If you’ve followed this blog for a while you know that most of my blog posts are intended to deal with issues of marketing, branding, philanthropy, etc. Every once in a while I throw out a few random thoughts, just to prompt conversation or stimulate thought.
This week a young friend of mine died of cancer at the age of 34. He had chronicled his courageous journey for the past year or so and helped teach many about the importance of love and gratitude and a sense of humor. His passing caused me to remember a piece of art hanging in a local university that offers an interpretation of a children’s song. I’ve recreated it above. Take a look at the phrases in parenthesis.
- Engage with your life
- Go with the flow
- Enjoy the ride
- It’s all temporary
No matter what challenge you face in this moment, I hope you find inspiration in this simple song. Remember, life is but a dream.
