SEER IOUSLY

I have never been very good at predicting the future. I don't think most people are able to do that well.

Who, but a small few, could have predicted the techno revolution that is still in its infancy. Back at IBM in the late 60's, computers took up huge rooms at frigid temperatures. When punch cards gave way to large tape drives--boy-- that was innovation in its finest hour. How many of you have ever seen a tape drive? Raise your hand. At that time who would ever have thought that people could carry a computer aka a telephone around in their shirt pocket or purse?

So much has changed in our life time. So much more will change in the next 10+ years.Amazing things will happen to make our lives,health and minds better. Let us look forward to these marvels with anticipation and excitement.

In the meantime, let's focus on the present(see tomorrows blog). We need to stop lamenting the past as it is over and done with--just like tape drives! We need to stop worrying about the future as it will be good and not so good depending. We need to stay in the here and now and look forward optomistically to "what's coming around the corner." Hopefully, it will be good for you and yours.

ON RESILIENCE

This week I have emphasized the importance of sustaining hope, especially during tough times. I just read a brief excerpt in Time Magazine from Elizabeth Edward’s new book, “Resilience.” The little I read speaks of hope.

In 2006 while battling breast cancer that invaded her lymph nodes (not hopeful), with her husband running a dark horse race for President( not hopeful), she learned a few distorted details of her husband’s affair (not hopeful) and later learned from the tabloids that there might be a child involved and that it was more than a one time adventure ( super not hopeful!).

Yet, I sense from my short read that she has hope. They are still together. It feels as if she has planted seeds of forgiveness, while he sows the harvest of distrust. He struggles to separate these newly sprouted weeds, from the lush green grass of old. Glop kicks ass every time (see next Monday’s blog).

The title fits perfectly and my guess is the book is worth the read, especially if it inspires hope. I would go so far as to say that hope is the fuel that powers resilience and enables us to overcome severe blows to our trust.

I wish the Edward’s family well—we can only HOPE!

YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT’S COMING AROUND THE CORNER

This blog is dedicated to the fine woman who inspired it.



What I really like about life is the title of this blog. Whether I am in the African bush, wandering the streets of the Big Apple or the much quieter spaces of Coral Springs and Jupiter, Florida, I just never know. Same for you, wherever you are.

I will be the first to admit that sometimes what’s coming at us really sucks. OMG it can take you to dark, low and challenging spaces in a flash. But, that is life! Our job is to rise to it and live through it---hopefully.

Other times, however, what comes at us is heaven on earth, pure joy and dynamite in the most positive sense of the term. That is what makes life interesting, exciting and worth living. It is also what enables us to get through difficult times. Life gets better and worse and better again-hopefully!

As Freud taught us years ago, what we need to feel fulfilled is Love and Work. I will add that it really helps if we love our work! Many people are s… out of luck in both areas for the moment. There is no denying these are rough and tumble times.

But good things may be coming around the corner. We can only hope they will come soon. I wish you well.

HOPE FULLY!

Yesterday’s blog came from a sign that sits in my office that simply says, “HOPE.”

Hope is one of life’s most essential ingredients! Without it there is only sadness, pessimism and a revolving door of self-fulfilling, not so wonderful, prophecies.

With Hope we keep our dreams alive. With it we can set and reset our goals, learning and growing along the way.

HOPE—a simple word really—is a complex set of beliefs about anticipating and enjoying positive outcomes. Ultimately, it is what enables us to believe in ourselves.

Keep believing in you and keep HOPE alive, both in your head and in your heart.


Bye For Now,

Bill
