A very action oriented plan, which is how men were wired from the beginning: to act, to form, to change. I would like to add another observation as a reminder as to how important our choice of words are: our brains are always listening to our speech. Just like our cell phones and Alexa, the brain is always listening in on our conversations. When we pronounce “I’ll never be happy again”, our brains will try to oblige us. So we need to be always speaking in terms and in language that is going to uplift us and not tear ourselves down. Anyone would benefit from your article. I have a very good friend grieving that her son was sentenced to 42 months for a very minor offense, but famous people aren’t the only ones on the receiving end of weaponized law. I know she would benefit from this, aa well as her son. Should she give me permission to reach out to her son in correspondence, I’m going to share your article first with mom and then with the son. Thank you, and be at peace 🕊️
I totally agree. We need to be very intentional about the reality we boldy speak into existence. It's painful to hear what your friend and her son are going through and I hope my writing brings them even a small measure of comfort ♥️
Thanks brother. We had to put one of our long time pets to sleep yesterday so this is helping and I LOVE the actionable work you provide. This is what makes you stand out from the crowd! With gratitude 🙏🙏
I'm so sorry you had to put one of your fur babies down brother. I know how important they are to you and Barb. Thank you so much for your continual support and encouragement. I wish you both peace as you mourn your loss ♥️
Not sure exactly what experience these observations sprang from, but I'll share my opinion. (I've been notified by the government that I'm disabled, and was fired from my job, but may not get disability. So I've recently got a more modest, easier job. My 14-year old daughter, who just started at a pizza place a block away, makes more. Her and 5 others, though, will depend on my income.)
I've observed that I simply can't pull myself up by my own bootstraps. It's too depressing. Or, if I try approaching it that way, I always ended up doing something wacky. (My wife would say I do lots of wacky things anyway. Whatever.)
But I've found the only resource that lets me get through difficult times like this is God. And I don't mean He makes the situations easier, although I guess He could. I mean He comforts me in my anguish.
This is only a long term solution. I'm not claiming God ever makes things easier: maybe He does for some, but certainly not for me. But He comforts me.
