Deep moments but not for everyone at the same time

That moment when you want to go deep in conversation but intentionally share something with a casual tone instead – because in that moment it’s so far away from worrying about. And you don’t want to make the other person overly emotional.

A thing that won’t have potentially profound ramifications until a future date?

Maybe in a week. Maybe not for 30 years. Maybe never.

That moment when it dawns on you that neither person may ever return to a special, favorite, or memorable place.

Driving away from Logan Pass, down along Lake McDonald, was that moment.

Patience is strength.

Gratitude is strength.

Forgiveness is strength.

Had only two things to say to the wonderful folks attending the surprise celebration.

  1. I don’t know what to say.

  2. Thank you.

Most of us are in a different place than we were 15 years ago.

For a blessed number, it’s a much more servant-focused place.

A place they never saw coming.

A place they could have never foreseen.

A good and decent place.

We can take solace in knowing that everyone is either going through hell right now, or just coming out of it, or about to start going through hell at any moment. We live our lives moving in and out of these three places.

To think someone else has it easier is nonsense.

And a crutch to glorify self-pity.

Always follow the light. In fact, be the light for others.

 

When we become transformationally self aware, we become a humble, gentle, yet omnipotent human being.

Jesus urged his Disciples to not concern themselves about preparing just the right thing to say should they ever be tested.

Let your Holy Spirit be guided in the moment.

A rock solid belief in your loving, servant convictions. Nothing can destroy that, not even death.

Zealot?

Perhaps.

Should a narcissist outsource?

Self-love is critical. And like everything else, has potential to be misused.

 

Self-love is, mostly, a socially unacceptable notion.

Arrogant. Narcissistic. Selfish.

Really?

Is it really?

What about being comfortable in our own skin.

Confident.

Self aware.

Maybe a narcissist should outsource their self love to mitigate their (potentially) bad reputation?
