Knowledge wealth

Fun is panning out a bit to add context to this ‘Christmas Tree’ location.

Knowledge wealth.

What?

Knowledge wealth is your ability to learn from vast, often random subjects. This information goldmine can become a liability as easily as an asset.

We are easily distracted, entertained, and often medicated by the internet’s ability to provide instant gratification.

Our best plan/hope requires focus and discipline.

Let me say that again because we are not easily wired for focus and discipline…

Our best plan/hope demands focus and discipline.

Over-focus on sifting to your life’s top priorities.

An obvious top priority is wanting to prioritize your priorities.

The downside to being focused and disciplined – and ‘knowledge rich’ – is that you may outgrow some relationships.

Why?

Because being focused and disciplined with prioritized priorities is too much for most to bear.

Be mindful of this new frontier.

Let your prioritized priorities help you navigate wisely.

Generational DNA

Breakfast meeting notes written on the back of this paper wrapper for the napkin/silverware bundle.
So much power, so little space.

Generational DNA.

Met yesterday with a business owner, fellow High School parent, and an ambitious, insightful, and hopeful middle-aged man.

He developed and teaches entrepreneurial studies to high school students locally and nation-wide.

His conclusion is that teens are frightened, insecure, and literally paralyzed by their fear.

Further, he believes their ability to take in-person risks (not social media risks) is catastrophically (my word) low.

He theorized this phenomenon is the result of the first parental generation to raise digital natives.

Because this is a first-in-our-world’s-history, it will take a generation or two to correct any massively detrimental generational habits.

Will “The Church” embrace digital disruption?

Church and digital transformation
As the two collection baskets passed, i wrote the idea that had come to me as i let go of the second basket.

Will “The Church” embrace digital disruption?

On the photo’s right is me thinking about having a collection app on our phone for when the donation baskets (one for the Church and one for Stewardship) come to us.

This would give the physical signal that we have taken action.

Currently, we automatically give electronically every three months (once a quarter). So when the baskets come to us, we don’t do anything except pass them ahead. It appears as if we don’t give.

PS. The acronym NYE in the photo above stands for New Year’s Eve.

Yesterday was New Year’s Day for the Catholic Church – the first Sunday of Advent.

Our Priest asked the congregation if we had celebrated NYE the night before.

His point, most of us were unaware.

But we are certainly aware of the secular NYE celebration opportunities.

What if we were equally, if not more, aware of the beginning of the Messiah story?
