We should all know always what we are doing!
If you find yourself losing your grip on motivations & intent, it is frankly time to leave.
No good thing comes out of sticking around a situation getting out of hand!
It is that part of your journey (doing something different) when you stumble across something unexpected. You find things that you might never have considered before.
Focus on what you control! It is our choices and our efforts. The outcomes will follow and are what we have to accept.
We tend to do those things that we want to do (and find reasons not to do things we don’t want to do.)
People, regardless of their leanings, opinions, beliefs, or politics, do those things they want to do, but quickly justify why they won’t do the things that they don’t.
If you are an unethical and abusive person, you will be downright despicable with money and wealth. If you are an overall good person who treats others with respect and fairness, you will be that much better with money.
Most of us and our neighbors want to provide an opportunity for our families, achieve a measure of success as we define it, and limit the obstacles that others would put in our way. It is those things that we do with Freedom that ultimately defines us – both individually as well as as a nation.
To find true success (and joy), we have to find and do that things that we love. Instead of chasing “highs” and avoiding “lows”, we have got to find the journey that makes us happy! Learn to value the journey and it doesn’t matter how long it takes you to get to your destination!
We often hear that “Life is not Fair”. While true, that is no excuse for the rest of to behave in ways that are unfair. Practicing fairness in an unfair world is the small bit of “Good” that we can invest in each other’s day!
There are few places where Youth get to learn & experience things that interest them safely while developing their character & becoming better leaders. Scouts BSA is one such place and I am proud to be a part of it.
While Scouts BSA is not the only place where this happens, it is one.
It is time to stop trying to find “easy” wins. Instead of trying to achieve with the least effort, there are a lot of opportunities to be found “higher in the trees”! My recommendation: Get a Ladder!
