Work has always been a priority.

Priorities drive decisions. Decisions drive habits. Habits drive results.

Dear Son, you can do anything.

After telling you that your Freshman Fall Semester, you thanked me, “Thank you. I needed to hear that.”

Passion erosion is avoidable

If you wait to publish you are not a writer you are a waiter. What do you gain by not changing?

Playing it safe insidiously erodes your passion.

Best time to worry mentally

Father and son
Not quite halfway through 8th grade. Retired the same Fall he became an 8th grader.

The best time to worry is when you don’t need to.

Think positive, read positive, write positive, watch positive, speak positive, have positive friends. Seems obvious. But.

But what is even more obvious, ridiculously more obvious, is doing the opposite. Watch how this reads, sounds, feels:

Think negative, read negative, write negative, watch negative, speak negative, have negative friends.

Worry in advance. Take climate change. We needed to worry about it before we needed to worry about it. That’s the only way to prevent it.

When you don’t prevent a negative, closed mindset, you eventually (by the magic of slow and steady compound interest) find yourself in the proverbial emergency room.

How flexible?

Disney Keynote Speaker
Cinderella Castle, upper right.

How flexible are you?

Last night’s tense situation led to four spontaneous questions. i asked you:

  1. How flexible am i?
  2. How open-minded am i?
  3. How experienced am i?
  4. How forgiving am i?

On all accounts you gave the highest grade, an A.

Then, spontaneously, same questions redirected to you.

On all accounts. you gave yourself C’s and D’s. Average at best, barely passing at worst.

Flexible to go in any direction.

Open minded to consider any insight and perspective.

Experienced, not pontificated theories nor obvious exceptions to life’s rules, from having lived through 62 years of real-time, deep and broad comprehension of history, issues, outcomes, consequences.

Forgiving without conditions. Doing onto others as i would hope to receive.

The key revelation?

Someone who is barely passing in flexibility, open-mindedness, experience, and forgiveness, and on their best days, average, would be wise to humble themselves to appreciate someone who consistently aces deep and broad life comprehension.
