you, the reason why isn’t always obvious.
Sometimes, sure, it resonates because it just plain makes sense and you agree.
But, other times, it might be more than that.
Other times, it might be resonating from a chord that was struck deeper inside of you.
And in this case, using that content as a means to do some inner exploration can yield tremendous insights.
Insights that help you better understand why you think and act the way you do.
Insights that have the potential to shift the direction of your life when they’re realized from a deep enough place.
But, if all you ever do when you pause, nod, and talk to yourself is keep scrolling… you’ll forget. And the resonance will fade.
And what a shame that would be for your future self. The one that’s depending on you to take care of them.
What if instead, we made space each day to explore the things that resonated with us—in both the good ways and the bad.
Because there are (should) be things each day that strike our chords (if not, you need to subscribe to more interesting content).
What I have found to be true sometimes is, the more time I have to think about it… the deeper the reasons why might be buried.
So be patient. Relentlessly block out distractions and potential interruptions. And dig.
This work is too important. This work is too often overlooked. This work is the work of the wise.
