Podcast appearances and mentions of Robert Fulghum

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things by Robert Fulghum was published in 1986. It was quite the rage because it was filled with commonsense life maxims. I read it and appreciated the author's point that even children can (and should) learn how to behave toward others. We are almost 40 years later, and it seems like a prehistoric work of fiction. When I purchased this book, I had yet to turn 30. I had two small children and a wife I'd been married to for about nine years. Back then, the content was much less remarkable than it is today. I appreciated Mr. Fulghum's sentiment that kindness and courtesy are behaviors he learned as a small child, but that was then and now. When Fulghum grew up, parents trained children by providing guard rails, forbidding certain misbehavior, and encouraging proper behaviors. That's much less visible today. When I first read the book, I quickly realized that kindergarten didn't teach me these things, but my parents and older folks did. Increasingly, I realized they weren't teaching me some arbitrary rules they had constructed. Their training manual wasn't a book by some doctor or psychologist. They were using the Bible, the Word of God. The book focuses on fundamentals, such as the " golden rule," which originated in God's mind. John 13:34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another". Matthew 7:12 "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." I learned that at home while reading the Bible. I also learned it by attending worship services every Sunday, a day that was (and still is) referred to as "the Lord's Day." Of course, every day belongs to the Lord, but the day of worship is unique and set apart for public worship. Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day (of worship, Sunday) approaching." As an old man, I reflect on my training, and I've remained true to it because it was always based on the ultimate authority, God, and the Savior of all mankind, Jesus Christ. It wasn't just a group of old people who littered my life, nor was it just my mom or dad imposing their will. It was a pattern for living, trained into me by these people who loved me and wanted only my best. Over the years, I've leaned hard on the precepts and principles of my training and continued it. It didn't stop when I turned 18 or 21. The truth is, I made more dedicated, conscious efforts after I became an adult. I spent more hours studying and conversing with older mentors who continued my training. The foundation had been set, but the building didn't begin until I was an adult, out on my own. That's the litmus test for convictions - when you're on your own, no longer under the thumb of anybody else, and free to choose for yourself. When that time comes, what will you do? How will you behave? Honesty, truth, kindness, courtesy (and much more) were instilled when I was a child, but as an adult, many no longer make those choices. We justify our poor behavior, choosing to be victims of others or circumstances we don't think we deserve. I first saw deception at work on a stereo store showroom floor during my teen years. If a shopper was lied to about a piece of gear they considered, they might buy it. If you told the truth, they might not. My training and my conscience wouldn't let that happen. It became easier when I realized that telling the truth worked better than telling the lies I knew others were telling. It turns out that the truth always works best. Personality and communication play a role, but the truth and doing what's right aren't subjective to either one. I've learned that some people struggle to communicate cl...

In this newsletter we discuss two main things, the parenting moment is about how they are always listening and the training thought is about how you shouldn't fear the odd day off (you can read the article I referred to by ⁠⁠clicking here⁠⁠).

Can space debris trigger an international crisis? Join us as we uncover the intricate world of space law and policy with Daniel Porras, Corporate Counsel and Director of International Government and Regulatory Affairs at Rogue Space Systems. Daniel shares his expert insights on the escalating participation of private enterprises in space and the labyrinthine legal frameworks governing satellite operations. With up to two million new satellites expected by 2030, the conversation delves into the urgency of establishing clear international regulations to prevent conflicts and ensure the longevity of space missions. Imagine a world without GPS – our economic stability and security hanging by a thread. This episode underscores the critical reliance on GPS for essential functions, from financial transactions on Wall Street to daily navigation. We explore the dire consequences of a GPS system failure, be it from solar flares or hostile acts, and spotlight the environmental and commercial dangers posed by anti-satellite weapon tests. Through the lens of Russia's controversial 2021 test that jeopardized the International Space Station, we examine the persistent challenges in managing space debris and ensuring space security. We also underscore the importance of fostering global talent and innovation to propel the space industry forward.

Whew! Have you ever come across a concept or a phrase and it just stuck with you??? As the author Robert Fulghum once described it as "An idea that sticks like a burr to your mental sock!" Well... THAT happened to me recently when I came across the phrase: "A Transitional Character." It was coined by the late Carlfred Broderick who was a well-respected marriage and family scholar at the University of Southern California. Broderick described it this way: "A 'Transitional Character' is one who, in a single generation, changes the entire course of a lineage." Now... he was quick to point out that those changes might be for good or ill. BUT... as an example... he pointed to a number of scenarios where someone who grew up in an abusive and/or emotionally destructive environment but they were somehow able to find a way to shift things and not pass that on to THEIR children. As Broderick was know for saying, "They break the mold." Yup... LOVE that. How about YOU? What if you were the TRANSITIONAL CHARACTER in YOUR line? What if you broke off: fear limited thinking lack timidity What if you were able to replace it with: love hope strength abundance confidence What if? Yeah... let's talk about THAT? __________________________ Be sure to hit me up with questions at www.encouragingtheencouragers.com and I'll answer them as we go!

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “According to [Dr. Jean] Twenge [a co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic and professor of psychology at San Diego State University], indicators of self-esteem have risen consistently since the 1980s…. But, she says, what starts off as healthy self-esteem can quickly morph into an inflated view of oneself—a self-absorption and sense of entitlement that looks a lot like narcissism….” ~“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly “The trouble with human nature is that we are born with a heart that loves ourselves over and above everything else in this world, including God. In short, we are born slaves to the lust for self-gratification, i.e., concupiscence. That's why, if left to ourselves, we will always love those things that make us feel good about ourselves, even as we depart more and more from God and his ways. Therefore, God must intervene in our lives in order to bring salvation.” ~Dr. Ashley Null, resident scholar at Humboldt University in Berlin in his work “Thomas Cranmer's Doctrine of Repentance: Renewing the Power of Love” “When we are securely rooted in personal intimacy with the source of life, it will be possible to remain flexible without being relativistic, convinced without being rigid, willing to confront without being offensive, gentle and forgiving without being soft, and true witnesses without being manipulative.” ~Henri Nouwen (1932-1996), priest, professor, and writer “Don't worry that your children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” ~Robert Fulghum, American author “One of my mom's favorite sayings: ‘Behind every successful child is an astonished parent.'” ~Cory Booker, attorney and U.S. Senator SERMON PASSAGE Ephesians 6:1-4 (ESV) Ephesians 5 15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 6 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Deuteronomy 6 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Back around 1988 or '89, you could hardly go anywhere without seeing a little book written by a former Unitarian minister called All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Readers all over the world were struck by the simplicity and elegance and wisdom of that little book. That man was Robert Fulghum, and his book stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for two years. Here's how he summed up the book when he and I first talked about it in 1988: A year later, we met again, to talk about his sequel, a book called It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It.

