When Least Expected™

Choices

January 18th, 2007 at 11:19pm Manchild

Congratulations for getting up and showing up on day 18 of 2007. Although I also got up and showed up, I failed to finish the message orginally planned for today. Writer’s block? Maybe. Trying to hard? Possibly. If you also failed like I did to finish what you started today, don’t beat yourself up. At least you got up, showed up, and took another step in the right direction. Doing so was a choice you didn’t have to take, but you did it anyway.

So you won’t walk away empty-handed today, here’s something from, THE LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE COLLECTION™, I penned in ‘93 for you to think about.

CHOICES

Over the years, haven’t you noticed how some people manage to carve out a path around, over, or through life’s unforeseen obstables and learn how to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones? There are those of us who would rather kick back and allow other people to do all the work until Curiosity compels them to blindly follow the beaten path just to see where it leads. There are those of us who have a never ending love affair with sleep and eventually wake up wondering where in the world everybody else went.

There are those of us who refuse to waste precious time listening to the deceptive voice of Procrastination and choose to do today what can’t wait until tomorrow. There are those of us who expect other people to do more than what we should already be willing to do for ourselves until we end up chasing the fleet-footed horse of Momentum. Finally, there are those of us who will always get stepped on because we’re too busy standing in the way of the people getting out of the way of the great men, women, and children now leading the way.

As we “keep on steppin’” towards our goal of “making our biggest dreams come true” and “achieving great things“ during this “year of firsts,” may the peace of God be with each of you until our blended, extended family of culturally diverse people can meet again.
