Learning to be what you’re not

Inspirational quote
Great scripts are only written – and read – by the willing.

 

When we can’t be what we want to be, we learn to be what we’re not.

Please be careful with the scripts you read to yourself (over and over).

The wrong script changes everything.

The good news?

The right script also changes everything.

Dear Son, passing the trust torch to you

Trust
The landscape contractor has a history of showing up as promised only 50% of the time. So no, i do not trust he’ll be here March 29 or 30. i hope so, but i cannot trust it.

Dear Son, passing the trust-torch to you.

Two nights ago when i said i trust you to self-monitor your nightly hour of video games – and that you will face temptation when parental oversight lessens…remember?

From the time you began to talk as a one-year-old we have prioritized trust as the number one relationship asset.

What hit me as i was falling asleep was this:

You must have a powerfully trusting relationship with yourself.

As you mature and approach 18, you will be in charge of your choices.

Choices, my Son, are everything.

Trust yourself to make great choices.

Trust yourself to learn from poor choices.

And remember that a poor choice can simply be to not make one because of fear, doubt, and uncertainty.

You must trust yourself more than anyone else in the world.

Note: Risks for personal growth are healthy. Risks for pleasure are unhealthy. Self-control follows trust and personal responsibility.

Dear jeff, pack wisely

Orlando airport
Yesterday morning. Non-stop heading West.

 

Dear jeff, your attitude is contagious.

Nothing special about this because…

Everyone’s attitude is contagious.

We carry either an enthusiastic attitude or a non-enthusiastic attitude.

Dear jeff, pack wisely.

Happy New Day

Ordering HomePods
Upper right corner. Awoke at 2:55am to buy at 3:01am (12:01am Cupertino time). Tried unsuccessfully for 20 minutes.

 

Happy New Day.

Can you hear yourself saying this?

i shoulda.

i coulda.

i woulda.

i’m a simple person.

(ps. you’re still talking to yourself…)

i work hard.

i sacrifice.

My goals are pretty lofty.

A fair amount of my family, friends, and colleagues don’t get why i work so hard.

The goal?

To win.

Win what?

Victory over my old self.

Metamorphisis.

To journey through life, preparing for the next leg.

To do what you need to do today so your tomorrows are better.

We thrive or we survive.

Life is fair in that it is unfair to everyone.

Celebrate.

Go.
