Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Let’s say we are stuck at work with something we can’t control, for any reason imaginable.
There are some things we think we can’t control, but can. Let’s not confuse the two. Okay?
We have a gift, but it looks like we’re still waiting for something.
The gift?
The ability to walk away.
Impossible?
Sure feels like it.
You don’t have to quit tomorrow.
Plan your exit one slow, steady step at a time.
You have the gift.

Without knowing it most of my life, the thing that held me back was thinking I didn’t have a gift to offer the world. Now in my 50’s, I can actually see the rampant prevalence in society. Thing is, the prevalence has always been there. It’s just that now that I’ve overcome my own insecurities, it’s easy to spot in others.
Here’s the other thing, and this has been around for eons too – everyone has a special gift to offer. This is also easy for me to spot, and quite exciting.

Leaving yesterday’s presentation, one of the sponsors hollered, “You have a gift”. I really have a hard time accepting comments like this. Hard to feel deserving or worthy. Didn’t give it much thought until I started writing this post.
Actually, we all have “a gift”. It’s called Summer. It’s here. It’s real. We all get the same one. But will we have a hard time accepting it, feeling worthy of it? Or will we unwrap it and live (work) like we mean it?

Disruptive thinking can be a gift to give or receive.
It can also be a gift to give or deceive.
As a Cub Scout Chaplain, count on me to give, so you can receive.

Yesterday’s Christmas gift from jungle jeff to you was probably not what you expected, was it?
Tough love is what our son’s Kindergarten teacher called it.
A college roommate that became a US Marshal, handling some exceptionally criminal minds, told me that he would sometimes have to tell the people he was “guarding”, “Don’t mistake kindness for weakness.”
Our US Marshal friend is a Dad, a husband, and a really nice person. But he knows some quick moves that’ll bring the biggest brute to his knees in seconds.
The world is full of very competitive people and very competitive businesses. And there’s a phrase, survival of the fittest, that works in nature, and it works in business.
People forget this. Or, they ignore it or deny it.
I can’t. You can’t. No one who wants to be excellent can be unclear of this natural law.
This is why I’m upping the ante at jungle jeff. Not by an unbearable amount, but more than 2009.
Almost forgot, if you trek on over to jeffnoel.org , and read just a few entries, you’ll see a much softer side of tough love.
