In a world full of stress, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by circumstances we can't control. We get lost in our heads, and our day gets "trashed" by frustration, even if it's justified. But what if there was a simple, direct way within our power to create a better experience, in small but meaningful ways?
This episode is an invitation to discover a simple but powerful practice that can help.
Host Brett Hill shares a powerful personal story about a gorgeous autumn leaf on the sidewalk that stopped him in his tracks—capturing an exquisite moment in time with 'magically large' globes of water glistening on its surface.
This moment is an example of the "diamonds at your feet"—the abundant, foundational beauty that is always right there, just waiting to be seen.
This is not an escape from your problems. It is a practice of connecting to "the beauty in you, noticing itself". These are not just nice moments—they are portals.
This episode is a reflection and invitation to the question: "As I live in a world with extreme beauty and extreme injustice—who do I want to be?"
