I like the idea of winter, but I don’t like being in the snow, ice and cold.
I like the idea of losing weight, but I don’t like avoiding empty carbohydrates.
I like the idea of training leaders, but I don’t like corrective conversations.
I like the idea of being humble, but I don’t like being overlooked.
I like the idea of being a highly engaged dad, but I don’t like reading children’s books (can’t stop yawning).
I like the idea of learning to play guitar, but I don’t want to spend the time for it.
I like the idea of staying connected with old friends, but I don’t like the work it takes to get together.
Often the idea is glamorous, but the reality is difficult. Life ends up being about the reality. We make our choices, shape our characters, and define our futures on the basis of the realities we live out, not the ideas we imagine.
That hit home…stung a little. Thank you brother
