When people we love leave us, we look for clues. The last sunny day was 12/21, the day he passed, the first sunny day back was 1/20, the day we celebrated him.
For as long as I’ve done these, I’ve started off with “Happy Sunday Everyone”, today, not so much. We lost the greatest man I’ve ever known on 12/21.
You keep your agreements with me, and I keep my agreement with you. Sounds so simple. It is, so let’s do more of it. Honor your word.
If you can fail through effort, if you cannot take it too personally, if you can learn from the fail, you come back stronger, better, more knowledgeable, more confident, more refined, more developed, more experienced, more professional, more better.
General rejection is tolerable, personal rejection, from those you know, is harder.
There will be 2 camps in six months from now, those that got better and those that wish they had.
…we need to stumble, we need to be confused, we need to question, we need to feel that discomfort of “what the f”, in order to work through the issues.
Be aware consciously of your own highest values and stay true to them, regardless of the
cultural values around you
…you have to have a big picture appreciation of where your head is by asking those 8 questions. I do believe all the tactics in the world don’t matter if you don’t have an appreciation/thought for the “why” you’re doing them.
