While sitting in a forest these words became the path of the writing, "An atmosphere of constant change makes no room for a guarantee." We only assume the forest floor sits in its present shape not just today but all days until it rains. Our personal lives are no different. We are trained to think that change is the only way to process progress. Therefore we create change to motivate all that may become a greater day of victory. On this podcast I talk about how many chances each of us take daily. We accept third to fifteenth best. The proof is in the way we shop. Look at how many successful outlet malls there are. It's not perfectly made clothing. We prefer to pay a cheaper price for a mismatch. I'm extremely guilty of eating at restaurants that have a 91 and lower rating. My heart believes this place of business probably had a bad day during the inspection and they need a little help from the community to keep them moving forward. I'm willing to become ill during their moment of attempting to grow forward. You may not do this while seeking food for your hunger but when it comes to your job or a person your heart thinks it loves, we are always willing to accept the lower rating. Breaking that habit has its pain with the potential of no gain. I've known friends who wanted only one thing in a person or they'd never marry. Once the vows were shared, that perfect attempt didn't truly come with a guaranteed payoff. This isn't about accepting bad business or people but rather being aware of who we are in the present. The average person spends more time in the past then the past actually existed. Another chunk of travelers are geared up and hiking the trails of a future that may never get here. Being available in the present doesn't make life 100% happily ever after but it allows your decisions to be more focused on how it will be received when tomorrow arrives.
