Ep. 13 - Count It All Joy

Welcome Back To The Conversation. To everyone, especially artists, here is your weekly, witty inspiration to stay sane in this crazy world. "Count it all joy brethren when you fall into your trials" - James 1:2. Life is messy and people can be messier. Don't give away your power for the messy things. 

We don't always have control over our environment. We almost NEVER have control over people's actions (and people who think they can/do control others are DELUSIONAL AF. But when we wake up with a grateful spirit - taking time to tell God THANK YOU - we can experience MESSY THINGS and handle it with truth and grace. It's not about repressing anything or pretending to be blind to the messy things. It's more of recognizing the messy and saying TOUCHE'.

So, your takeaway for this week to stay calm and sane in this crazy world is BOTH a quote from The Beatles and a Patrick Swayze quote in Roadhouse. Sometimes people intentionally push your buttons to disturb your peace cause they are bored or haven't gotten enough joy - Let It Be. 

Do your best to see everything AS IT IS and face it with a smile (or sarcasm, your choice) and then LET IT BE. When you know and APPRECIATE the fact that God has got you in the palm of his hands - you rebuke it, laugh about it and gone on about your day. Let it be! My real policy in life is actually "Be nice until it's time to not be nice". 

About 4 years ago, I was having a whole convo in Hawaii with a Lieutenant about Roadhouse and the quote, "be nice until it's time to not be nice" and HOW TRUE IT IS about nearly everything. Sometimes we make the problem bigger than what it is and we make hasty judgements which enlarge the problem. Sometimes it doesn't take all that. So " be nice in whatever you're doing, until it's time to NOT be nice". Self-deception or lack of respect isn't good for anyone! So up until "it's time to call judgement" (see last week's blog) be nice. Be easy. Let it be! You got this!
