Figure it out and make it work

Middle School play

 

(photo: Faced with the reality he’d be unable to attend the School Play, he did the next best thing, organized his schedule to attend a practice)

The only parent present at yesterday’s practice was the one who will be missing tonight.

Instead, he’ll be on the floor, center court, at the Amway Center.

Working.

Transforming.

Others.

This is something most people will never know

Mailing Label

 

(photo: The company above was founded to be the first ‘for-profit, non-profit’.. rather than ask for donations…)

The original goal was to raise $3,000 to donate to CCFA. In a matter of a few minutes, because of workplace ethics and creativity, the goal was upped to $1,000,000.

And on November 15, 2008, put that insane goal in writing here.

Since that time, the goal has been reframed to reflect the DNA of the goal setter.

The new goal is simply this:

Help raise money until a cure is found.

No amount, only an end goal.

A cure.

There are many adults who never tasted this enough

Who taught you about personal responsibility when you where young?

And what are you passing on to the school-aged children in your life?

  • Summer homework done in advance.
  • School supplies taken care of in advance.

Teaching the upside of being done ahead of deadlines doesn’t happen until afterwards, say the first day or first week of school.

There are many adults who never tasted this enough to make it their default menu – ahead of time.

Joy in knowing the future just got a little easier

Teen receiving MacBook Air for birthday

 

(photo: This is what a person turning 14 looks like at the end of their birthday day – yesterday)

Who is not surprised and delighted to receive as a gift a MacBook?

No one.

And if it is only 11 inches, and light as air, even better.

This is the equivalent of 200 years ago parents bestowing a rifle to their son – literally a matter of survival.

The key tool for their future success (and survival).

Rejoice in the struggle?

Church message
Rejoice in everything: our struggles, our demons, our awareness, our victories

 

Dear son, honestly never thought your dad would make it 100 consecutive days writing five daily blog posts about Life’s Big Choices.

Never thought he’d abandon drinking everyday either.

Crazy what motivation and purpose does to help one become decently organized.
