True North is the opposite of hell

The serenity prayer.

It’s your decision-making compass.

True North is what’s in your control.

South, the opposite direction, is what you can’t, and never will be able to, control.

Taking risks is risky

Taking risks is risky.

So is playing it safe.

We are neither Baptist nor non-denominational.

But we do love Jesus.

One Church is a few hundred meters from our home, the other is half-way (1.5 miles) between our home and High School.

Our Parish of 17 years is 13 miles, and 20 minutes, away. Doesn’t sound like much but for us it’s a lot.

Karma at the drive-through

Thank you note card
Never told my lunch partner about writing 7 Disney Business books in 1 year. But Donna knew i had reached Day 183.

 

Was expecting a call when the phone rang at the Chick-fil-A drive-thru lane.

The person calling wasn’t who i was expecting, which in this case, was even better.

He was in his car and i was in mine.

A random, important, and spontaneous call.

The odds of us being far apart were literally a guarantee.

Our vehicles were 200 meters apart.

We met, we talked, on the spot, no waiting, no coordinating schedules, just boom.

Done.

Being asked about career-altering advice is a huge responsibility and huge honor.

Paying it back or paying it forward, it’s an opportunity to do unto others as others have graciously and generously done unto me.

Why would we choose the most difficult alternative?

In 1972, a lifetime ago, i won a trip to Disneyland.

 

Of course, it’s hard to make consistently great life choices.

What the heck though.

Isn’t it equally as difficult living with poor choices?

By the way, this applies to our spiritual health as much as it applies to our physical health.

So given the choice, why would we choose the most difficult alternative?

Dear Son, thank you for running for you

Isaiah 30:15
Everyone has their reasons. It’s not ours to judge, but only to learn from.

 

Waiting at the one and two miles marks (20 feet apart) to call out splits, i saw Isaiah 30:15.

Passion and purpose take many forms.

Doesn’t matter what we choose, as long as we choose.

Thank you for choosing to accept and believe the reason you are running is because you want to, not because you think i want you to.

Thinking and believing with conviction is at the heart of a life with fewer regrets – and possibly at the end, zero regrets.
