When I return to Kansas, I’m overwhelmed by it. When I look out my office window, I sense it. When I study the history of a great individual and their great team, I’m in awe of it. When Jordan and Keturah decide to head west, I’m faced with it. When Krit’s goes to Arizona instead of coming here, I’m hit with it. When I walk into Andrews bedroom and look at his desk, his cards, and his certificates, I’m stung with it. When I look in the mirror, I can’t help but see it.
When I look at my Builder’s Journey, I’m reminded of the fact that “it” isn’t ever going away. When I hear the “truth” from one of my family, friends, or clients, I really feel it. When I’m alone and reflecting about my life and my loved ones, I’m struck by it. When I’ve got a bad case of “dragging ass,” I curse it. When I anticipate the arrival or the departure of one that I’ve come to LOVE, my heart breaks in anticipation of it. When I pray, I’m keenly aware of it. When things don’t work out, I’m down with it. When things go even better than I had anticipated, I’m fine with it. I could go on. I’ll stop.
What is this “it” to which I refer?
This is becoming a central element to my worldview. It’s taken me quite awhile to see this “and,” but it’s crystal clear to me now. Here “it” is.
I am learning to “embrace the bitter AND the sweet.”
“It’s” taken me over 50 years to come to the conclusion that life is about “anding” the bittersweet moments. As I learn to embrace this fact, the bitter is losing it’s aftertaste and the finish, I might add, is getting sweeter all the time.
Our belief system, our worldview, if you will, makes a world of difference.
Are you authoring your worldview or simply parroting the beliefs of another?
Are you too busy, too distracted, and too driven to take the time to think, reflect, and build your conscious worldview?
Huh?
How do you challenge your deeply held beliefs?
Why is this important?
