Weekly Roundup: Border Collie

August 3 – 7, 2020

Monday: The slow encounter with life changed my perspective. No amount of information and argumentation can augment or speed that process up. The best I could do to my former self is gently affirm the life that I lived as it came.

Tuesday: I’m not sure what you’ve been told is your "weakness," but I imagine it’s an aspect of your strength. It very well could be what makes you exceptional. I bet if used properly, it’s a superpower.

Wednesday: Waiting for that opportunity, idea, or chance to return is futile. Sure, put it in a small bag and commemorate it. It’s part of the grieving process. But new opportunities will grow, new ideas will generate, and new chances are forming at this very moment.

Thursday: People like us that are unwilling to continue like this, have a goal. We’re all in. What’s your ball? What are you chasing? What will you sacrifice to get it?

Friday: What traits are innate in you? You can do the hard and ultimately wasteful work of trying to work outside your giftings, or your can do the hard and ultimately helpful work of learning what it is that makes you tick. (It’s not always obvious.)
