Life has meaning, yet so often it seems to not make sense. Two roads diverge, and often we cannot control which way we go. Life has pains, and life has pleasures. It can feel like we are stuck on a sailboat when there is absolutely no wind, or it can feel like a roller coaster without the safety bar.
There is so much we cannot command.
However, we can select our attitude. We can embrace the paradoxes and live here now, or we can dream about never-never land and never really live. We can get disillusioned about how things are not what they should be, or inspired by what things possibly could be.
Part of the problem is that we are looking for the perfect system, or the perfect organization. This carries an implicit assumption that “If we make the system really good, then the people don’t have to be good.” In reality you need both in balance; ”Good system-good people.”
SO this is our charge, “accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, hold on to the affirmative and don’t mess with Mr. Inbetween.

HEY Scotty ... I know you are in Eston but, I rented this amazing film last week called "Born Into Brothels". It will absolutely inspire you! It is a story of a photographer who goes into the Brothels of Calcutta and really connects with the children in these brothels teaches them the art of photography. Cause she wants the world to see the place through the children's eyes ... anyway so amazing! If you can get your hands on a copy ...