Kids have so much to teach us! Their perspective is so pure and innocent, and in observing them we can learn how to be better humans. Join me as I share some of the lessons I have learned from children in my life. And here are the quotes I shared at the beginning of class :) “Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.” — Henry Ward Beecher, reverend and social activist “The soul is healed by being with children.” — Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Russian novelist and philosopher “Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.” — Wess Stafford, President Emeritus of Compassion International “You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.” — Franklin P. Jones, American humorist “Children see magic because they look for it.” — Christopher Moore, writer “While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about.” — Angela Schwindt, home schooling mom “Pretty much all the honest truth telling there is in the world is done by children.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes, author and poet “Children seldom misquote. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.” — Author unknown “Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” — Robert Fulghum, author “Children are a great comfort to us in our old age, and they help us reach it faster too.” — Author unknown “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” — Albert Einstein, theoretical physicist “A characteristic of the normal child is he doesn't act that way very often” — Author unknown “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” — Fred Rogers, television personality “I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.” — Harry S. Truman, 33rd President of the United States “The best inheritance a parent can give his children is a few minutes of his time each day.” — Orlando Aloysius Battista, Canadia-American chemist and author https://www.compassion.com/poverty/famous-quotes-about-children.htm "Children are not a distraction from more important work, they are the most important work." – C.S. Lewis

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are sitting up tall, raising our hand, and resisting the urge to cut line as we come to the realization that, all I needed to learn, I learned in Kindergarten. Think about it, it was our foundation for out to treat other people. Unless you grew up with a gaggle of brothers and sisters, it was your first attempt at socialization. You and 23 other little screaming demons. Remember, naptime? Having had children of my own, getting a room full of 5-year-olds to all lay down and take a nap all at the same time is beyond my comprehension! Magic I tell you! So what have we been doing since we mastered the basics? We've been formulating strong opinions and judgments and then finding every chance we can get to share them. We've forgotten the basics and have started creating our own laws of human decency. Ones that fit and support our own narratives. Don't you wish you could give some people a good old-fashioned time-out? Notice I didn't say a trip to the woodshed but I know that's what you were thinking. I decided to explore this idea based on a popular book by Robert Fulghum; All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Published in 1990 with 7 million copies sold because I found myself shaking my head to outlandish stories of human behavior. The nerve, the Gaul, the perceived right? Whatever happened to common decency? Two teachers in one of my groups commonly refer to this book when we are left perplexed. So I decided to dig into basic manners that transcend every generation and stage of life as well as some that have evolved, thank goodness. I think it's important to remember how far we've come but not to lose sight of the obvious, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  I remember a time when asking someone their age, weight, or salary was a huge no-no. Casual conversation was warned to avoid topics like politics or religion. Personal details were to be offered at a minimum to spare you and the other person. And unless someone offered a window, you didn't pry! Today someone will ask you who you voted for and if you're vaccinated without a second thought. Then if you decide to even answer, truthfully, you are either congratulated for being in alignment with their thinking or chastised, lectured, and/or bullied. Whoa!

Trong cuốn sách Nội Tâm Bí Ẩn của mình, Robert Fulghum đã gửi tới bạn đọc những câu chuyện được xem là những chiếc chìa khóa để khám phá đời sống bí mật hay cũng chính là đời sống nội tâm bí ẩn của mỗi người. Ở đó có những câu chuyện sâu sắc, thâm thúy; cũng có những câu chuyện mang tính hài hước. Có lẽ, vì bản thân là người từng kinh qua nhiều công việc, vai trò như ca sĩ, họa sĩ, nhân viên kinh doanh, chuyên viên pha chế rượu, giáo viên hội họa, mục sư… nên những đề tài được Robert Fulghum đề cập trong cuốn sách của mình hết sức phong phú và đa dạng. Có những đề tài mang tính cao siêu trong cảm hứng về tôn giáo, về toán học, âm nhạc cổ điển… nhưng được tác giả thể hiện bằng những câu chuyện gần gũi, giản dị. Maybe hay Maybe not là những từ dùng để ám chỉ điều có thể hay không thể của một vấn đề nào đó. Tất cả những gì chúng ta nghĩ, chúng ta tin, hay chúng ta đã làm, đó chỉ là chuyện của chúng ta. Số phận của chúng ta đang nằm trong tay ta liệu ta có dám quả quyết rằng chúng ta sẽ làm được những điều mà từ bấy lâu nay chúng ta không hề tưởng tượng đến hay không. Bạn không cần phải là một giáo sư thần học hay thuộc về một tổ chức tôn giáo nào, nhưng chính bạn phải là người giải quyết vấn đề trong cuộc sống của mình dù theo cách này hay cách khác. Maybe là câu nói của chúng ta và cũng là câu trả lời thông mình nhất để giúp ta rộng mở cánh cửa tri thức, giúp ta nhận biết được ý nghĩa cuộc sống. Cuộc sống hàng ngày xảy ra rất nhiều điều nhưng chúng ta phải luôn tin rằng, chính chúng ta phải đối mặt và giải quyết các vấn đề ấy một cách triệt để, hơn thế nữa quyển sách này cho ta thấy được rằng trong mọi hoàn cảnh khó khăn luôn song hành với nó là hướng giải quyết.

As the author of 21 books and a career that has spanned multiple decades, how to you stay curious about the world around you? This is just one of the things we discover on this week's episode, a deep and intimate conversation with author Robert Fulghum, who just happens to be a personal friend of Katy. Katy's also explores Fulghum's uncanny ability to attain resilience in the face of what some would deem to be disaster, why Robert dismisses the "meaningless" idea of personal authenticity, how travel shapes your life (and why he makes sure never to dress like a tourist!) and the simple thing that one elementary school teacher did that still makes him tear up thinking about it. Read Third Wish, the book by Fulghum that changed Katy's life (and which she has talked about numerous times on the show), and download (for free!!) some of Robert's personal favorites of his own books.

I keep thinking about an essay I read in the book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum. He writes about how he lived at the dead end of a dead-end street, two blocks long, at the bottom of a hill in north Seattle. At the top of the hill, two big yellow and black signs declared: STREET ENDS. And at the end of the street where Fulghum resided, another big sign with stripes and reflectors stated the obvious: DEAD END.

Guest Angelo Giardino, MD, FAAP Host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP. This week's episode is Angelo’s Book Club discussing All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum. Don't miss a great discussion! For more information visit vCurb.com.

