Serving well is a privilege

Serving well is a divine privilege.

Humans are born to serve.

We are not born for a solitary life.

Humans would perish if we didn’t work together with others.

Serve others humbly.

It may be your greatest privilege.

i don’t know

mountains in fall
There’s a season for hiking, every year. There’s a season for being vibrantly active, every lifetime. Would love to summit before my season ends.

How much is enough?

i don’t know.

Probably well past “enough” (understatement of the decade?).

It feels weirdly cool to say, “i don’t know.”

Why?

i don’t know.

Quietly, we’ve reached 15 years

Odds are high you won’t have time to watch this TED Talk.

Yet know i felt the same “i don’t have time nor interest right now” feeling.

If you become an exception and watch (like i just did), odds are high you won’t finish (i did finish, but doubted i would).

There’s a point where the TED Talk’s silence will unnerve you.

Becoming unnerved is a glorious place.

Why?

It challenges you in uncomfortable ways.

Lean into discomfort.

Discomfort exists to help things grow: people, processes, places.

Today starts the 15th year of prolific writing.

Five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Four leap years at 366 days each plus 10 years at 365 days each.

That’s 5,114 consecutive days.

Five differently-themed blog posts a day.

That’s 25,570 published blog posts.

Shhhh.

Don’t tell anyone.
