Wait, you’re kidding me

The Book, Mid Life Celebration next to U of Oregon T-shirt
The book is a resource for our son.

You: You’re kidding, right?

You: I didn’t sign up to get grilled by someone I barely know.

Me: So.

You: So what are you doing. Feels like I made mistake.

Me: Really? A mistake? Interesting. You really think you might have made a mistake? Or, maybe, you’re subconsciously thinking, “Thank God. I’ve been waiting for someone to rub me the wrong way. But in a good way, a refreshing way. A way that might finally help me get unstuck.”

Me: Yeah, i’m good like that. But, please, make no mistake, if you continue, you’re gonna have to commit to working like you are trying to make your Country’s Olympic Team.

Me: No bull crap. Full-on. All-in.

Me: And you have to agree to slow and steady. There will be no forcing speed for a natural process that can’t be hurried.

Me: What this will demand (yes, you heard it, demand) from you is daily all-in commitment. That’s the only way slow and steady works. Most people have never heard of this life hack.

Me: You’re welcome.

You: Speechless and smiling (well, more like grinning).

Me: Breaks into a similar grin, knowing you now have felt what you came here to feel.

Me: Quietly giving thanks to the Universe, God, energy, karma, and every other good thing that is invisible, yet can be tangibly felt.

What did you expect?

Aha, figures.

Right?

Waiting and doing nothing are easy-peasy.

Stalling?

Stereotypically, yes.

Here and now?

No way.

Makes sense

Asked the crew a few questions…there’s a trust that fellow Cast Members have that’s instantaneous. It’s a cool privilege to be an insider.

Once a Cast Member, always a Cast Member.

Literally all common sense makes perfect sense. What’s nonsensical is how uncommon common sense is in your daily life. The upside is there’s massive room for improvement.

Like a shadow

Shadows and blankets are related.

Your gratitude for another is like your shadow. You can’t go anywhere without the gratitude following you. It works the same way when you substitute neglect for gratitude.
