Compromise is rare (and a blessing)

text thread screen shot
Sometimes while biking or running, i simply text myself to remember the idea. It will disappear if it doesn’t get “written down”. And sometimes, mysteriously, the text duplicates itself at will.

Compromise is rare (and a blessing).

Compromise is literally the only thing that deescalates differences of opinion.

In a world craving an apology, no one wants to go first.

Go first.

Another harsh reality, some people will never go first. Ever.

Pray for them.

Replacement post today

The original post that went live at 12:05am this morning has been taken down.

Why?

It was deeply personal.

Maybe too personal.

The key insight today is that passion and compromise sometimes must find a way to coexist.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Give a little bit

America's great Resorts
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

Give a little bit. That’s what life’s about. So I didn’t get all five posts done before heading out to teach all day at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

So here I am at 9:30pm writing the fifth of five daily, different-themed posts. This rarely happens because I’m organized enough to be 99.9% able to git ‘r done before leaving the house.

Next Blog

PS. There’s a hopeful message in this post (that reads like a diary entry). Simply this, know where you want to go, be prepared to make sacrifices, have fun, and never quit. Ever.
