Spectacular post, Ian. Not sure how I missed this when you published. Your sister is lucky to have you for a big bro.

Good job being the big brother Ian, it's a very important and often undervalued role. .-= The Mayor´s last blog ..Random Sass =-.

Work heals a lot. Purpose heals a lot, and yeah, the resolve makes you better.
Maslow called them peak experiences, and Marcus Aurelius has some even better phrases, but they’ve escaped me. (Spent 10 minutes with the window open thumbing through meditations . Anyway, big heart in this post.

It’s something you can’t learn, huh? I’ve failed so many times in my life. When I looked back at my successes, on what made them different, the difference is resolve. Trusting our instincts and intuition might work 90% of the time, but I think that our intuitions often tell us what we want to believe, not what is true. Hell, our intuitions tell us the Earth is flat.

It takes this understanding, that what feels better is often the wrong path, to fully understand resolve. And once we really succeed, we understand that we feel a whole lot better when we’ve earned the hell out of it.

deep and kinda emotional wow for me
also wow because i have been having this conversation in my family about a family member…who is not moving or taking action or helping self in the face of some difficult roadblocks, and i keep repeating over and over how this is the time for getting over that frozen fear and taking control and feeling rad about yourself for it, i hadn’t used the word resolve but thats what it takes – thats what she needs to have.
it’s scary that is true, i face it as a single parent all the time.
i love the foo fighters.
