Surrender like you mean it

Gapingvoid Art — Most people don’t exercise. Most don’t surrender either. Photo: yesterday’s email.

Surrender like you mean it.

My job as a business consultant and advisor is to evaluate.

To look, listen, and feel what is obvious to outsiders.

Why?

Insiders are too close.

They can’t see things with the clarity and unfiltered impressions a complete outsider sees.

This skill transfers – whether i want it to or not – to family, friends and colleagues.

To have valuable insight into undiscovered opportunity is a burden.

i surrender to what i can’t control.

Surrender requires a deep and complete letting go of the good choices never made.

Belief is a virus

jet in the sky — At 7:15am yesterday, a Saturday, i waited outside for a moment.

Belief is a virus.

Worry begets worry.

Hope begets hope.

Like a virus, either place (worry or hope) we focus on will grow and fester rapidly and for a lifetime – if we let it.

Let it.

And choose wisely.

PS. Less than 24 hours ago, i can’t recall what led me to look up. Must be some type of virus.

Let’s pretend neither one of us is going to move an inch

understanding and acceptance — Yesterday from FaceBook, serendipitously.

Let’s pretend for a moment that we’re family, related by blood.

Let’s pretend we have diametrically opposed beliefs about what’s socially acceptable – say equal rights for anyone in the LGBT community.

Let’s pretend neither one of us is going to move an inch in the direction of the other.

I wrote today’s post prompted by a thought i just had (below):

Because we are related by blood, neither of us should expect to get leniency from the other if our beliefs and values are outdated and no longer loving.

Remember when there were separate drinking fountains for two colors of people?

How ~~stupid~~ misguided was that?

If we refuse to love or accept someone because of their color, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, we should simply ask why?

And ask ourselves if Jesus would say, “Well done on your non-acceptance.”

Prayers are answered in random order and sometimes never

be bold — Yesterday at High School office, a pile of college brochures.

Prayers are answered in random order and sometimes never.

Like yesterday at 5pm.

Random order reference here…

A client gave me news that was a 180-degree turn from what we originally thought.

We never saw it coming.

It was an amazing turnaround.

It was also what we expected all along.

We forgave the folks who over-reacted.

Intentionally leaving out details. They don’t matter. What matters is their change of heart.

They saw the light you could say.

Facebook seemed so important a few minutes ago

marketing video crew — The home next door had a film crew shooting a commercial for a local fence company. We talked about us working together.

Disney speakers — A month later, i finally reached out to Rod, for an introduction to his Sales Director.

Worrying about keeping up on Facebook?

Don’t want to get left behind on Facebook and other people’s lives?

What about your own?

Your life.

Keeping up.

Falling behind.

Your endless capacity for maintaining a positive attitude?

Your dedication for doing the hard work to create and maintain vibrant health habits?

Your burning desire to live without hate, anger, greed as well as to lead with compassion, forgiveness, and generosity?

Your drive and determination to be the best in the world at what you do for a living?

Your tireless motivation to manage the paperwork of life at home?

Wow.

Facebook seemed so important a few minutes ago.