SHOW NOTES:  On this show...we are celebrating a lifelong love of learning. Ok, maybe you’re not ready for a celebration just yet I mean life lessons can seem cruel but we are going to spend some time walking through the process stopping to appreciate the little gifts - revelations and enlightenment. Can we all laugh at the fact you can be told something a thousand times in different ways but until you come to a level of understanding on your own, you just won’t buy it. Some may say hard-headed but that’s the beauty of life and all it has to teach us. Not all lessons are painful and with a natural curiosity, this pursuit for knowledge about yourself and the world around you can be the fun part of the journey. If you would have used words like “lifelong learning” too little Kendall she would have thought you were crazy. What do you mean learning for a lifetime? Are you ever done? Won’t I ever be smart enough? What’s the point? As with many things, we’ve been conditioned to look for the destination to completion of the race, to file the paperwork, etc. To grasp this concept that you are never quite complete is a hard pill to swallow. Unless you look at it as a gift. I am never complete, I get to keep trying again and again. The more I learn the more I grow, the more I grow the more I learn. How wonderful. I’m on a lifelong journey pursuing knowledge and wisdom through experiences and my connections. Isn’t that a better way to view the glass? Why You Should Never Stop Learning from heragenda.com Broadening horizons Keeping your mind sharp Giving back Confidence boost Find something new Throughout your journey, you will wear different hats and play different roles in regard to your education. Sometimes you’ll be the teacher, sometimes the student, other times the curriculum designer, and maybe even the proctor of your own life challenges. What have you learned that was an ah-ha moment for you? Have you heard yourself echoing the same things your parents tried so hard to drill into your head earlier rather than later?  Sometimes it’s the most basic of concepts. Have you heard of the book: All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum? Be prepared for mind-blown and the revelation that you may have not been paying attention to. Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. This whole concept reminds me that the many hours I spent watching some incredibly ridiculous reality tv was a huge waste of time and mind space. The fodder that I allowed to be filtered through my precious mind is almost criminal. I’m now at that precious place in my life where I want more and more and more. More ideas, perspectives, concepts, experiences...ALL of it, and more of it. I’ve been obsessed with reading about exploration and significant historical events. No longer am I interested in purely entertainment - I want to learn! I found a delightful article full of learning from Quincy Seale; 8 Life Lessons From Benjamin Franklin Winners Wake Up Early Clear Your Head Make A Plan Never Stop Learning Routine is a Good Thing Take It Easy Make Time For Family, Friends, and Fun Take Time to Reflect There is so much to be learned along the way. Everyone wants to blaze their own trail but why not pick up some tools from the ones that went before you. Imagine the enlightenment that Benjamin Franklin had and was able to pass down through all of his work. What are you learning that you can pass on?  Linda Darby shares some of life’s truths with us on, Have the Talk of a Lifetime. Talkofalifetime.com Here are just a few… Attitude Don’t let your age define you – It’s just a number, right? How many times have you met someone and been shocked when you learn how old they are? Relationships Relationships first – Ultimately, our relationships with our family and friends are among the only things that matter. Make time to talk to them. Nurture and protect these relationships every single day. Who haven’t you talked to in a while? Things vs Experiences Experience life – Traveling and trying new things are incredibly satisfying, especially compared to material stuff. Seize every opportunity you can, and invite your family and friends to join you! Keep a journal as you go. It will help you share the memories when you get home. I love that I’m still learning. How defeating would it be if this was it? My goal is to reprioritize my world to include space to intentionally learn. I’m more aware than ever of what I allow in my mind and how I use the information. For me, connections and making time to encourage others are important. Life-balance is critical for my well being so I’m constantly striving to give enough yet have enough. 11 Life Lessons from Maya Angelou on Christine Mann’s blog, youneverstoplearning.com Here are just a few… I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.' 'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.' 'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back....'   CHALLENGE: Increase your curiosity and pursue more. More knowledge, more experiences, more connections, and more joy. Celebrate the revelations and the enlightenment of finally connecting the dots. Take that learning and share it with others as you grow.   I Know YOU Can Do It!

Bravery does not require an absence of fear. Bravery acknowledges the fear and does it anyway.This week's stories include tales of doctor office visits, angel cheerleaders in the form of middle school teachers, closet cheetahs and tigers, and the bravery to leave a marriage. You will leave this episode feeling enlivened, bolstered, and just maybe your flicker of bravery blooming into a full flame.She references the inimitable Elizabeth Gilbert and Robert Fulghum.

Who was your most memorable teacher? Have you thanked that teacher or professor lately? No matter where we are in our schooling or what profession we are in, someone helped to shape who we are and deserves some of the credit for our success.

Rounding out this Thankfulness Series in November is the lovely and talented Liberty Worth on this week's episode.   Liberty shares how she takes your precious memories from fabrics, like lace, cotton, silk, wool, corduroy, and denim from that scarf you got on a trip to Italy, a wedding or bridesmaids dress, or a loved one's favorite shirt, and turns it into art.    She believes that fabric holds memories, and her mission is to take those sentimental items that may be taking up space in your drawers, closet, or storage area and transform them into functional quilts for a bed or hanging wall art. These heirloom quality works of art are a modern take on quilted designs that will tell meaningful stories for generations to come.    As an organizer, I love how she takes these important, sentimental items that may be crowding your space or reading as clutter and creates a simplified, artistic way for the whole family to enjoy them!   Not only did we talk about her masterful quilts, but we dove into why serving the community through volunteering, teaching others how to sew, cranking out masks for those in need, and working on a neighborhood beautification project in downtown LA, absolutely lights her up!  Highlights from this episode:    {1:59} Introduction to Liberty {6:07} Repurpose fabrics to create art {12:25} Reliving your memories through the fabrics {22:33} The Coloring Book Plaza event and neighborhood beautification  Mentioned on this episode:   Ep 1: The 3 E's Philosophy  Ep 35: Finding Blessings in 2020   Liberty's YouTube link to making masks: https://youtu.be/0fbFTgaq2nM Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn quote: “Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.”   Robert Fulghum quote: “All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten.”  This episode is joyful and definitely inspires me to let my treasured pieces shine in a new way. I hope you'll feel the same!   For more information about Liberty's designs and turning your memories into art checkout her website libertyworthart.com and connect with her on Instagram @libertyworthart.    Need additional organization and style resources?

Listování je zajímavý projekt. „Děláme divadelní představení na základě knížky, kterou seškrtám na 50 minut,“ vysvětluje v Blízkých setkáních.

