from The James Brown Commentary

Sometimes, the best way to figure out your next steps is not to move at all. In today’s chat, we're diving into a thought-provoking poem by David Wagner that kicks off with the line, “Stand still.” It’s a gentle nudge to remind us that in a world where we’re always hustling and bustling, taking a moment to just pause can actually be the smartest move we can make.
