There have been times when I realized my idea was not good. There have been times when others around me have told me my idea was not good, and after further thought, I agreed.

There has been music I created I did not much enjoy after the fact. I’ve made attempts at writing song lyrics, poetry, and even a book that did not develop as I would have liked. I also tried painting. I have tried and will continue trying to be creative rather than regurgitative.
We ridicule people who bear their creative souls. We ignore things we are unfamiliar with. We mock the ones whose ultimate definition of success is being their own true selves. We dismiss change as being radical instead of creative.
The status quo pushes and I’m pushing back.
I am so unbelievably excited to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Jenni Young and Bryant McGill to create a Simple Reminder.

I like people. And I love to hear the unique stories everyone has to share. I also believe the more we discover about each other, the more we can understand each other.
I reached out to Kate Brenton, Lomilomi practitioner and educator, and asked her these 3 questions.

Did you ever consider your success only pertains to what you’ve done, not to what you are doing? I mean at some point your skills take over and whatever it is you are doing becomes second nature. Like a reflex. Is that success or the benefit of repetition?
If you’re no longer learning about what you strive to be successful at, isn’t that falling short of true success? Surely, innovation and adaptation occur, but if you do not innovate or adapt to innovation, are you successful or simply existing in a window between must change game and game over?
When you’re learning, discovering, and changing, you are actively affecting your success. Success needs to be nurtured. If not, success becomes merely a talking point.
