Needed a dose of kindness for myself. Looked at the remaining to do list for the day and realized I needed sleep. Out cold at 8:15 and slept right till the alarm went off at 5:15. So so so a right choice and a gift to me.

Congrats to the Connecticut Basement Systems Team on an outstanding quarter ?

We are located in El Paso, TX- Southwest corner of Texas. Corner of New Mexico, Texas, Old Mexico. We hire a lot of spanish speaking individuals. As we grow we want to help them grow as individuals. Would you happen to have a spanish version of Masterpiece CD.

Hero Worship is a slippery slope. Are we admiring the qualities that we should be trying to develop? When does Hero Worship become Idol Worship?

I’m reminded of a line from a song by tobyMac, “America has no more stars, now we call them idols.”

You are my Hero Larry

Hi Larry,
Thanks for this message which I feel to be one of your most profound, posted March 2018. I’ve got it set as a weekly “reminder” for myself.
It is not negative, it is simply true. It helps me to be responsible for myself and not dependent on others so that I do not become snared to their support and/or approval. But more than that; it helps me to get out there to face the world, to do what I can do. That little bit that I can do to make the world better. As Mother Teresa said “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”
It also ensures that I do not have to look over my shoulder to see what is coming to catch me from my past.
The world does not define me. I define myself. I chose to reject the world opinion of “Nobody else really cares…..”, as I chose to deeply care about many people and, how I live in the world. I try to show these people the love that someone “else really cares” to give to another person unless ““what’s in it for me””. The sad truth is that many people see this as a weakness to be exploited, or to ridicule. But that does not matter; I still keep being the person that I have chosen to be.
Yes, there are times when saying “NO” is the best form of love, even if you are the one to be hurt.
Thanks for writing every day for us, Larry. Even though only one other person responded to you; please keep writing. We know you “really care” even though ‘there is nothing in it for you’.
Thanks my friend.
Cheers,
P.

The world is round so is a fist pump. I thought about it so I want to highlight the importance of focusing on the throttle and keeping the fingers on the handle bar. A stretch is good and important but not when around a crowd, thorny cacti or dangerous turns. Reading your Baja encounter was a good way to learn and think about many new words including the gunther.

I enjoyed reading the story because it allowed my mind and imagination to stretch farther and visualize a place I never visited before. For me as the reader it was a good experience even though at times I felt like I was getting a hard attack from the suspension and from putting myself in the riders place.

Best wishes to anyone who dares doing something different or to those who fully embrace themselves.

I try my best to put out positivity on my daily blog ~ thanks for your daily inspirational quotes, Larry!

I try not to compare myself to others or think about what they think of me because at the end of the day I have to pay my own bills and I am the one who has to like myself.

I am trainable and adaptable (to a certain extent). Some things I can change others I can’t (or I do not know how to do it yet). Sometimes I just want to be taken care of, other times I feel responsible for taking care of others.

I am many things at the same time. It all depends who is looking, what my priorities are, and how I make the person standing next to me feel.

Compatibility is what determines who and what I am at any given moment.

It is a balancing act but you must also understand that you can’t just fix stupid. As long as we aim consistently higher we will improve.
