Facebook spirit

Try again, to improve, or just settle for doing what the Herd is doing?

 

Facebook spirit, aka our emotional attachment to Facebook.

Is our self-worth tied to likes, comments, number of “friends”?

Is our self worth tied to the joy, excitement, accomplishment, and love demonstrated in our posts?

Is our self worth tied to the diversity of our life – the well-rounded front we share?

Is our self worth an illusion because we (generally, and of course there are exceptions) post only our life’s “highlight” reel?

The joy in routine

Disney's Monorail
On the run home yesterday, Monorail yellow in a hold pattern.

 

Disney World's Space Mountain
Unique viewing angle of Space Mountain that most never see.

 

Disney University
Safety is as important as Magic at Disney. Yet our Guests have no idea.

 

United States Marines trailer
Cutting through a townhouse complex on the way home.

 

United States Marine pride
United States Marine also appreciates (loves?) Disney (lower right “hidden Mickey”)

 

Secret running path near Disney World
A seasonal shortcut, available during drier weather.

 

The joy in routine is there if we aren’t too busy or distracted to notice. i was simply out for a morning run.

The Pareto principle for volunteering

Windermere Prep dog mascot, Willow
Yesterday morning, during an 8-mile run…ran past the High School administration office. Willow (the dog), is the Headmaster’s pet.

 

The Pareto principle for volunteering is interesting.

Refresher: 80% of the results come from 20% of the effort. Another example, 80% of sales come from 20% of the sales team.

First thing in the morning, volunteered to be in a (new to the high school) parent focus group in the morning (90 minutes).

Mid-afternoon, volunteered to meet (and mentor) a former Disney Institute colleague (75 minutes).

Neither time total above includes travel time or preparation thinking time.

Something Magical happened between the two events. It’s at the ‘Next Blog’ hyperlink below…

This morning’s reading is challenging

Florida Hospital Winter Garden construction photo
Last week at the construction site for a new hospital. Construction is not a perfect science. Neither is life.

 

This morning’s reading is challenging. And there will be roughly 1,000 people listening and watching. Going through the motions would be easy. It’s only 40 seconds worth of reading.

Do these 40 seconds stand a chance against everything else each parishioner has coming at them this week?

Read like you mean it.
