READ YOUR SIGNS

Thursday June 9, 2016          

We don’t eliminate, we just avoid.

Don’t go there. Beware. Danger. If you chance it, do so gingerly. Roadblocks come with a DETOUR sign, BRIDGE OUT sign. Or some other SIGN warning.

Roadblocks in personal or professional lives don’t come with flag-people, or signs pointing us to an alternate route.

Roadblocks are real, sitting there, piled-up like unremarkable piles of boxes, packed away – most dreaded projects, most embarrassing facts, our shortcomings.

They’ll become backpacks, weight of the world, on our shoulders. Plough ahead, bull-through it, push forward. Do away with them. Finish them. Deal with them.

Or turn back …

morning walk:  15C/59F, gentle breeze, cloudless sky – awesome morning, long walk – ruminating on many things; the walk helped, and I’m a little tired (up late on a school night! … attended James Taylor concert last night; he gave incredible value and donated the proceeds to Fort McMurray wildfire victims!)

ROUTINE MATTERS

Good morning Mark, You totally hit the nail on the head with this short write-up. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Kind Regards, EB, Calgary, AB
