Lesson 89: Focus on that which is true, good, and beautiful

Hi friend,

I'm writing to you from Ottawa, where my family and I find ourselves this long weekend before our children's school restarts on Tuesday.

The opportunity to travel, observe, and reflect on the past, the present, and the future is a blessing.

Seeing a former manager (Mary) and her family, catching up, and appreciating the positive impact that she has had in my life thus far has been wonderful.

Exploring Canada's capital has been a joy, including walking through the Glebe neighbourhood, petting goats with the kids at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, visiting Grace City Church for the first time, and watching an amateur boxing tournament at the Beaver Boxing Club.

Our lives are short. The years fly by rather quickly. And yet we can choose to be intentional each day in how we love with our words and actions, how we serve others, and what kind of an example we are for our family, our friends, our coworkers, and the broader community.

Let's make this week matter. Let's love. Let's focus on that which is true, good, and beautiful.

Thank you for taking the time to read and reflect.

Until next time,​
​Alex Rășcanu​

We see this happen at work, as well as when it comes to habits and relationships. We may only appreciate that which has true substance and value once it's gone, and keeping it usually requires someone willing to look stubborn.

The Rășcanu Weekly Update Lesson 94: The story of Bay Street teaches us that working side by side speeds up success Hi, As I prepare to deliver the upcoming ExperienceTO Bay Street Historical Tour on Saturday, November 14, I’ve been researching how a single stretch of road became Canada’s economic engine. Today, "Bay Street" is shorthand for capital markets, corporate law, and high finance. But it began as a short, muddy track cut through trees down to Lake Ontario. In 1797, Deputy Provincial...
