Comment on Getting Up

2011-03-10T22:37:53Z

Henry,
I appreciate your thoughts on "Getting Up", but it leaves me with a lot of questions. What did you do to "get up"? Did you ultimately have to face the consequences of your mistake? What did you learn, or are still learning? I like this, but I want more! I think we all need to be able to face things and learn how to move on. Easier said than done.

Good way of putting it. That makes one put their job in a different perspective. For me, I TRY to work to give glory to God. I must admit though, it is hard sometimes when you work in an environment that doesn't produce great morale, lack of leadership, and a divide and conquer environment due to leadership. So how does one come to work with the "can do" attitude or what you proposed above? I guess it is all about the attitude and what you get out of it.

I will try your approach and see what happens. At least, I can make this out of a game. Might even get something out of this as I try to do this daily at the jay-oh-bee!

Thanks for, yet, another wonderful submission that makes ya go "hmmmm".

Comment on Your Brand That Just Happens

2009-07-20T05:12:28Z

I, like you, am always at least 1 hour early for work each day. Unfortuantely, his has less to do with my desire to be timely and much more to do with my desire to avoid traffic. However, I completely understand your point about one's personal brand, and if I had to pick something that I might hang my proverbial hat on as my brand, I guess I would say: Dependability.

Comment on Challenge (Still)

2009-07-20T04:53:39Z

We live in a day and time where challenges seem to be in greater abundance than opportunities. While many people would encourage that we view our challenges as opportunities, this is quite a difficult request considering the nature of a challenge in and of itself.

Challenges can be untimely and overwhelming, especially when they are so appealing to us. Some challenges are complex and multi-layered whereby, if you resolve one portion of it, you make the other portion(s) worse by default. I, too, have faced challenges much like you have described. Sometimes it feels like there is no resolve; sometimes, the challenge is so captivating...and feels so right...that you don't even want there to be. These type of challenges are even hard to pray about. I mean, it seems easier to be delivered from something that you truly desire to be released from, but how do you ask God to remove something or someone that your heart is still holding on to? I even find myself wondering if I am allowing an opportunity to slip because I have misdiagnosed it as a challenge.

In any event, both challenges and opportunities have one thing in common, and that's their ability to test us; our fortitude, our belief system, and our courage. They both have a way of exposing us to ourselves and presenting very real and powerful learnings about who we are and what we desire. They also help us weed out individuals who are not for our best interest. Therefore, if the challenge itself does not ever subside, I suppose that the growth and personal processing experienced in the course of facing it makes the battle truly worth it.

Comment on There's a Madoff and Achan In All of Us

2009-01-20T19:29:11Z

I agree that Madoff and Achan are cut from the same cloth. I also believe that both should be condemned for their actions. There are millions of people everyday who conduct themselves with moral and spiritual integrity. We may not hear about all the customers who corrected the cashier that was about to give them extra change or the person who turned in a lost wallet. Failing to punish Madoff is a mistake and a poor reflection on this society.

This is a great article and it definitely reminds us of how bridging ideas to simple elements of execution prohibit us to our greatness, life learnings, and self connections. I look forward to reading more. :)
