Peaceful surrender, mind

Theory is worthless without application.

Generally in our life, so much work goes into creating a living space that is visually appealing to our preferences.

What happens if you spend decades creating a living and growing space and then you were blindfolded for the rest of your life?

What if the wrinkles you’ve watched multiply and grow deeper, would never be visible again?

What if you never “see” your loved ones again.

How would you see all of it without the gift of sight?

Loss begets compassion

Eye doctor office
After three hours without vision in one eye, decided to visit eye doctor as a walk in. They saw me within 30 minutes.

Loss begets compassion.

dad

Thinking yesterday about what felt like a possible (not probable, not on the first day anyway) loss of one eye, i immediately started looking for the blessings.

Sixty-plus years with two eyes.

Some are born blind.

Some become blind as children; in one or both eyes.

Others become blind later, but still spend most of their life without sight.

Losing an eye after six decades feels pretty lucky, perhaps even miraculous, compared against common outcomes.

Two Dog Flats

Parked roadside at Two Dog Flats to get ATT signal…this happened. Fun. There’s a second dog between the man’s legs.

Blessings are commonly invisible until they disappear.

dad

Lost sight in one eye while walking. Cannot see anything except the perception of light. For example, unable to see my arm in front of me.

Mental discipline

man's feet propped on patio table
Habitual discipline creates personal vibrancy. Vibrancy in how and why you spend your time. In the course of a minute, a week, year, a decade, a lifetime.

Mental discipline is creating habits you love by doing things you used to hate.

Some examples from a long list…

Always seeing the opportunity in every adversity.

Yes and, never yes but.

Growth mindset, not closed.

Wanted to

Wanted to write a Love letter to my wife and our young son in case something bad ever happens and i’m not around. It turned into a book.

Peace comes from not having regrets.

Peace comes from the people you love most being crystal clear about what they mean to you.
