Human to human is no mystery

Why the spear? Because of potential invaders? What are the new people’s motives for being here?

Human to human is no mystery.

Is it the unknown motives and behaviors of people that are new to us that leave us suspicious?

New employee. New leader. New initiative. 

Change always has a motive.

It’s not knowing the “real” reason that frightens workers, and lowers their trust in management.

Maybe the workers have every right to be suspicious, like the native jungle inhabitant.

The awkward and correct answer is “no”

Texting and driving
This used to be me. Phone in hand in busy rush hour traffic. Texting and driving. Photo: Less than 24 hours ago at a 30-lane intersection near Interstate 4 and Universal Studios. Also two blocks from my gym. There is a car seat in back too, but it was empty.

 

The awkward and correct answer is “no”.

Tough love.

Danger – codependency.

Obviously, life is hard.

It’s our job to figure it out.

The long way is the short cut.

Why was faith, hope, and love our go-to when we were younger?

Allentown's Morning Call newspaper
Yesterday morning, Monday, July 18.

 

i have no idea how to act when the only visible things that seems to be working decently are your lungs and your mind.

Would i be able to remain a pillar of faith, hope, and love when everything around me is crumbling?

At 57, i am incredibly inexperienced compared to 90.

i told him that.

All i can think about is that faith, hope, and love are the very things we need when the end is near.

Having spent many days and nights living in the Senior Housing Facility and visiting the adjoining 24-hour Nursing Home, i’m seriously confused by what i observe and have observed for many years.

And i wonder if Faith, Hope, and Love – our everything when we are younger – turn out to be fair-weather companions as we age.

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.

 

Do what you love, mileage may vary

When i signed in on volunteer sign in sheet 24 hours ago, i had no idea of the carnage. It’s my smiley face with Mickey Mouse Ears hat.

 

Do what you love, mileage may vary.

Getting so close to a breakthrough i can taste it.

Ups and downs.

Highs and lows.

Certainty, then uncertainty.

Lucky breaks, then setbacks, and vice versa.

It’s that notion that few get to see with their own eyes. The notion of getting up one more time after you’ve fallen.

It’s hard to be beat someone who refuses to quit.

PS. The focus is my growing business, but in reality, this is also a metaphor for America picking itself back up after yesterday.
