The Monday 3: NYC, Lifeblood of a master spirit, Jimi Hendrix, Expression of who we are, Listening to understand

Hi there,

Happy Monday!

I’m writing this from the New York Public Library. What a beautiful place.

In the Rose Main Reading Room on level 3, there are golden letters inlaid in the timber above the door:

A good Booke is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit, embalm’d and treasur’d up on purpose to a life beyond life

I just had to share that.

Here is your weekly dose of The Monday 3: a quote, an insight and an action I’m taking.

I’m always working to grow my newsletter, so if there’s someone you think might enjoy these, I’d love you to share this with them. They can sign up here >>

A quote I’m pondering

Knowledge speaks but wisdom listens.

Jimi Hendrix

An insight from conversation

We are not the roles we play or the hats we wear.

If we can decouple who we are from what we do, then we have a new aim.

To make what we do an expression, rather than the definition, of who we are.

An action I’m taking

I’m practicing listening to understand rather than listening to respond.

++++++++++

Is there one of these that really stood out for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions too.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

With love,

Toby
