Three Things in Life That Matter

Kids.
Music.
Nature.

Kids show you how not to be self-conscious, afraid or have the adult need to be correct all the time. And they are super brand ambassadors. Being a kid is always in.

Music has transformative capacity. A rock star's maniacal jumping on stage or a lovesick teenager's misty-eyed rendering of Halo behind closed doors - the rhythm just could get you. No matter what happens after that last note, in that moment, you are transformed.

Nature is humbling. It makes you feel at peace with yourself and the world around you. And if you're really lucky, glancing down the mountainside as you climb through icy peaks or feeling the rush of water as you swim through the twists and turns of a river, brings to you a moment of absolute lucidity about your life. Like breaking through thick foliage for the first glimpse of light.
