This Is NOT An Ordinary Friday!
This is NOT just an ordinary Friday. All indicators point to a typical day in the world, earthquake recovery, government politicking, crime fighting, wars progressing, families struggling, the economy fluctuating, and people moving forward with their lives. But this is NOT just an ordinary Friday.
Today you will participate in the rich and meaningful drama of human life that is unfolding all around you. And you are the hero.
It is an Alice In Wonderland experience for many people, and they are not aware if it. So caught up in the hustle and bustle of the craziness of their fantasy world that they don’t know where they are going. “Which way should I go?” they ask as they frantically approach the fork in the road. “What is your destination?” you ask? “I really don’t know,” they say.
They normal response at this point is what? “Well then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”
But today you can be a disrupter. You can interrupt the normal chaos and drama of their fantasy life with a strong dose of realty and tough love.
“Realty and tough love”… do you think that people will like it if you disrupt their fantasy with realty and tough love?
YES! There is nothing like a sobering cup of realty to help get people get grounded and moving in the right direction. Jesus was in the reality and tough love business.
Instead of offering the typical observation “Well then it doesn’t really matter which way you go” or something non-helpful and fluffy, offer this pearl of wisdom…
“You really need to help someone today. Who do you know that needs your help? Go help them. That is the right direction for you.”
Here’s the thing. It is not about them. It is not about their direction or drama. It seems that way because of all the emotions surround them; money drama, family drama, health drams, being a good citizen drama. All that is just life and the reality is that people can manage and people will. Life is just like business … but they are caught up in a fury of fantasy, like a drug induced twisted reality that is maddening and crazy and they need your help.
Help them, and you, on this ordinary Friday. Give them the antidote by disrupting their fantasy with the reality that they need to help someone. In my business we call that love. There is nothing ordinary about love.
I love you – Bryan Martin
GO HELP SOMEONE!
