Home surrender

Surrendering at home.

From the (above) google webpage…

Surrender: it can also mean yielding to a situation, influence, or inner feeling, signifying acceptance and release rather than just weakness.

To me, surrendering at home means letting go of going through the motions like everyone else. It means a remarkable focus and discipline on identifying personal priorities.

It means surrendering to an unnecessary anxiety — no longer concerning myself with what i think others think about me running my life as if it’s a world-class business.

In the surrendering, prioritized priorities…

In the surrendering, world-class intentionality…

In the surrendering, world-class balance of life’s five big choices.

In the surrendering, personal vibrancy..

Home joy

Home life joy.

Joy.

From Google (the previous line hyperlink)…

Joy is a profound, lasting emotion of intense happiness, contentment, and delight often arising from a sense of well-being, success, or deep spiritual purpose. Unlike fleeting pleasure, it often persists regardless of circumstances, serving as a deep, inner state of gladness.

Note, didn’t yellow-highlight the above sentence. It simply resulted from the copy/paste of the first definition.

So home life joy is all of that, at home.

Pretty cool investment to get results like that.

Home teamwork

Home life teamwork.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

No person is an island.

The exception is the exception.

Our priorities drive our actions, and, inactions.

Our actions and inactions drive how others experience us.

How others experience us determines if they want to join our team, and stay on our team.

Friends, family, neighbors, colleagues, etc.

Your first, most important friend is yourself.

All of this starts with our priorities.

Whatever your priorities are, prioritize them, for yourself.

The first victory is with yourself, at home.

Home setbacks

Home life setbacks.

They’re gonna happen.

You’ll be consistently challenged your entire life by small, medium and large challenges. Challenges you see coming, and challenges you never see coming.

#truth

Doubts and fears — versus — hopes and dreams.

Profuse, perverse, and pervasive societal norms that promote a low-standard of home-life vibrancy expectations.

Few if any personal, lifetime role models.

A constant conflict with reality.

Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

You can intentionally take small, calculated risks with your thinking. If your risk ‘fails’, it’s still a success because you learned something and any ‘damage’ was small , unnoticeable, and easily corrected.

Home life setbacks can diminish as you age if you embrace and cultivate prioritized priorities. They can also multiply if you don’t embrace prioritized priorities.

The odds in either direction, however, seem to be influenced by architecting your personal vibrancy, with great intention.

Recovery from ~~risks~~ successful failures, by design, so to speak.

Play around with, and hone, your prioritized priorities.

Priorities, by design.

Remember, waiting and doing nothing are the twin siblings of self destruction.

If anything can go wrong, it will.

Or, using your growth mindset, “If anything can go right, it will.”
