PERHAPS, MORE CLEARLY
Monday Sept. 3, 2018
If we aren’t improving daily, aren’t we falling behind?
If we aren’t improving, might we be actually sliding backward or downhill?
And if we are, isn’t that gap (we v. them) widening?
Some form of gap exists for everyone – students, athletes, families, businesses. It’s more complex, deeper, and more important that that old cliché – ‘lead, follow, or get out of my way’.
Please get out of MY way …
Like overtaking cars in traffic – we don’t need to pass them if they’re already going fast enough.
YES, if they are going faster then we’ll strive to catch up, recreating that conflict but then we’ll both be moving faster, stronger, perhaps more clearly – about what we are doing and why we’re doing what we’re doing.
NO, I’m not talking about reckless driving or cars or traffic …

DO-OVER
One can't undo what has been done to another or unsay what has been said but you can apologize and hope for the best. And learn, AN, Calgary, AB
Now I know what sphincters are, I really hope I never clench them again. That would really hurt in the long term. I opt to do over instead. I going to say "I'm sorry, I apologize, I misunderstood, forgive me and I really hope you can unclench your splinters" or "I choose to let it go, your offense, and all my clenched teeth and sphincters!" Gee, I feel better already, PW, Calgary, AB
