Whisper Words of Wisdom

 Let It Be.  In 1970, The Beatles released their final studio album, Let it be.  The title song which still resonates through the culture some 40+ years later is a pithy prescription for a propitious life. 


Sadly, as of late I've been a bit caught up in more of a Diggy-Wa-Do sort of existence.  Not good.  So easy to get drawn into the do-er trap.

As leaders it is important that we balance the "doings" of our lives with the "being".  More often than not, the latter informs the former.

Eight years after the Beatles broke up, another English rock band, The Who, released their eighth studio album, Who Are You? just prior to the death of the band's drummer, Keith Moon (go to the videotape for some memorable footage of Keith).  The title song asks the essential existential question.

So, go ahead and ask yourself: Who Are You?  Then, Let It Be.
