So it’s like this…

So it’s like this…

What if…

Fed Ex delivers a package in a cardboard box and leaves it in the driveway. No big deal right?

What if it rains, what if the residents are away for a few days? What if…

What if the driver would have walked a few more feet and placed it by the front door, under the covered porch?

In an earlier post today about everything happens for a reason the lesson is clear:

This is a first world problem. Maybe the driver is going through some sort of personal hell. If it would have been damaged or stolen, it is replaceable. Let go of how it was handled compared to how you thought it should have gone down.

i learned to grow my patience with imperfection.

Because it’s what i hope other’s will do with my imperfections.

Thought giving up coffee and diet coke would be impossible

Funny coffee sign
Cracker Barrel for breakfast before the Sunday Tournament. Photo taken in their gift shop.

 

Thought giving up coffee and diet coke would be impossible. Seriously.

The catalyst was a holiday trip to visit Family. In a strange development, noticed widespread dark stains on my teeth. From coffee?

Quit drinking coffee and diet coke when we returned to Orlando. That was on January 5, 90 days ago.

The sign above:

No coffee, No workee.

We believe what we want to believe.

  • “I can’t live without coffee”.
  • “I can live without coffee”.

We live a lifetime selling ourselves short. Our ability to transform is possible.

It’s the focus and discipline that seems impossible.

Organized for double dipping?

We talked about it mid-trip, the notion of visiting Land and World on the same day. On the final day (yesterday, March 9) flying from Los Angeles to Orlando we semi-committed to doing it. On the drive home from the airport we decided to go for it.

Retweet of jeff noel quote
Second from bottom tweet, above, is a jeff noel quote.

 

jeff noel quote on Instagram
Same quote posted by same person’s Instagram account, without attribution to me. No worries. It happens sometimes.

 

The second photo is cool. A great quote. Who’s it from?

One of the rarely realized benefits from being decently organized (in this case on social media) is that when someone quotes you but makes it sound like their own – no worries, it just comes with the territory.

The upside is the realization that you are using original content in your life, not someone else’s.

Having original thoughts, inspired by great and compassionate thinkers before us, inspires us to become a truer, more authentic version of ourselves.
