No truer words have ever been spoken! SO! Let’s improve on our discernment, because we may need to go against better judgement. Thank God for the creation of forgiveness and understanding because mistakes are inherent and necessary in order to find balance.

Is NPR ( National PUBLIC Radio) controlled by the rich ?

Another thought as I’m watching Roland Garros tennis tournament. Nadal has dominated the Red Clay surface for years, but his reign is over Anywho, here’s the two thoughts :

1 > wouldn’t it be nice to receive encouragement and reward , like athletes get, during the course of our work day

2 > Not all fans scream encouragement, So ! wouldn’t it be nice to remain goal determined, and focused on what’s in our control, like athletes do.

But ! The big heavy hearted thought today is this :

If a Fallen Hero could speak, what would they say ? And would we listen

Retirement at age 60.
It about 6 minutes long. Skip ahead to the 4::30 point if you have short attention spans
This is his very last run. Wowza, what a way to retire, setting a new world record.

Ya I remember but that is a more modern picture, we didn't have spears, we threw rocks.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken.
Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

The poor south has to live with that name charlatan ….. The truth will always find its way out eventually, however we need to rely on BELIEVING IT ! and that’s were the SITUATION LIES Everyone is susceptible to being bamboozled, but the good news is that everyone also has the capacity / flexibility to forgive themselves and others (not forget) when it happens. Now power is restored back to its rightful place, internally, so that we can mentor responsibility over blame.

True power comes from within never from without, so how can you get it back, when truly you never lost it in the first place, that’s the major Bamboozle we grow up learning and in some cases ( possibly mine ) die with.

New Quote, sorry Carl : by the infamous rug dog MSli.

….If pursuing the truth turns into a Blaming and Naming Game, you loose power every time.

Went to get a coffee yesterday morning. Walked into the coffee shop and grabbed a chair since there was a couple people in line ahead of me. My turn comes and the gal asks me what can she get me. I tell her to make me something special. What size she asks. Medium I say. Couple minutes later my drink is ready. I ask her what it is. Cinnamon something something with oat milk. Whatever, I did ask her to make me something special and gave her the choice as to what it would be so who am I to complain if I don’t like it, right. I’m gonna drink it or I shouldn’t have ordered it! I go to pay and she asks me if I’m going to try it first. I asked her why, if I don’t like it are you going to make me another drink (for free). I think she would have if I didn’t like the drink but don’t think she should have if I didn’t like the drink.

What would you have done? Would you have made another drink if that was your customer? I wouldn’t have without flipping you **** about it.

What would you expect from that situation if you were the customer? What would you do in that situation if you were the barista?

I would not order the way you did.
