the rewards of practicing these principles in all of my affairs, is quite a task to undertake, as i might be considered world famous for finding the ways and means around doing what is suggested. this is, of course, where i could dive into the pool of false humility and totally minimize any effort i make at all, as i once believed i was being told to do. that was way back when, when i still saw the world, especially myself, in black and white. the binary of being humble versus being conceited was part of my belief structure at that time, so to counter that, being humble meant not acknowledging anything that i accomplished, PERIOD! these days i see the world as a infinite continuum between most extremes and find myself moving back and forth towards one extreme or another, never reaching either one. do i hope to one day be some sort of recovery saint, practicing these principles in all of my affairs, all the time, even when no one is looking? not really, but i certainly hope to be a bit better at it today, than yesterday and if not, i have the ways and means to take corrective <SIGH> action.
as i sat this morning, my mind kept turning over the fact that i may lose this week in the first round of fantasy football playoffs. i may have an eighteen point cushion going into the game this evening and it just may be enough. my “kick-ass” team did not kick-ass this week and so i am on the cusp of a defeat. i want to speak to my “skill” at playing this game, but in reality the amount of skill one plays with is tempered by a huge amount of luck, as one is quite powerless over how professional football players happen to play in any given game. doing the research and making what seems like the best decisions is certainly the skill part and i am doing okay in that department as my record over the season demonstrates. the luck part has come into play more than once as my low scores across the season also indicates. so as of right now i am going to have to actually let go of what is happening in the world of professional football and get on with my life, as best that i can.
as i am running a bit behind schedule this morning, i need to get this posted and off to the streets. i do have a path to follow and work to get completed over the course of this day. perhaps, i will even take a phone call from a resident at the Boulder County Sheriff's Bed and Breakfast as i have declined them the last two times he has called. what i do know, for certain, is that just for today i can and will take care of myself and walk through this day causing as few negative consequences as possible, to the best of my ability. 🤣
