Know The Preference of the Rules & The Odds Will Be In Your Favor

Discipline prefers someone with a routine. The odds in the game of discipline favor the guy who is constantly cognizant of where the hands are dancing on the clock.

Bravery prefers someone with belief. The odds in the game of bravery favor the faithful followers of their ideals.

Connection prefers congeniality. The odds in the game of connection favor the friendly, selfless, and servant’s heart.

The deck is not as stack against us as the world has taught if you just take time to know what the rules prefer.

What’s At The End of Your Fork?

Or maybe the more appropriate question is, what are your craving to be at the end of your fork?

Most times we give into the cravings. Because no matter the diet, we crave the foods of that diet. A bad diet craves bad foods. A good diet craves good foods.

Back to your fork.

What’s at the end of it?

Hope?

Gossip?

Purpose?

Pity?

One thing our culture can never seem get full on is stories. Great stories. Stories with well nourished characters.

So when you live a great story, in a way, those around you are well nourished – i.e. – inspired and encouraged to be alive in their own story.

Or put another way, when you nourish yourself, you give light and direction towards what will nourish others into their own great stories. Life, at its core, is a constant conversation about our metaphorical diets.

Alas, your story isn’t your fork’s fault.

The Shade You Are Looking For

Our world is governed by many natural laws, one of those being the Law of Cause and Effect.

If you got to your office this morning, you took the train or drove a car to get there. You didn’t close your eyes and I Dream Of Jeannie yourself there. If you’re having coffee today, either you made it or you went to Starbucks. Coffee can’t just appear in your hands. To read this blog, you either booted up your computer or unlocked your phone and inbox. Nothing just happens.

For every effect there is something that is essential for that effect to be or become a reality.

Thus the conversation of cause and effect is more about necessity than it is anything else.

Looking for shade? Then let’s talk about necessity.

Wherever there is shade, someone or something is going to need to have planted a tree.

Moments that Make Days that Make Our Life

It’s safe to assume that the majority of the world is rolling their eyes over “another” Monday while sipping their Starbucks and logging into their inboxes…right now.

But let’s call today what it’s worthy to be called: a period filled with moments that have never been. AKA possibility.

So here we are.

Today.

Now.

This moment that has never been…is…yours.

As much as you want and as hard as you may try you cannot TiVo today or pause the sunset that is coming. This thing is happening and soon, very soon, you’ll ask where it went.

The element of surprise just may be the most rewarding and life-giving gift our days.

If today is typical, that’s your fault.
