Familiarity breeds contempt

Jesus said a prophet cannot be respected in their own town, with their own people.

Why would He say that?

What does this mean?

My friend Dennis claims sayings and cliches only become so when they are true.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

What if you worked at Apple, say like Steve Jobs, and they fired you even though you were the founder?

What if you worked at one of the most admired companies in the world and you asked questions that others couldn’t (but should easily be able to) answer?

Are thrivers immune from hell?

Motivational speaker jeff noel
The upper left corner starts with “Some”…torn a corner of a magazine (probably while on an airplane) to write down a thought.

 

All of us are:

  1. Currently going through a hell no one knows about
  2. Just came out of a hell no one knew about
  3. About to unknowingly go into a hell no one will know about

Those of us who don’t talk about these things aren’t lucky or immune from “bad things”, we just choose to not dwell on where we’ve been, instead we give thanks for making it through and making it back.

What if no one shows up or worse

The Rosen Centre
Two days ago, i’m used to being the first one in the meeting room.

 

What if no one shows up?

Or worse, what if they show up but leave and do nothing different, nothing better?

Metaphorically, it happens for most people attending Church.

No?

Desirable often comes with the less desirable, and vice versa

Lake McDonald never disappoints no matter how many times you see it.

Commercial?

Eddie’s has a long history and decent food.

 

Apgar Village at Glacier
Only a handful of shops.

 

The west side is different; busier, commercial, but the the views…oh my. The delicate balancing act of life is ensuring that we take the desirable with the less desirable.

Vulnerability as a leader

jeff noel Disney management expert
Book title or just a great reminder? “From Theory to Magic”.

 

One hour and fifty minute phone call. Rough at the beginning but worth every minute to get to the ending.

We are both better off for staying the course, speaking openly, and never loosing sight of the blessings beneath all the surface struggle that will become something we will joke about in years to come.

Entrepreneurs should be testing “theory” daily.

All theory looks good on paper. Until you are running your own business, you’ll never realize how theory and reality are often polar opposites.
