Integrity of any kind is never wasted

Two days ago – from home to the HS school track and back.

 

In the blog you just came from, that story continues here. The day before, the High School Administrator sent all the parents an email update about the 30-minute school-wide student meeting on academic integrity.

i replied with a sincere, and specific note about how grateful i was for his focus.

This was done without expectation.

We can never know the blessings we will receive from acting with academic integrity, we can only have faith that integrity, of any kind, is never a waste of time.

Why does society continuously wish for miracles?

The busiest Disney pedestrian crosswalk is being simplified to enhance vehicle flow.

A simple solution isn’t always an easy one, but it is simple.

 

We wish for miracles.

Our lives are complicated. Busy. Full. Challenging. Stressful.

And we find socially acceptable ways to medicate, entertain, and distract ourselves.

It’s easier to find a fix for symptoms than for causes.

If we would focus on simplifying our life. Shed the non-essentials. Focus on the basics. Stay committed, focused, and disciplined – we would astonish ourselves.

Want a miracle?

Get busy simplifying.

Pretty sure that’s the short cut to our next miracle.

Would i think differently?

Seniors in electric scooters at Disney
Yesterday after lunch at Epcot’s Land Pavilion.

 

While walking out of The Land Pavilion, prayed for the two people driving electric scooters at Epcot yesterday.

Questions flooding my brain:

  • Did they have an accident?
  • Is it disease related?
  • Was it preventable?
  • How have their lives changed from what they envisioned as young adults?

If it were possible to not think this way, i wonder what i would think (and pray) about.

Cross it and it could backfire

Allow your child the opportunity to do anything, but don’t provide so much opportunity they do nothing.

Both the child and the parent will sweat it out because the line between the two is not well defined.

Cross it and it could backfire.

And so it goes.
