As if by Chance...
Courage  ·  Integrity  ·  Joy

Helping people become more present, create with intention and live in service of something greater than themselves.

Chance Eaton
Principles

The three principles.

Presence

Pause. Notice. Listen.

To respond rather than react. Presence is where clarity begins. Leadership, creativity and every good relationship begin there.

Creation

Life is not happening to us.

Every conversation, decision and day is being made. The work is becoming a conscious creator rather than an unconscious reactor.

Service

Capability, in contribution.

Ability matters when it leaves people and places better than they were found. Not self-sacrifice. Contribution.

About

One life, many dimensions.

Everything here comes from one simple idea: make the most of life. Live with attention and intention, and let what you make be of service to something greater than yourself.

The chapters are evidence of it, not the story. Commissioned from Sandhurst at nineteen — the Army's youngest Captain at twenty-two — then into the ranks of 21 SAS, the Artists Rifles: the regiment raised by painters, joined as a trooper, earned as a corporal. UK Special Forces. A diplomatic posting in Colombia. A painter's training at Arts University Bournemouth. Communities gathered around fire, cold water and honest conversation. Ventures built on trust. One philosophy throughout: courage, integrity, joy.
