Did you beg your parents to let you join the band? No? I didn’t either. (more…)

What sort of value are we providing to our personal relationships?
Take for example, the father who pays $100/week to send his son to a top-notch baseball trainer. That father might make the assumption that his investment in his child is a valuable gift, but in what way?
There is value in that experience, specific to sports skills, but the financial investment by the father adds only abstract value to the relationship that he has with his son. No matter how much it costs, it’s merely a money-gift, and the recipient can’t always quantify that.
Take now, the father who spends 2 hrs/week playing catch with his son in their yard instead. The relationship value added here is not abstract. (more…)

What we seek, we might find.
Or rather,
What we do not seek, we will never find.
Intent on discovering all of the ways that the world is plotting against you?
Why? Sure, there will be plenty of hardships for you to discover. But we all battle them. Honestly.
What about the task at hand? Does it serve us to stress the perils?
What would happen if, instead of dialing in on the negativity in our lives, we decided to adjust the scope, and we centered ourselves on optimism?
Where the cross-hairs intersect, calculated or not, is where we will hit.
Every single time.
WE NEED TO BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT OUR AIM.
We might miss anyway, but surely we fail without attempting to be purposeful.
The people in our inner circle can inspire us, or, they can play host to our pity party.
Music can serve to free us from our chains, or, it can bind us to sadness and despair.
The internet can serve to educate us, or, it can rob us blind of our time, hour by hour.
Pending chaos.
All hinging on what we are aimed at.
