Something happened yesterday that had me wonder about finding the right thing, for the right reason – running.

Kiwanis Changing The World
We see it and hear it every day. The media bombards us with bad news. How do you counter this so it doesn’t overwhelm you and poison your attitude? There is an easy solution. Pay attention. Look around. Listen. Follow up.
Recently met someone with a passion for social media. Come to find out, she works for Kiwanis International. Here’s their Mission:
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.
And then I was walking by the statue in the photo here and thought about the Shiners – no cost, no catch.
So many people will wake up today and try to make the world a better place. Do you know exactly how they feel? What if you did?

When Do You Find The Time?
Undeniably, we have a body. And a mind. And a job.
We also have a spirit.
Our bodies, our minds, our careers grow and thrive in direct proportion to our efforts to nurture and strengthen them.
Same with our spirit. I’m amazed at the sheer volume of distractions that medicate us into complacency. Where do you “worship”?
When do you find the time?

Rest On Sunday?
Resting on Sunday (Sabbath) sure looks good on paper. Saturday night I was thinking about the two speeches I would deliver yesterday (Sunday) morning.
There is a certain anxiety that accompanies a public speaker’s life. Large or small audiences, it doesn’t matter. Everyone is expecting you to be smart, and hopefully, funny.
The first speech, a reading from the book of the prophet Amos, was 90 seconds, delivered to an audience of hundreds.
The second speech, the Homily, was seven minutes, delivered to 60 children from kindergarten to 5th grade. It was in a separate building, a few minutes after the first.
Unlike today’s point at Mid Life Celebration, I didn’t tell our son (10) “why” I worked so hard on a Sunday. Well, not until dinner last night.
Even Jesus had to explain (defend) why he worked (helped others) on Sunday.
You now exactly what it’s like. Most of the work we do to serve others looks easy and natural.
Can we all agree it would have been so much easier to sleep in?

When you are an entrepreneur
When you are an entrepreneur, there is no theory.
All there is is try and then learn.
Launch, learn, revise.
Repeat.
Launch, learn, revise.
All the people who dream of how things can be different where they work – well, they have no idea.
