About a hundred times a week, I stop and snap a pic of something thought-provoking to me. A beer, Walmart weirdo, view from a top of a ladder, someone parking on their lawn, restaurant food, random shiz and maybe an insightful passage.

About once a week I pick one of them that has gave me pause to serve it up for discussion, include it in @wesphilbin's #thoughtfuldailypost movement, and talk about it with the great folks on the #pypt (Pimp Your Post Thursday) an The Ramble discord show https://discord.gg/JJy2Ef

Successes and Tests

I used to like to play the ebbs and flows of life so that I was ready to nail that big win and ready to weather a storm. If life imitates crypto with big, deformed syn waves of up and down, you know that a little parabolic grown will come with good correction back down. Just when?

I attended the opening of a church I helped wire in my business. Church openings are not my thing generally but I wanted to see a good, inspired project get launched by a good inspired guy. This was one of the slides in the service. I may have been the only arsehole with a camera taking a pic but I felt it was worth it for the context of this conversation.

Kinda reinforces the theory but has a much more constructive spin. The success is followed by a test. Get the success knocked off first, then the test will be greater. Being prepared is half the battle and it is learning from (hopefully minimized) losses that will be a key contributor to long-term success.

Thoughts from the leaders here I am fortunate enough to know?
