How Often Do You Question Authority?

Do something great.

Human nature to question authority. Complaining, questioning, doubting – all part of the frail human condition known simply as being a social creature – birds of a feather flock together. Ya with me?

So why then, do we not question ourselves with the same intensity? Same consistency? Same ruthlessness?

Honestly, I do. Just not sure I pay attention long enough to get a great answer.

Does It Really Beg This Question?

So what? Remember balance? It's not impossible.

Does Google’s authority, simplicity and elegance beg the question, “So what?” Maybe better questions are, “Who cares?” or “What does this mean to me?”

It may not mean anything to you, although I think it should mean something to everyone. To me it’s a metaphor for how to live a balanced life. Remember balance?

Right?

Three Things That Happen When We Compare Ourselves?

Our stairway to heaven...?

When we compare ourselves to others, three things happen to us:

  1. We can feel great about fitting in and following the Herd.
  2. We can feel awful for not having the courage to take a different path.
  3. We get to pick one and live with ourselves for the rest of our lives.

Our clock is ticking. We know deep down what we desire in life. We have permission to go after it. Go!

Back To… You Win Some And Lose Some

I wonder if he thought the day was an epic failure? Probably not.

Compared to two days ago, yesterday was an epic failure. The whole Family was off (MLK day) and we even had two other boys for most of the day. Beautiful weather too.

For years I’ve told everyone I work seven days a week in order to have some semblance of work life balance. But being a holiday and three day weekend, I swore I wouldn’t, not on a holiday.

Alas, the road to heck is paved with good intentions.
