You are speaking to the choir bro. I'm as impatient as they come…but I'm getting a little better each decade or so. ;)

Re: Just Offer

Jack Lynady — Sun, 11 Jan 2015 10:50:42 -0000

No doubt Doug. We have to continue to seek out those places and people where what we have to offer is most received.

A gift is nothing until it is received.

Such wonderful words of advice. In this instant world we get used to expecting things to happen so fast. I know I am guilty of that. Sometimes things just take time. I wonder if in my impatience I have missed some things...

Re: Just Offer

Such truth Jack. I would add to that sometimes we feel that what we have to offer, nobody wants so we think why bother. I think once we get to the mind set that what we have to offer some people need, but not everyone will accept frees us up even more. I watch my wife in her business sometimes want success more for her clients than she does, frustrates her for sure, but you just have to keep offering!

Hope you and the family are well and blessings for a great 2015

Great thoughts Jack. I think the bridge picture is perfect. The foundation isn't the pretty part, but it's function is so, so valuable. Without it, the entire structure falls. How our lives are right! While myself and my does some of your list, there are some that we need to work on. Too often having kids pushes date out...needs to become a priority.

Agreed. Hope you husband feels the same and not the way he did 40 years ago. I am a product of God too. I'm blessed to have a family and a man in my life to call my dad. That is commitment, that is an honest "union".

Re: How are your relationships developing?

Jack Lynady — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:13:12 -0000

Great thoughts Jeff. I agree they ebb and flow. It's one reason I find I must constantly cultivate old ones and/or pursue new ones.

Re: How are your relationships developing?

Jeff — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:56:47 -0000

You have a nice simple way of putting it.

My relationships are cultivated at snail's pace. I am cultivating relationships by being part of groups, so my ability to cultivate relationships can be expanded. My best relationships have been initiated through groups. The ones that work usually spring from these groups and develop independently. There is a lot of negotiation, compromise, forgiveness, prioritizing (something against the relationship).

The funnest thing is knowing when to continue a relationship and when it ends -- and when it restarts.

No doubt Jeff. Hope u are well. ;)

"I don’t think it really matters what we say to each other, but what we say often shows…that we matter to each other."

That's true in support groups, too, where people acknowledge each other. There's always someone who says he appreciates having the group members in his life.

Hey Jack...talked as a family and we all agreed that it's an awesome idea...being that we live in Wisconsin, maybe it will be a snowball instead of a rock...
Peace,
Doug

Hey Jack...
This is an awesome idea! Love it! I might just have to copy it if that's okay...all royalties to you of course!
Blessings,
Doug

Re: Our Journey is “nonlinear”.

Jack Lynady — Thu, 16 May 2013 13:40:23 -0000

No doubt Doug. It's a Way of Life bro.

Re: Our Journey is “nonlinear”.

Doug G — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:56:44 -0000

I like being "Non-linear" as well...as long as it isn't square...but seriously, it is true to not get caught up in the particulars of everyday life, but embrace the mystery. Thinking about something I heard Gary Barkalow state one time, "that if God gave us what we were to do with our life we would just go do it"...but the mystery is what can be so exciting, and maddening at times...

Re: Building a Display Case?

Haha. Make sure your health insurance is paid up first James.

Re: Building a Display Case?

james drenner — Mon, 13 May 2013 13:48:14 -0000

I don't know if I'm the only one who's had these thoughts. But whenever I pass by a retail display case like these ones. I really want to punch and break the glass like they do in the movies. And because I just want to see if I can actually do it.

Re: Making tough decisions (Part 1)

Jack Lynady — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:01:42 -0000

No doubt Joe. I'm really digging the book and reflecting on how I've made decisions both well and not so well. Hopefully, I can help others with their tough decisions in the future particularly my children. ;)

Hey Jack! I've been reading the same book as well and it's been hitting home with me. I think I struggle with number 1 the most. It's easy to see the to do or not to do options but not the others.
