Yes to all, and forgive me . . I was going to include that quote about “what happens to us vs. what we hold onto” into the post. Yet here it is in the comments! Awesome.

Well damn. It seems that pain is inescapable. Good choices limit it, bad choices magnify it, but it rains on the just and unjust.

Grew up without a dad cause mine decided to randomly sub for a buddy who needed a night with his family. Not a big deal if your an accountant, but for a fireman…well it was a life changer for me and my mom who was 5 months pregnant at the time. Big fire, lots of death. Dad didn’t make it.

WTF

I’ve had almost 4 decades to reflect on that. And the conclusion I’ll share here is this: It’s not what happens to us that matters; it’s what we CHOOSE to hold on to.

Deepak or not, that’s what separates the men from the boys. Or more importantly the free from the imprisoned.

You are free Jeff. And it’s helping the rest of us get there too.
Lead on! Bitch On! Rage On!
F*ck the f*cking f*ckers!
