Don't you just love the way a catchy title brings people in? Even if it has nothing to do with the subject.
It's been a while since I babbled here, so I figured I'd see if I could remember further back than yesterday and put together a few (very few) coherent words.
Life's been interesting for me of late. I haven't had any serious personal problems, meetings are going well, work is work, yada, yada, yada...
I have been doing some reading on God's will and how it works in a persons life. I have come to the conclusion that they wrote those books to make money. The bottom line is: God is going to do what God is going to do, and there is not much one can do but go with the flow.
I done some serious work on expectations, resentments and acceptance. I find that the only person I can really depend on is me (and even then only about half the time). So now I take what is promised with a truckload of salt. I plan for delays and take things as they come and not how I expect them to happen. It makes for a much more peaceful mind at the end of the day.
I'm finding that little line about "courage to change the things I can (ME)" works really well - if I do something more than say it at the beginning and end of a meeting.
I and the world ain't perfect yet, there's a whole pile of more changes I need to make. Mainly in the realm of stupidity supression and ego erasure (mine). But at least now a tree doen't have to fall on me to make me realize that I've been chopping on the wrong side.
And you all here have been a major league, important part of what has happend to me. I owe you - big time.
Nuff said,
Dennis
