Art Break: Whitmore

Art Contrarian looks at the work of Coby Whitmore.

Slow and Precise

It is worth repeating.

Shun distractions. Dump phony deadlines. Lose the stress. 

This morning, just as a test, move very slowly. Avoid scanning material. Read it carefully. Sense the rhythm of the words. Make all of your actions as precise as possible. Be in the moment, whether you are sipping coffee, writing a note or talking to a customer.

Savor the seconds and not just the minutes and hours.

Millions would love to be in your place.

Highly Recommended

Don't Just Stand There. Check Out Some Books.
