I read a book.

The book is, “The ONE Thing” by Gary Keller.

Yes, I read it to myself, but I am also in the process of reading it chapter by chapter each week for the month of July, and foreseeably for the month of August in my regular Wednesday, 12 noon, Facebook LIVEs.

Fear of the unknown, of failure, of success, of judgement, of injury, of death, of ……

Fear is universal. Everyone who has ever lived, is living, and will live, experiences fear! Age, gender, size, financial situation, position, state of health, level of spirituality or education; there is no partiality!

I’ve just completed a book, “Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Take Action,” by Simon Sinek and I am challenged. Being challenged is a very good thing; at least it is for me!

I also feel much better about my inability to completely articulate why I am in the business I am in. On page 56, Simon explains, “The part of our brain that controls our feelings has no capacity for language. It is this disconnection that makes putting our feelings into words so hard.”

We have many friends and acquaintances.

Some are exceptionally good for us, some good, some not so good, and still others, well, let’s just say they’re not in our best interests to pursue or have in our lives.

Some of these “friends”, while not the best for us, are still comfortable. Comfortable in the sense that we know what to expect of them, that they’re not the most reliable, but we’re used to them.

February is, arguably, relationship month! Due in no small part to Valentine's Day.

I was reminded several times in the span of one day recently of the importance of consistency. It was prevalent in so many areas that day that I really had to take notice. One particular topic was about relationships; something I never really thought about within the context of consistency. Consistency, yes, in habit change, in health, in finances, in one’s employment, and in one’s spirituality, but never had I considered consistency in relationships. And then I saw a short segment by an individual, unfortunately I cannot recall who it was or where it was that I heard it, who spoke about (in a nutshell) how easily we give up on relationships without really pursuing what we’re trying to achieve

My reason for doing this interview series was to learn a bit about the elements that are involved in becoming your authentic self. I was, and still am convinced, because I’ve seen this so often, that way too many people are living vicariously through other people! They’re not living a full and purposeful life of their own, and they’re unhappy and angry and short tempered! They’re actually “borrowing” or have “acquired” values, beliefs, and habits from other people. When confronted with new or novel circumstances, they don’t know what to do! They react instead of respond, and we all know that isn’t always the best for healthy relationships

The extended family will be arriving over the next few days and you remember back to the fiasco of two years ago when things went … well … sideways? Then Covid hit and you couldn’t redeem yourself because no-one could go anywhere last year! So everything, everything has to be perfect this time! You know exactly what will be eaten at what time and on what day, the activities are planned for specific times of the day and on what days. People have asked what they can do but if things are to go the way they have to, then best to do it all yourself.
