In my first year of high school and university, I had an idea of what my 5 year plan would be, what courses I’d take, what adventures I’d have, only to find that no, I’d get to have other stuff happen to me instead. I perservered and graduated only to see this happen again and again. Hopefully any new 5 year plans I make will have a few more contingencies to them now. Thanks for the good story.

I like to think that my responsibility to my wife and children is a foundational piece to my calling. It gives me credibility and integrity to live out the rest of my blueprint of my calling. The calling goes from a family to fight for to a cause and a mission to fight for as well.

For example, part of my calling is to see people transformed and embrace their destinies regardless of the cost or sacrifice. Having a solid family helps that and if I sacrificed the value of family my calling would seem shallow and not have as an effective of platform. But my message to my family and others is very clear.

So you are off to an amazing start. Foundation is there. Start building on it! I wish you the best.

Later that same day, I was over at the Drop-In Centre where I almost always seem to have a cool adventure. For me, this is where I can run into some new people, have some conversations seem to find some new connections. This time, we got to do some prep work chopping up some carrots before dinner. While this may seem like a simple thing, I find it fun to hear stories while getting something done and feel useful in the world. There is something to be said for giving of oneself. I suppose in a sense that is the underlying point here, that we are supposed to give ourselves into Life, but why did it take me so long to see this? Maybe I just like to complicate things.

Wow….have been reflecting….this is good! What an eye opener!
Thank you.