Now that you know about that humor box that needs a filing system, you may just be a little curious what gems of thought are in that box. I have always been blessed whenever I listen to the children. Consequently, I file away their thoughts in my treasure thoughts, along with that bit of humor that adds zest in my day.I remember reading this poem, years ago.Between the dark, and the daylight. When the night is beginning to lower, come the pause and the day's occupation. That is known as the children's hour. Amazing as it may seem, some of the greatest creative thoughts come to the children in the evening hour, and we may think that we are too tired.Since I was born in the day before kindergarten, I cannot say with Robert Fulghum, "All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten." I find the need to listen to the children who could write many how-to manuals and handbooks. Especially interesting is their thoughts on how they would manage a farm. Their methods sound so simple. For they choose to do it the simple way, not so complicated. The simplest way of how to milk a cow is to first get a lady cow. The second step is to pull her "others," and just squeeze. And of course, the third step is to get milk and fill the bucket. "Isn't that simple as pie?" I was asked after listening to these simple directions. Feeding Old McDonald's pig is another story, and very interesting and rather simple, when you listen to the children with a creative imagination. First step is to listen when the pig says, "oink, oink!" Next, you put on rubber gloves because the food smells. Then you mix old beans, corn, old eggs, or anything too old to eat. Put food in the pig dish and wait until he eats it.Then you can go and play.I am simply filled with wonder at the creative imagination that children in kindergarten have these days. I am sure I will learn more, as I listen. I still have a lot to learn as I missed kindergarten.Warm Thoughts: Respect your child's enthusiasm and creative imagination. Make time for hunting rainbows. Have many warm thoughts, as you listen to the children.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea by Luetta G.

How To Turn Bad News Into An Opportunity "When things go wrong, it doesn't mean that everything's wrong. See it as the way the universe is reorganizing itself to provide you something better."-Lia Dunlap (04:04-04:23) How do you handle bad news? Is there such a thing as bad news? If you get what others might perceive as bad news, do you react in a way they expect you to respond? Or do you react curiously, responsively, and openly?  In this week's episode, join me and learn how to turn every bad news that comes your way into an opportunity.  Part One of 'How To Turn Bad News Into An Opportunity.' A book by Robert Fulghum called 'All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten' is a bunch of essays. In one of the essays, he talked about problems versus inconvenience. The premise was that the person he was speaking to was a survivor of the Holocaust. In the conversation, they were talking about something he was complaining about. Then he asked, "Was it a problem, or is it an inconvenience? I want to take that one step further and say, "Is it a problem, an inconvenience, or an opportunity?" The topic that we're going to discuss today came up to me because I'm currently moving. Our home was inspected, and it's a very old home. Of course, many things that an old home has that new homes do not have. So many things are going to come upon the inspection. When the realtor called, he said, "This might be challenging the deal because there are these problems that came up." During our conversation, he was feeling concerned about having to share what he called bad news. "If something is happening, it's happening so that things get better so that things evolve, and so that people are moved around into the right spot to get what they need." -Lia Dunlap (05:09-05:22) My core belief is that the universe is always working on my side, always working things out for me. I then look at the bad news as an opportunity.  Perhaps there's a new buyer who is waiting for this home. I believe that there is the right person to be the owner of our home who will see it for all the amazing things it is and want it just the way it is.   I can choose how I perceive what I'm experiencing based on my own beliefs about the world —and so do you. Part Two of 'How To Turn Bad News Into An Opportunity.' Do you expect that when things go wrong, that's a sign that everything's wrong? Try to look at it as the way the universe is reorganizing itself to provide you something better. That is what it means to live in not a problem, not the inconvenience, but in possibility. Living in the best possible possibility has value, has joy, and has ease in it.  "To live a life of significance means understanding that every moment is an opportunity. There's a possibility in everything that's in front of us if we choose to look for it." -Lia Dunlap (06:34-06:53) You can look at the things that come up along the way and know that you can choose every moment to look for the opportunity, not just for yourself, but for the way that the universe wants to evolve.  My encouragement for you today is to decide about what's happening around you right now? How is that working for you? What are you receiving from this experience?  I guarantee you; there's something in it for you. And if you look for that, you'll find it. It all comes down to what do you want your experience of the bad news to be. Next Steps: Discover the five essential steps to go from frustrated, annoyed, or not living your purpose to a successful purpose-driven leader. purposeandprosperityroadmap.com

What are your beliefs?  Are you afraid to take a stand because you feel like a rabbit surrounded by wolves?  This episode investigates the dynamic and boundaries of people-pleasing and belief declarations.   "All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten." --Robert Fulghum

Robert Fulghum napsal knížku Všechno, co opravdu potřebuju znát, jsem se naučil v mateřské školce. A já bych dodala: možná ani netřeba chodit do předškolního zařízení, stačí zajít na dětské hřiště. To je škola života! V kostce. Totiž v bábovičkách. A v herních prvcích. A v babičkách a v hrajících si prccích.

A COLLEAGUE FROM MY DAYS IN THE CLASSROOM I recently had a conversation with an incredible educator who I’m privileged to call “friend.” Susan Densmore-James and I worked together at Rachel Carson Middle School, in Herndon, Virginia, teaching 8th graders. Her classroom was next door to mine; she taught English and I taught social studies, as part of a team – we had the same set of 140ish students. The advice Susan shared in our discussion was GOLD. Much of what she talks about is so timely, during this unusual season of COVID19, as teacher gear up to start the school year. She drops all kinds of amazing strategies throughout our conversation, so if you’re a teacher – particularly a middle school teacher – make sure you have a pen and paper ready to jot down some notes. The highlights of Part One of our interview follow. CLASSROOM PRIORITIES What works in the classroom can work online too. The right mindset matters. Use the tools you have – especially the Zoom breakout rooms. Building community is the most important task at the beginning of the year This is especially true with elearning, and with your virtual classroom; teachers will likely have to spend more time at the beginning of the year building community You can build community as you teach students how to use technology appropriately, and you can bake it into curriculum-related activities. Ask yourself: What can I do online, in Zoom Rooms, and as a larger group, to build community? Remember that the more students see the teacher on video, the more connected they will feel. Be vulnerable with them on camera, let them see the real you. Strategies to try: First-Chapter Friday 1. Read aloud to students from a YA book. 2. Model reading strategies, like sharing your thoughts as you read. Classroom Rules Activity 1. Set up Zoom room for class 2. Read “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” by Robert Fulghum 3. Share a copy with each student. 4. Tell students they will be randomly assigned to Zoom Room small groups, where they need to decide which 1 rule should be the classroom rule for the year. They must make their claim, give evidence and reasoning for the rule they chose, and present their group’s ideas to the whole class at the end of the allotted time. 5. Use the Zoom Room feature to put students in small groups. 6. Monitor the Zoom Rooms. 7. Bring the group back together and discuss what the groups decided. 8. Choose as a large group the one rule for the class. YOUR CLASSROOM ISN’T BOUND BY WALLS ANYMORE Showing up for the parents is crucial for a successful year. Again, be willing to be vulnerable on camera – whether live or recorded. Let the parents see who you are. Set a tone of “Nothing is going to be perfect, and we’re a support team for the students.” Establish that the “word of the year” is grace. Get your plan for the year together before school starts. Detail how your classroom will work online. Clearly articulate your plan to the parents – write it and video it. Put both versions someplace they can access them online and send them the links. Parents will work with you when they know you’re a person. Be willing to show up imperfectly and vulnerably Don’t be scared of the camera. Let go of perfectionism. (70% is perfect, 100% is failure) We learn more from failure than from earning a perfect score. COVID19 has slowed us down and allowed us to be more reflective – leverage that in your classroom. Being able to embrace the messiness is going to serve you better than anything else right now. NEXT TIME Be sure to catch the second part of my conversation with Susan as we talk about collegiality and communicating with other educators as you navigate this school year.

