Embracing Change

Tomorrow is our company’s first quarter review. Can you believe it is already April?

I found myself reflecting hard over the weekend, as I am back in Texas and the bluebonnets are everywhere.

I can vividly remember walking through the fields of blue a year ago when things were very different.

Over the last twelve months my family has experienced new life, death, engagements, destroyed homes, and a tornado of both euphoric and tragic change.

The crazy thing is I am not unique. I imagine most people reading this are struggling to process all the evolution you have experienced as well.

So what should we do?

There is no perfect answer, but I find comfort in three ideas: controlling the small things, dreaming about the big things, and staying present in the moments I love.

• Control the small things: For me that means running everyday, a smoothie in the mornings, daily to-do lists, and writing this letter on Mondays. These tasks provide me the structure to handle all the change.

• Dream about the big things: Why wouldn’t we? We talked about this last week, and it seemed to strike a chord because I got the most responses of all time. Life is clearly a shit show, no one is qualified, so there is no reason not to go for our dreams. For me that is sharing big stories in the form of films and tv shows.*

• Stay present in the moments you love: This is hard for me. My brain is all over the place, but I am trying. My daughter gave me a hug for the time yesterday, and I have never cared less about anything else. I want more of that.

These are the messages I will be taking into our company meeting tomorrow, and I hope you find some value you in them as well.

Happy April. Enjoy the bluebonnets.

Love,

Log Dog

*p.s. I am curious if you are interested in hearing about the tv show concepts we are working on?
