Wisdom you create for yourself—and offer to the world

In Stop Chasing, Start Creating, we mention the Creating Rhythm and the 66 pieces of lived wisdom but #67 was never written.  It was always meant to be yours. Your #67 is the truth shaped by your own experience. It is the wisdom you discovered (or hope to discover) when you stopped chasing and started creating.

① REFLECT: Your Chasing Moment (3–5 minutes)

Think of one moment or season in your life or work when you realized you were chasing something:
approval, busyness, control, perfection, recognition, etc.

That chase left you feeling empty, exhausted, or misaligned.

Now reflect:

• What were you chasing?
• What did it cost you?
• What changed when you began creating instead—meaning, rhythm, alignment, or peace?

② EXTRACT — The Lesson from the Chase  (1–2 minutes)

Ask yourself:

• What truth did this experience teach you about yourself, success, or what really matters?
• If you could whisper one sentence to your past self in that moment, what would it be?

This is the core insight behind your #67.

③ SHAPE — Your Creating Rhythm  (5 minutes)

Turn that truth into a short, memorable saying that you could carry with you every day (aim for under 15 words).

You can use patterns like:

• Stop ___, Start ___.
• When I stopped ___, I started ___.
• Meaning grows when you ___.
• Not all ___ is ___.

Examples:

• “Stop chasing applause. Start creating alignment.”
• “When I stopped proving, I started growing.”
• “Busyness doesn’t equal belonging.”
• “When I stopped running, I found rhythm.”

Write your inward version—the one that reminds you.

④ CREATE — This Is My #67  (3 minutes)

Now turn your wisdom outward. Change “I” → “you.” Wisdom becomes meaningful for others when it moves from what you lived to what others can apply.

Example:

• Inward: When I stopped trying to prove my worth, I had more time to simply be my worth.
• Outward: When you stop trying to prove your worth, you have more time to simply be your worth.

Keep both versions: one to anchor you and one to serve the world.  Remember your #67 does not need to be perfect, it only needs to be lived.

Share your #67 above and/or on social media using #ThisIsMy67
