Making the Time

Lessons from the #Dreamjob

Back in college I decided that I would never grow fond of using two phrases: "I'm busy" and "I don't have time"...no matter how true they might seem. I saw my friends get fond of those phrases and it just didn't come across well.

Because the reality is we're never too busy and we never "don't have time". We just CHOOSE different priorities. And along with those choices, we consequently choose different CONSEQUENCES. And we ALWAYS have a choice of consequences. Sometimes it's the severity of consequences that gives us the impression that we "don't have a choice". Choosing that severe consequence is also an option.

You choose the consequence of a successful career when you give all your time to it. The consequences could include a stressed out family that misses you. Or you could choose the consequences of being a dedicated family man; and suffer the loss of an opportunity for a promotion, a raise or some business opportunity. The economists call it "opportunity cost".

When you say "I'm busy" you're actually choosing that thing which makes you "busy" over that which now seeks your attention.

So next time your kid asks you to hang out with him, think carefully before you tell him "I'm busy" or "I don't have time".

Food for thought.

Heavenise weekend!

Lessons from the #Dreamjob

By GDW on Facebook

I'm a dad now. So apart from my "tokstrets", expect the usual totally biased, boastful and proud opinions about my kid, and the irrational partisan self-promoting evaluations about my performance as a parent, and the domination of baby pics on my wall.

I used to wonder why fb parent friends posted constantly about their kids. Now I have one and I totally get it. Everything else in life fades in comparison to being a parent. The thrill of being completely relied on for life itself, the smile of contentment when they lie in your arms, or fall asleep safely on your chest, beats riding the best roller-coasters or enjoying the best sights in the world (and I've been to some).

This is the greatest wonder of the world. And though I may thrive to be good at many things, I pray I may perform this job so well that my kid can confidently say that I make a great dad.

For every other vocation fades in significance, and no other can be as important in this bankrupt world, as being a father.

Heavenise night.

Reshaping Culture to Accept Degenerate Concepts

On Glee

(With respect to any gay friend)

This "Glee" show on EMTV is sick!

Who the heck is is sponsoring it? The themes are not PNG-relevant. It's a show thats made by Americans, for Americans, of Americans.

But of course this is exactly how modern thought (amoral/post modern worldview) has enslaved the world; through drama, song and entertainment. Reshape the mindset and you reshape culture.

The themes are sickening, notice:

- free love and sex in the teen years
- the "beautification", normalization, and glorification of homosexual relations
- a short-sighted purposeless life that seeks meaning in temporary pleasures, iow VANITY.

I know theres a lot of crap on EMTV but the show is an insult. What's next, "Modern Family" and "Queer as Folk"? We're on a vicious spiral of moral degradation and we're making it worse by airing shows with these themes on prime time TV,where the kids, who are already lost because of absent parents and who are still forming an identity, are watching. They're still collecting ideas about what's ok and what's not.

Glee is sick. And even though this may be a vain call:

I say it pull it off the air.

God Bless PNG.
