We shouldn't be seeking focus, we should be seeking reverence. Depth and fulfillment comes from awe.


Our culture is obsessed with optimization, but that only disconnects us from our humanity.


Focus keeps us. Reverence stops us in our tracks.


Awe makes us more generous, loving, connected, patient, and abundant.


Create space for awe by staying present and avoiding avoidance.
