What Do You Mean You Don't Know?

Inhale goodness

Spirit Airlines
There’s an energy in this photo that is stimulating. Yesterday leaving Orlando. Our pool reached 91 degrees.

Sitting directly across from the dining hall dessert table, it was tempting to find a good reason to break from the no-sugar commitment.

Two tables offered up a dozen enticing dessert selections (plus there’s a self-service hand-scooped ice cream station nearby).

Freshman 15 (or 20) is a real thing, that’s how it became a phrase.

Be careful with habits, rituals, self-control, and personal vibrancy goals.

Inhale excellence, not desserts.

PS. No desserts were harmed last night…only inhaled the goodness.

Nobody is going to tow you to success

Disney's Eyes & Ears
Eyes & Ears is the Walt Disney World Company newsletter. In English and Spanish.

 

Disney University
Yesterday’s lunch spot.

 

 

Nobody is going to tow you to success.

In this case (at this blog), we’re talking about personal peace and contentment.

You must do the heavy lifting to shed what doesn’t let peace into your life.

You must do the heavy lifting to eliminate distractions, medications, and entertainment that feels addictive.

Dear Son

Habits define you

habits
Habits are either by design or by default.

 

 

Ever catch yourself examining other people’s behaviors and instantly liking or disliking certain attributes?

Do you believe that what we like and dislike is a reflection of our own daily behaviors?

Observing others is a great window into how we are perceived by others.

This is scary for the simple reason that the things we dislike in others – that’s what we are unknowingly projecting as well.

This is exciting because we have many positive blind spots. We become aware of the goodness we carry and project.

Our temptation is to downplay both.

“I’m not that annoying.”

“I’m not that wonderful.”

Nothing in excess and know thyself

High School Graduation
Dr. Brenda Fields gave an inspiring and practical speech.

 

Nothing in excess and know thyself.

Our Son’s Latin teacher has a remarkable reputation at High School, and she was overwhelmingly chosen by the students to deliver the 2018 graduating class the commencement speech.

A significant part of her speech revolved around the Enid – with the two main point being:

  1. Nothing in excess
  2. Know thyself

Sound wisdom back then.

And still today.

How much are you worth?

silence
Only in solitude and self-reflection will our deepest questions be answered.

 

How much are you worth?

In business, the easiest way to get a true reading is to quit working for someone else and go out on your own.

If you’re not willing to do this, it’s quite possible your sense of worth is grossly inflated.

In life, in the spiritual realm – depending on your convictions – your self-worth cannot be measured. It is far too great to calculate.

It’s quite possible that your spiritual self-worth is grossly deflated.