Sometimes we need to retreat to the porch with some kind vibes and mostly harmless advice, and that's why this time around, we reached into the past for All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. It's a thick slice of I'm okay and you're okay so let's talk about dinosaurs and space with youth pastor slash weed dad Robert Fulghum. So grab a cold drink and some comfortable clothes, because we're going to go forth and jump in puddles! NOTE TO SELF: Check to see if jumping in puddles is actually fun. Seems kinda cold and wet. Also, Jay would like to see that chicken-fried steak is the best thing to write an essay about.

Featured guests include Dr. Paul Pearsall, a neuropsychologist and New York Times best-selling author of Super Joy; Robert Fulghum, a minister and author of New York Times best-seller All I Really Need To Know, I Learned in Kindergarten; and Wally “Famous” Amos, entrepreneur and author or The Power In You. The experts respond to audience members’ questions and answer some of life’s toughest questions: Is life unfair? Does everything happen for a reason? Do we have control over our lives? The three also discuss the importance of self-love, recognizing that love is a decision and how joy equals acceptance. Dr. Paul Pearsall passed away in 2007.

“Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” Robert Fulghum, author of Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten When I got a call from the principal asking if I was available to come to school “right now” to help comfort my daughter, my heart sank. When I arrived, I could hear her screaming from down the hall. As I stepped into the room, she was highly agitated, not in control of her emotions, wandering around the room tipping over chairs and screaming about how she hated this place and her teachers. I was heartbroken for her pain and panicked not knowing how to quickly de-escalate things in this public space. We survived the immediate crisis, left the room and headed toward the car. As soon as the door shut, I could no longer hold back the tears, full of sorrow for what she was going through. My emotions were so raw and uncontrollable. According to the research, it was because my brain chemistry was literally changing. The natural human imperative is for ourselves to become less as others become more. parentspriestsgenerals.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dano-jukanovich/support

"All I Need To Know" was not only a Kenny Chesney song, in 1988, author Robert Fulghum published an essay and book titled "All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten."  This episode talks about the wisdom in his essay that we need today more than ever.       

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.” - Robert Fulghum.Are you feeling stressed? Have you noticed you do things that are bad for you when facing difficult or challenging situations? Well, you’re not alone. In episode 7, Dangerous Coping, Elaina and Tracy discussed the dangers of common maladaptive coping strategies often used to deal with stressful and unpleasant situations and provide their top five adaptive coping strategies.We are discussing how people often used to deal with stressful and unpleasant situations. We are challenged with finding ways to through everything that comes our way. Some of us develop adaptive coping strategies, which means you find a helpful, positive approach to cope. Others rely on maladaptive coping, and these strategies are often counterproductive, harmful, and puts not only our mental health at risk but also our physical health.Maladaptive coping is classified into three categories, Overcompensation, Surrender, and Avoidance. Some of the behaviors include but are not limited to, aggression and hostility, recognition-seeking, manipulation, passive-aggressiveness, compliance and dependency, social withdrawal, binge drinking, drug use, unsafe safe or excessive sexual interactions.TranscriptResources, Connect, Shop and SubscribeFind Support (https://copequeens.com/find-support)Shop (https://copequeens.com/shop)Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/copequeenspodcast)Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/copequeenspodcast)Twitter (https://twitter.com/copequeens)Support the show (http://paypal.me/copequeens)

Robert Fulghum says, “Don’t worry that your children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” Yes, like it or not, what we moms do is a pattern that our kids tend to follow. From us they are learning skills for their own lives. So, Paul’s words speak loudly to us when he says, “In everything set them an example by doing what is good” (Titus 2:7).

Show Notes   Are you ready for yet another conversation about things we are not supposed to talk about? We've done religion and politics, now I want to learn about dying and how we can best prepare for the inevitable. My guest today is an expert on the subject and, no, he is not a mortician. My special guest is Keith Page, a funeral celebrant who works closely with families in the midst of a death. Keith's focus is to prepare people of all ages of how to manage the entire process of dying. Let me read a piece Keith gave me before the show: “Death is a vast mystery but there are two things we can say about it: it is absolutely certain that we will die, but what is uncertain is when or how we will die. The only sure thing we have, then, is this uncertainty about the hour of our death - which we use as an excuse to postpone facing death directly.  Instead of dealing with it as a normal part of life, death is treated as an unexpected emergency; something that happens when the medical community fails. We always die of something - as though if it weren't for that disease or accident we could have lived on. Very often those who take time to plan arrangements with death also end up having made new arrangements with life. After they know they are going to die, people often live and die well. We've all heard stories of what happens when people find out they have a limited time to live. Many finally start living well. They simplify their lives, spend time with those they love, slow down and get around to doing many things they had put off.”  So that's our topic for the day. Taken from 'Tibetan Book of Living and Dying' by Sogyal Rinpoche and ‘From Beginning to End - the Rituals of Our Lives' by Robert Fulghum.  You can contact Keith Page at keith@keithpage.org Also check out www.deathcafe.com For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life

On this episode, for election day I share a short story by Robert Fulghum.

www.rickrood.com Episode 4 discusses a concept introduced by Robert Fulghum, "Don't worry that the kids won't listen to you ... worry that they are always watching you" and developing a role model mentality that goes beyond just when you think students are watching. Behavior guidance is a topic that I am frequently asked to teach and speak about.  Here, I've highlighted five key principles in your quest for mastery-level Behavior Guidance.

REFLECTION QUOTES “According to [Dr. Jean] Twenge [a co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic and professor of psychology at San Diego State University], indicators of self-esteem have risen consistently since the 1980s…. But, she says, what starts off as healthy self-esteem can quickly morph into an inflated view of oneself—a self-absorption and sense of entitlement that looks a lot like narcissism….” ~“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly “The trouble with human nature is that we are born with a heart that loves ourselves over and above everything else in this world, including God. In short, we are born slaves to the lust for self-gratification, i.e., concupiscence. That's why, if left to ourselves, we will always love those things that make us feel good about ourselves, even as we depart more and more from God and his ways. Therefore, God must intervene in our lives in order to bring salvation.” ~Ashley Null, scholar at Humboldt University in Berlin “When we are securely rooted in personal intimacy with the source of life, it will be possible to remain flexible without being relativistic, convinced without being rigid, willing to confront without being offensive, gentle and forgiving without being soft, and true witnesses without being manipulative.” ~Henri Nouwen (1932-1996), priest, professor and writer “Don't worry that your children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” ~Robert Fulghum, American author “When you have children, your perspective on the parent-child relationship alters.” ~Salman Rushdie, British Indian novelist and essayist “Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.” ~Plato, ancient Greek philosopher and founder of the Academy in Athens “It is a wise parent who knows his own child.” ~William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and playwrigh SERMON PASSAGE Genesis 1:26-31 & Mark 7:20-23 (ESV) Genesis 1 26 Then God said, “Let us make manin our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Mark 7 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

“Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” ~Robert Fulghum.

