First Thought
NOSOTROS recently got some publicity. An article about the gym was written up by a masterful reporter who turned my mess of an interview into a message. Very grateful to Patrick Cooley, the man with the golden pen. My first thought when I saw his article was – wow. You've got to understand, this gym has been hush for six-seven years. We didn't talk about it because we were in no place to do it. Who has time for fantasy? When you're dating, dreams make you cute. When you're married, dreams make you a dreamer. But then this article came out. Boom. The dream is gone. Reality is here.
Because it's July 9th, below are my 2nd through 9th thoughts that followed:
2nd: Dang! I wish Wix fixed those stupid glitches on our site that I've been submitting tickets about
3rd: Whoa! This article is getting some honest comments, folks are saying the gym won't be tall enough and probably won't be that sweet
4th: Crap! I'm checking peoples' feedback too much
5th: No! I'm being a bad husband. There was actually a time yesterday when I checked my phone while Amanda was talking. That's a no no
6th: Stop! Apologize to Amanda and realize that the family around me is way more important
7th: Nice! That's really nice how some friends and family shared the news
8th: Shoot! I'm checking my phone again. I'm a wretch
9th: God! I need humility, grace, direction, help
Conclusion
That article was a big deal. But I'm not. And I never want to be. Big heads make people suck. I'm not special. But I am trying to do something special. Through faith, family, friends, we hope to do something special.
Practical Gentle Suggestions
You know how every snowflake is special and different?
You're not a snowflake
You're pretty average
Act like it
When you act better than others it's bad
When you act equal to others it's good
Now, while acting equal to others, do something cool with others
Because togetherness is nice when done right
