CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Are you a humming bird or a vulture? Either way, you will find what you are looking for.

Vultures fly over the landscape looking for the dead carcasses that they rely on for food. They have incredible eyesight and can spot a dead animal from miles away.  Hummingbirds fly over the landscape looking for the flowers that they feed on.  They are attracted by the bright colors and consume the sweet nectar inside the flower.  Vultures fly over flowers and hummingbirds fly over dead animals, but they only notice what they’re looking for.  We’re not that different ourselves.  If you are looking for negative, gloomy, depressing things to make you feel down about life, I can guarantee that you’ll find them. However, if you’re looking for exciting, positive, joyful things to help you maintain an optimistic attitude, you will find them.  It’s possible for two people to be in exactly the same circumstances and have one find the rotting meat and the other find the beautiful flowers.  The ugliness and beauty of life are both there, often side by side.  But what you are looking for is what you’re likely to see and consume, impacting your attitude, your relationships and your level of influence.  What are you going to be, a hummingbird or a vulture?  Remember, it’s your choice!

“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13)

 Story from Rabbi Abraham Twerski

“‘Young man. Why are you eating that fish?’ The young mans says, ‘Because I love fish.’ He says, ‘Oh. You love the fish. That’s why you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.’ He says, ‘Don’t tell me you love the fish. You love yourself, and because the fish tastes good to you; therefore, you took it out of the water and killed it and boiled it.’

“So much of what is love is fish love. Young couple falls in love. Young man and young woman fall in love. What does that mean? That means that he saw in this woman someone who he felt could provide him with all of his physical and emotional needs, and she felt in this man somebody she feels that she can write, that was love, but each one is looking out for their own needs. It’s not love for the other. The other person becomes a vehicle for my gratification.

‌

“Too much of what is called love is fish love. An external love is not on what I’m going to get but I’m going to give. We had an ethicist rabbi Dessler, who said, ‘People make a serious mistake in thinking that you give to those whom you love, and the real answer is you love those to whom you give.’

His point is if I give something to you, I’ve invested myself in you. Since self-love is a given, everybody loves themselves, now that part of me has become in you, there’s part of me in you that I love. True love is a love of giving, not a love of receiving.’

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Life is too short to get upset about stupid little annoyances in our lives. I have been working on this the past 6 months and my wife says I’m sweeter to her. I can tell we are closer and more loving when I’m not always trying to educate and correct her. She is my best friend and not identical to me. If I accept her as she is we lead a much happier life with a tight relationship.

MOLESKIN:
Thanks to locals for showing me around the park on a recon ruck. Nice place you got! Wall ball did some marathon training instead of the beatdown, but we enjoyed his mumblechatter when he passed by.
