RETURNING TO SQUARE ONE


The agency defaulted again, and no job to start on Monday. Bummer. But, I have had my reservations about working with this different agency--there have been inconsistencies in the manager's conversations. Don't want to say that she lies, but at least twice she has given me conflicting stories.

The storm woke me up about 2:30am and then I was wide awake.

THEORY OF RELATIVITY... FOR LIFE



I think John Ortberg taught me this formula; or it could have been Bill Hybels. With apologies to Albert Einstein, this is like the theory of relativity, for life.


[This is not John Ortberg!]

EXPECTATIONS - REALITY = THE SIZE OF YOUR PAIN

Not to discourage risk taking and dreaming and strategizing on how to best tackle life and all its intricacies. Just keep this formula in mind and when you feel angry or frustrated, even depressed, examine your expectations and reflect on those plans. And, remember in Proverbs it says, "All progress is the result of adversity."
