What a little of, can sweeten ...

The connection is what matters, not the trivia.
Though often the trivia, the minor details, obstruct the inner view.

From squares and circles to triangles.
Direction. Hierarchy. Layers. And all while maintaining structure and symmetry.

Not to waste is to save.
Every little bit adds up. Anything not wasted can often be used elsewhere or by someone else.

Old experiences, new insights.
Revisit, relive, and reflect the spectrum of ones experiences. Some events shine through illuminating the way ahead.

Soothe the senses. Shoo troubles away.
Travel back to evoke powerful memories of something special once experienced - whether seen, heard, smelt, tasted, and touched. All of these in turn to reach a more perfect place anytime.

"Keep right except to pass"
Road signs marking speed lanes and the merging ramps. Or the freedom of dirt roads and freeways. On which types roads and at what speeds do we usually enjoy spending our lives.

Take the extra step.
Do something more than what is necessary or required. The next time around it will be a bit easier and a bit more organized to do.

Allow goodness to shine through.
Feel the burden lighten when one finds it. Be inspired by the good work and the gentle words spoken by those selflessly doing important things.

In kind or otherwise, involving giving and benefiting everyone involved to some degree.

Consider opposites from different perspectives and contexts.
Often a net gain may be achieved by increasing the positive and decreasing the negative. Working on just one dimension is often easier, indeed a lot of the effort is spent on doing just that. Consider other perspectives and contexts as well for a better understanding of what is being attempted. Encourage and reward what works. Acknowledge what doesn't so that with effort and time if possible its effects can be reduced.

Encapsulate the spectrum of feelings a topic evokes with gentleness . . .
... in word and tone. Something most everyone will acknowledge, whether reasonable or absurd. Especially the absurd.

To see the world as it could be ...
... one needs vision and insight. To step beyond what can be seen, into the realm of possibility and insight.

Organize space and time.
Plan to file so that it is easy to retrieve, remember and repeat even when it is difficult to do so. Plan the calendar so that items of priority, urgency and routine are well accommodated.

The past is the foundation for the future.
As is the present. Strengthen the future, by strengthening what we have now.

The correct path may not be the shortest, the easiest, or the safest
It may not even be the correct one for somebody else, even though the destination is shared. Much depends on what the traveler knows and does.

An idea's longevity depends on the extent of its adoption or application.
As does that of a concept, a paradigm, an ideal.

What someone is hardly defined by what they are not.
If anything, allow for a broader, a more relaxed view. Include and accommodate those to whom it does not matter either way, rather than excluding them. While one may lean more heavily in one direction or the other, the reasonable conclusion may well lie somewhere in the middle. And including the reasonable in ones camp is most often good.

It is hard to reveal ones talents without exploring ones interests.
Wear many hats. Keep digging. And while this makes long hours inevitable, it reveals to ourselves the talents each of us have. Let fun find its way to and through work.

Not against is close to being for.
Include the neutral. Seek the window needed to convince others, and oneself too.

Looking back, from much later, would the view be the same as it appears today.
Make a future decision, looking back. Weight the options - the rewards, the regrets if a road is not explored when it could have, indeed should very well have been.

And neither will the answers be quite what one imagined. For the big questions.

Observe and reveal multi-faceted information
Do more with a visual - add depth, express emotion, contrast size, show heading, emphasize shape, reveal shadows and illuminate, prompting action.

Positive. Polite. Playful. Productive.
Filters through which one views, converses and guides.

We need more than reason though. Inspiration to make our thoughts soar, understanding to guide, gentleness to ground us, ...