We are joined by bestselling author Robert Fulghum. It is hard to wrap our mind around a precise meaning of life, but Robert's words lead us to a river of sustenance—to places that nourish, heal, and help us go beyond ourselves. Through the experiences he shares, you get a sense of his perspective and the values he holds that make his life full of rich experiences and adventures that span time, relationships, and space. We hope you enjoy the conversation. 

Over the years, Paper Napkin Wisdom guests have described ways for entrepreneurs to structure their business and life in a way that gears them for success. While some topics have been complex, today’s podcast gets us back to the basic. Serial entrepreneur Bill Dallas explains his guiding principles in business and life for the past three decades. “Pairing means with meaning is the only way to live a full life,” he asserts. “Means” refers to the problems entrepreneurs solve, while “meaning” describes the purpose behind their efforts. He believes that merging the two ideals is the key to successful entrepreneurship and a happy life. He started his businesses back in the 1980s in an old Victorian home. Back then, entrepreneurship was just barely in vogue.  “I had to apply meaning to the things I was doing on a daily basis, even when they weren’t things I necessarily enjoyed doing,” Bill recalls. By deriving meaning from even the most mundane of tasks, he was able to parlay that passion and become the founder of several lending companies across the United States. “When you apply meaning to what you do today, you feel successful in the moment and it propels you to success and creates exponential results,” he says. He also doesn’t believe in putting any energy into tasks that don’t revolve around the ultimate goal, stating that it’s a waste of energy. “When you apply meaning to your means, the problems you solve and things you learn will end up teaching you where you need to go,” he remarks. Bill has several nuggets derived from his years of experience. He believes in keeping things simple but intentional and authentic.  In fact, Bill gives each of his new employees the acclaimed Robert Fulghum title All I Really Need to Know I’ve Learned in Kindergarten. “We already know pretty much everything we need to,” he says, “Living this way will attract like-minded people.” He also believes that all entrepreneurs must embody four personas in order to be successful. “Act like an immigrant,” he says, “Have a chip on your shoulder, work hard and remember where you came from. You can’t be an entrepreneur and be entitled. ” Next, he urges entrepreneurs to be artisans and leave their mark on society. Thirdly, Bill advises entrepreneurs to act like a waitress or waiter, “They are the pinnacle of entrepreneurship. They know that their livelihood is dependent on the level of service they provide their customers.” Finally, he believes entrepreneurs should be coaches and serve as a mentor for their teams and fellow entrepreneurs. By embodying these traits and principles, Bill believes any entrepreneur will find success – and, more importantly, meaning within their success. “Life is simple, just not easy,” he says, “Entrepreneurs should want a rich life more than they want riches.” Let us know what you think on Twitter at www.twitter.com/WiseNapkin or via Facebook at www.facebook.com/PaperNapkinWisdom 

Today’s Topic: All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten, by Robert Fulghum   Most of what I really need To know about how to live And what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top Of the graduate school mountain, But there in the sandpile at Sunday school. These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life - Learn some and think some And draw and paint and sing and dance And play and work everyday some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, Watch out for traffic, Hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder.   Enough said, work on being a better person and treat others the way you would like to be treated.   BE BOLD Dave

