(on a personal note..)
11/11/11 .. Happy (150%?) Pepero day ..
The power has been out for way too long. I haven’t had a good stretch of power for a week, so I’m getting nothing done. The email is piling up, projects are slipping. I spent some time reading a few books and taking care of some odds and ends. I finished the Jobs biography, and found it to be a great read. I see a lot of Steve Jobs in me. I don’t mean that egotistically .. I’m not a genius or anything. I just mean that between his emotional extremes, laser focus and my too-often problem of not being able to put myself in other people’s shoes. Overall, I have a lot of respect for Steve, but moreso for the other players in the story, specifically Bill Gates for his philanthropic insistances and Woz for his heart, passion and principles. I found Woz’s story to be particularly fascinating and through the brief glimpses I had of him, I find that I relate to his philosophies in a lot of ways.
I’m engergized to DO SOMETHING with my life, make a difference, leave a legacy but I keep getting mired down by so many things. It’s a strange time. In a way, I’m almost happy we’re without power. It’s giving me time to think about what my life’s priorities are ..
The comment about wanting to leave a legacy but mired down with so many things, wow that is where we are at. Mired down with trying to provide for my family through our businesses we just started but at the same time wanting to serve God more and to raise our family so they also will make a difference by serving God’s kingdom. I ride that emotional roller coaster all the time, I am up and then down and at times just confused. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
