Be “At Cause”

Monday, July 25th, 2022

 

John Lavelle said: “Ecstasy is a full deep involvement in life.”

What does that mean? Basically, what he’s saying is be “at cause.” Be the person who sees what needs to get done and then step in and make it happen.

Look at the person who supervises you. I bet they could use some help making things happen. Look at your customers. I bet they have other needs that aren’t being met. Look around everywhere around you. I bet you have coworkers who could really benefit by what you have to offer.

Be at cause so that you can experience the full deep involvement in life. You’re the one who steps in and makes great things happen.

Close enough is rarely good enough

I discovered very quickly in that first job that people count on everything we do being 100% accurate. That was a brutal new reality for which I wasn’t the least bit prepared.

How would your higher self handle this?

Monday, July 19th, 2021

Maybe you already know the biggest problem that’s going to hit you today. When it does, have a conversation with yourself. How would my higher self handle this?

Let’s see. My higher self probably wouldn’t get explosive. My higher self probably wouldn’t start running for the hills. My higher self would probably say: “This will need some resourcefulness. I guess I’d better get my game on here, because I’m going to have to solve this.”

Isolation

Monday, June 28th, 2021

I’m a hugger. This whole idea of living in a world of isolation, where we’ve had to wear masks and be away from people and social distancing, has been hard on me. I bet it’s been just as hard on you. Isolation from other people is considered an actual punishment in the penal system.

Let’s admit it: This has been hard. And yet we are responsible to make sure we keep up our relationships. Whether they’re through screens, or a distant wave, or somehow having an elbow bump.