You only have two choices in life, Innovate or die.  Many companies have learned this fatal lesson over the years and became extinct.  Do you remember MySpace, Blockbuster or Circuit City?  They failed to innovate and were swallowed up by the competition.   Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, say it best.  Doing more with less is a crucial principle to learn; especially if you are going to be in business in this rapidly changing world.” Bold leaders understand the importance of innovation.  Are you the person that gets excited about change?  Or are you the person who is satisfied with the status quo?  If you are the latter, you will soon become extinct.   Today we are going to look at one of the world’s most innovative companies.  Discuss their 8 pillars of innovation and discuss how you can use this information to transform your organization. In March of 1992 I was 2 months away from completing the most rigorous education and training program in the world.  I was about to graduate from the United States Air Force Academy.  I had dreamed my entire life about becoming an Air Force Pilot.  But unbeknownst to us the Air Force had different plans.  The Chief of Staff announced that over 60% of our class would be deferred and may have the opportunity to complete pilot training at a later date.  My dreams were crushed.  Emotions ran high and I really wondered why I had wasted the last 4 years of my life.  It was awful.  Little did I know how much this decision by the Air Force would positively affect my life.   As a brand new 2nd Lt I learned the importance of embracing change.  Eventually, I attended pilot training and spent 17 years of my life flying mission all over the globe.  The lessons I learned early in my career afforded me the opportunity to command 3 squadrons and reach my goals.     Being innovative means that you are quickly able to adapt and change with the environment.  No company on earth understands this better than Google.  Let’s discuss Google’s 8 Pillars of Innovation and how you can change your company to compete like never before. Have a mission that matters Work can be more than a job when it stands for something you care about.  People are more inspired and work harder when they follow a mission or a cause as opposed to an individual.  If people don’t believe in the mission, they work for a paycheck.  I can tell you from experience that this does not benefit your company.   Think about our young soldiers that put there life on the line everyday.  Most of them make less than $30,000 per year.  They step in front of bullets, jump on grenades to defend your freedom.  They don’t do it for the person in charge, they do it because the believe in the mission. No matter how ambitious the plan, you have to roll up your sleeves and start somewhere.  Have you ever heard the phrase how do you eat an elephant… one bite at a time.  Huge dreams and goals seem impossible at first.  You feel overwhelmed and many times don’t know where to start.  The challenge is to just start.  Once you take that first step and see progress it will motivate you to keep moving.  The journey will be amazing.  You will learn many lessons along the way.  The path may change.  Just don’t stop.  Keep moving towards that impossible goal and you will get there.   Think big but start small The best part of innovation? We get do-overs. Lots of them. Do not expect to be perfect on your first attempt.  You will continually refine your program, process, product and approach.  If you innovate through every iteration, you will remain relevant to your customers. Never stop learning and never stop innovating.  If you do, you will eventually become extinct.  We live in a rapidly changing world.  It moves fast.  Look for improvements every day to ensure success Strive for continual innovation, not instant perfection You never know where your next great idea is going to present itself.  Look everywhere.  This means that you are always seeking feedback, always soliciting news ideas and always innovating.  Some of the greatest ideas that I have ever generated have come from social settings.  As a young Lt, we were expected to be at the Officer’s Club every Friday night.  At first glance you might believe that this was “scheduled fun”, but it was more than that.  All of the commanders always showed up at the club.  We each had an opportunity to ask questions, challenge ideas and learn from our leaders.  These events strengthened our organization.  We developed bonds that enabled us to solve extremely challenging problems.  It also gave our leaders unique insights as to the daily challenges we faced.  I personally changed how our customer service division operated based on the feedback I received from our customers on Friday night.  This resulted in the organization winning multiple national awards.  Looking back I realize that looking for ideas everywhere enabled our team to be more efficient and more effective.   Look for ideas everywhere “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.” Share everything ― Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts On Common Things...The 1st Item on the List is Share Everything Google’s employees know pretty much everything that’s going on and why decisions are made. Every quarter, Google shares the entire Board Letter with all 26,000 employees, and we present the same slides presented to the Board of Directors in a company-wide meeting. By sharing everything, you encourage the discussion, exchange and re-interpretation of ideas, which can lead to unexpected and innovative outcomes. Google tries to facilitate this by working in small, crowded teams in open cube arrangements, rather than individual offices. When someone has an idea or needs input on a decision, they can just look up and say, ‘Hey…’ to the person sitting next to them. Maybe that cube-mate will have something to contribute as well. The idea for language translation in Google Talk came out of conversations between the Google Talk and Google Translate teams when they happened to be working near one another. If you imagine it, you can build it, but you might be wrong.  Don’t be afraid to be wrong.  Try new things then use data to validate the idea.  You must believe that the impossible can become a reality.  If not, you will never be destined for greatness.  Just think if President had not challenged the nation to put a man on the moon in ten years.  Our space program during the 50s and 60s created more innovative products that are still used today than any other time in history.  Great companies give their team time for “blue sky” thinking.  It is during these times when most great ideas come to fruition.   What begins with intuition is fueled by insights. If you’re lucky, these reinforce one another. For a while the number of Google search results displayed on a page was 10 simply because Google’s founders thought that was the best number. Google eventually did a test, asking users, ‘Would you like 10, 20 or 30 search results on one page?’ They unanimously said they wanted 30. But 10 results did far better in actual user tests, because the page loaded faster. It turns out that providing 30 results was 20 percent slower than providing 10, and what users really wanted was speed. That’s the beautiful thing about data – it can either back up your instincts or prove them totally wrong. Spark with imagination, fuel with data There is so much awe-inspiring innovation being driven by people all over the globe.  You must look at your organization as a platform that enables anyone, anywhere, to apply their unique skills, perspective and passions to the creation of new ideas, products and features that align with your brand.  When extend collaboration outside of your organization, you grow your ability to generate new ideas, new applications and new uses for your company’s products.  More importantly you enable a free flowing feedback loop for you partners and customers.  By finding ways to work together, your organization can increase its flexibility, improve innovation and increase revenues.   Be a platform This is by far my favorite pillar at Google.  It is the challenge I present to every team I have led using one simple statement as each member joined the team.  “I challenge you to fail”.  I actually mentioned this idea to a hiring manager a few years ago and got a very quizzical look.  I honestly think this guy thought I was crazy.  He did not get it and I did not take a job with that organization.  When you give people in your organization permission to take chances and try new ideas you empower them to make decisions without fear of reprisal.  The young leaders in the organizations I had the privilege of leading never ceased to amaze me with their innovation.  Sometimes they did fail, but the amazing part of the failure was how much they learned.  If you are not failing then you are not pushing yourself hard enough.  More importantly, you are not learning, not getting stronger and not reaching your full potential.  You must always find a way to yes and resist the temptation to say no.  Do not let the fear of failure limit your future potential. Never fail to fail

Whether we're talking about self awareness (which includes putting things back where you found them, clean up your own mess, and watch for people/bikes/cars when in the world), or we are practicing responsibility (play fair, say you're sorry when you hurt someone, don't take things that aren't yours)…we impact our own life AND the lives of others. From how we take action to when we take vacations, today's Leader's Discuss panel hosted by Jessica Dewell will answer the question: What do you do today that your future self will thank you for? The panel: Christine L Bowen, Geoffrey X Lane, Carmen Rojas, and Joel Dawson. Starting the conversation: What do you do today that your future self will thank you for? “Often, without realizing it, we fill important places in each other's lives.” Robert Fulghum …including our own. Host: Jessica Dewell Panel: Christine L Bowen, Geoffrey X Lane, Carmen Rojas, Joel Dawson What You Will Hear: “Often, without realizing it, we fill important places in each other's lives.” Robert Fulghum …including our own. Practice values through action every day. Life is not profound but challenging. Stick up for what we believe in and what we model for others. Take care of myself for the future (and to be here and healthy) to interact with family. There is planning today to prepare for tomorrow. Take active action every day - it's important.

Meditation supports focus and grounded. The habits, er… way we communicate and recognize where they came from. It takes effort for the things that are important to us. Purposeful action over time shows up as immediately knowing. Recognize the voice that nags at us and build our intuition. Cultivate what we want in life. Know what is…not ‘should be.' Conscious and unconscious. Know what we've survived. Know our triggers. Being present can be hard. It's comfortable with the uncomfortable. We look at ourself and realize we change with our experiences. Clean underwear wisdom. Notable & Quotable: Christine L Bowen: I am conscious enough to take the proper actions so that I will be joyful in the future. Geoffrey X Lane: How can I speak in such a way that my compassion is love and love is heard even when I'm giving very direct information to people? Carmen Rojas: I will look back and see that I didn't quit. Joel Dawson: Having relationships keeps us invigorated. Jessica Dewell: Don't take ourselves to seriously and laugh a lot. Geoffrey X Lane: I'm more peaceful when I'm being gentle and creating space for myself. Jessica Dewell: I got gadgets for that. Joel Dawson: It takes work and effort to focus on clients. Say hi, how are you to people outside of business. Carmen Rojas: I can distill the nonsense and get to what matters. Jessica Dewell: We have to recognize when [our actions] are right. Christine L Bowen: When we are born, we are immediately influenced by the world around us. It's when we grow up we can look at our beliefs. Geoffrey X Lane: ‘If I can produce this,I can produce that,' is something we discover mid life. Carmen Rojas: There are catalysts that force you to learn at a different pace. Joel Dawson: You are a culmination of different things you've been taught. Taking care of ourselves is the first step to SHOW UP.

More than 25 years ago, Robert Fulghum's bestseller "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" reminded us that the most basic aspects of life bear its most important opportunities. In today's chaotic, more challenging world it's more true than ever. Rev. Bill Marchiony looks at the spiritual aspect and how the first step of a Practical Prayer is as powerful as beginning with "Simon Says".

