The paradox of spontaneity and bliss

Halloween candy
Yesterday. Marketers are very intentional with color, timing, placement, etc. The harsh reality, they are selling sugar and corn syrup.

 

When everything we do becomes intentional we have arrived at a place of bliss.

Critics will ask, “What about spontaneity?”

The paradox with spontaneity is the harsh reality that it requires planning to be blissful.

If we intentionally manage our time, our joy, and our gratitude, freedom is literally in every breath we take. As is spontaneity.

Our other fail safe option is to indulge in mind altering, often addicting, substances/habits. Otherwise known as empty bliss.

The real blessings are modest

Two days ago.

 

Life is full of disappointment. It is also full of the opposite.

We see what we want to see.

The real blessings are modest. They are introverts. Often, we don’t even know they are in the room with us.

i am so thankful that i can run. Period.

Competition is simply a motivational log to throw on the fire.

There are many more logs in the forest.

Feeling overwhelmed is quite common

Sarcasm on Facebook
Yesterday, a friend’s FB update.

 

When we feel overwhelmed…there is no perfect answer, except this:

Be grateful you are alive to experience an imperfect world.

The picture is an excuse maker’s crutch.

Vibrancy is it’s own reward, no matter how long you live, or don’t live.

Christians are such an easy target

Field of Florida wildflowers
Yesterday, off the beaten path.

 

The funny thing about Christians is how easy it is to criticize them.

The world, largely, thinks Christians think they’re perfect.

So when an imperfect Christian (which is all of them) does something hypocritical to core Christian values, everyone be like, “See, Christians need to shut up”.

Understanding paradox will change your life

Nicholson Center at Florida Hospital Celebration Health
Arrived for audio visual check in this tee-shirt. A subtle form of humility and transparency (and confidence).

 

Who is greater, the one who sits at the table and is served or the one who serves the table?

Obviously, the one who sits at the table.

Unless, that is, you understand paradox.
