I Do, I Do, My Own

How did you answer the three questions previously posed? Was it a former teacher, coach or parent. Did you struggle with the answers and try to come up with your individualized answers? I sure did when I first posed them to myself.

But the answer is purely a simple one - the answer is you. Sure there are many that influence you through out life. But Paul rightly says, "...The biggest single factor that determines where you and I currently find ourselves in life is 'you'.

Think about this in the context of what I've been saying. There are others that enter in and out of your life every year, every month, every day and many times every minute. But you are the one that determines how you are effected. Not those people, but you.

In Paul's book, he examines how we as humans react to the things that happen all around us. He suggests that if we could literally 'wear our thoughts on our sleeves' then we could put on a different t-shirt for different reasons. It is the type of t-shirt that you choose to wear that dictates how you conduct your life.

I wouldn't profess to speak for the author of SUMO and do not want to go too deep into his teachings. So as I talk of these things, I'll simply provide pieces of it...The book will provide the detail. So tomorrow I'll talk on another part of the book...Developing fruity thinking.