Due to technical difficulties, this weeks episode is a repeat from the first Sunday of 2013.     January 6, 2013                                               First Sunday of 2013   Sermon Series: What On Earth Are We Doing?       Introduction to the “Great Mother Questions”   What On Earth Have You Done?  The Great Yesterday Question       Synopsis: What’s different about today?  It is not yesterday.  Life is different today.  Just a few hours ago today was known as tomorrow and in just a few more hours it will be yesterday.  This is where life is lived but before we go too quickly into today let’s take a moment to recognize some of the things that happened to get us where we are.  How are you feeling about yesterday, or last year?         Robert Fulghum wrote a book titled What On Earth Have I Done:        Stories, Observations, and Affirmations.  It’s first chapter is the inspiration for this four part series on the great mother questions.  The first one being “What On Earth Have You Done?”          The question did not originate with mothers, in fact, according to Genesis 3:13 Eve (the mother of all living) was the first to hear it asked.  God did the asking.  God asked it again in Genesis 4:10.  This time it was Cain, the first born.  These two references certainly lend a lot of relevance to the question.         Looking back, what you did and what was done to you become parts of your unique story.  There isn’t another you and there isn’t another story just like your story.  How do you feel about your story so far?  Maybe, a more important question is how do you think God feels about your story?       Scripture Text (NLT):  Genesis 3:8-13; Genesis 4:8-12

A week ago my daughter, Avery, came home from a church LEAD team party bubbling with stories of her friends.  She had a candy cane in hand and showed me the card with a poem about candy canes.  I'm sure you've seen it: Look at the Candy Cane What do you see? Stripes that are red Like the blood shed for me White is for my Savior Who’s sinless and pure! “J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure! Turn it around And a staff you will see Jesus my shepherd Was born for Me! They had a discussion about the real meaning of Christmas and what the season was about using the candy cane as a teaching tool. At the end, she said a kid asked, "What does the peppermint mean?" Which I thought was interesting that he asked that.  As I've mentioned in several other posts (here, here, and here,) I very frequently will smell fragrances/odors that are an indication of spirits that are operating.  (Yes, it's weird . . . but it's true.) I don't always know what the scent means, but sometimes I do either from someone else confirming it or through repeated situations. And mint is one scent I know absolutely, positively what it means. MINT = SALVATION When I smell mint, I know that the presence of the Holy Spirit is there to convict to the saving knowledge of Jesus. I'm sure that wasn't the intent of the original candy manufacturer, but it is a cool coincidence. History of the Candy Cane So I decided to research the history of the candy cane. One of the first articles I happened across was one extremely hostile toward Christianity on Snopes.  But the Wikipedia article actually had multiple references that agreed on the origin. In 1670, a song leader of a church in Cologne, Germany, was at his wit's end trying to maintain some semblance of order with the children during the living nativity in their worship service. Kids, Christmas, and animals in church.  What do you expect?   All sorts of exciting things can happen. He had to find a way to calm the chaos. So he did what every other adult that is not the parent does with children to keep them quiet . . . he gave them sugar. But he was smart about it.   He didn't just hand candy out in church . . . he knew the parents, and probably the pastor, just would not go for that at all. Instead he went to the candy maker and asked them instead of making it a regular straight stick of candy, to put a hook at the end to represent the shepherd's crook, thus tying it in with the nativity scene. Huge, HUGE hit. Churches across Germany began to also hand out candy canes during the nativity scene and it gradually spread to other areas of Europe. Candy Canes and Chaos The story of the kids, Christmas, and candy canes reminded me of Robert Fulghum.  He was a minister for many years, but he is best known for his essay, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten."

January 20, 2013                                                                               Sermon Series: What On Earth Are We Doing?   What On Earth Will You Think of Next?  The Great Tomorrow Question Matthew 4:18-20   Synopsis: My sermon title come from the third of Robert Fulghum’s “Great Mother Questions” in What On Earth Have I Done: Stories, Observations, and Affirmations.  Fulghum writes that this question has “ongoing relevance”. It is a way of asking if my mind is a stagnant cesspool of worn-out notions or if I am mentally active—still replacing archaic information with fresh and better ideas?  Am I still thinking—still asking—still learning?       I remember being asked that question as a child.  Now as an adult, husband, father, grandfather and pastor I get asked that question for a whole different set of reasons and expectations.  As a believer I hear that question within the context of imagination.        Can you imagine a reality different from what you are experiencing now or have experienced in the past?  If you can then maybe you are ready for the next step in your journey to that new reality.  What has been doesn’t have to be the only determining factor in what will be.  “Come, follow me,” Jesus said to a group of fishermen, “and I will show you how to fish for men.”(Mt 4:19, NLT)  Imagine that!   Scripture Text (NLT): Matthew 4:18-20; 2 Corinthians 5:1-10; 1 Corinthians 15:51-57   Scripture Reading: Matthew 4:18-20

January 6, 2013                                               First Sunday of 2013 Sermon Series: What On Earth Are We Doing?   Introduction to the “Great Mother Questions” What On Earth Have You Done?  The Great Yesterday Question   Synopsis: What’s different about today?  It is not yesterday.  Life is different today.  Just a few hours ago today was known as tomorrow and in just a few more hours it will be yesterday.  This is where life is lived but before we go too quickly into today let’s take a moment to recognize some of the things that happened to get us where we are.  How are you feeling about yesterday, or last year?       Robert Fulghum wrote a book titled What On Earth Have I Done:        Stories, Observations, and Affirmations.  It’s first chapter is the inspiration for this four part series on the great mother questions.  The first one being “What On Earth Have You Done?”        The question did not originate with mothers, in fact, according to Genesis 3:13 Eve (the mother of all living) was the first to hear it asked.  God did the asking.  God asked it again in Genesis 4:10.  This time it was Cain, the first born.  These two references certainly lend a lot of relevance to the question.       Looking back, what you did and what was done to you become parts of your unique story.  There isn’t another you and there isn’t another story just like your story.  How do you feel about your story so far?  Maybe, a more important question is how do you think God feels about your story?   Scripture Text (NLT):  Genesis 3:8-13; Genesis 4:8-12

  Robert Fulghum, an American author, is quoted as saying “Sticks and stones will break our bones, but words will break our hearts” not to mention our spirits. Name calling, mudslinging, defaming and insulting words are all about impulsively responding to someone or something that is a threat to the beliefs, values or attitudes we hold dear. We learn it as kids as way to protect ourselves and to hurt others intentionally or not. Unfortunately, we carry these deep wounds and/or bad behaviors with us into adulthood. If you are someone who habitually uses name-calling as a defense mechanism, explore what is behind this behavior. We will share some questions for your consideration. If you are someone who holds deep wounds from the act of name-calling, then explore how to move beyond the hurt and change how you engage with someone who continues to insult you.   Join Pattie Porter, The Texas Conflict Coach, as she discusses the importance of putting an end to name calling.   No Name-Calling week is January 23-27, 2012 and is aimed to end name-calling and stop bullying in schools.
