How big are your most optimistic thoughts?

dad

How big are my most optimistic thoughts?

Back in the day, so big they scared me.

Now they’re even bigger, and they feel like a friend.

Master the art of dreaming and doing, and failing and achieving.

Mastery is an enlightened goal because wealth can’t buy it, impatience can’t rush it, privilege can’t inherit it, and no one can steal it. You can only earn it by doing the reps. Mastery is the ultimate optimism.

Today’s posts share 25 questions i brainstormed to “rapid fire” in an hour at someone i’m getting to know. Each post has five questions. The questions are in the order they were thought of, which is not the order i would intentionally ask them.

  1. Tell me about a time when you stood up against what everyone was saying should be done because you thought there was a better way that no one else could see.
  2. Top 3 Fav Disney movies?
  3. What makes you come alive at work?
  4. What doesn’t feel like work at work?
  5. What are your get to dos and have to dos?

Note: This post’s title (Let’s see) is inspired by this morning’s one-week post cataract surgery followup exam. Hoping to ‘see’ eye-healing progress.

Slow down to speed up.

dad

How slow?

How long?

To what end?

Who helps you judge speed and duration?

Who protects you from impatience?

Who protects you from frustration?

Who protects you from boredom?

Who protects you from “falling behind”?
