Striving for ‘Imprefection’ | What we think we have seen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m not sure we all realize how much impact beliefs have. Look around and you can see how powerful they are. Turn on the news, scroll through social media, or get pulled into a personal disagreement with a family member and you’ll see beliefs. We often disagree less about facts than about what is true, what matters, and what is possible. Over the years, speaking to thousands, I’ve observed that a belief is “a closely held value accepted as fact and reinforced by what we think we have seen.” Some
Striving for ‘Imprefection’ | Treat each other with humility (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yep, hard to believe it, but it’s election time again — not a surprise to anyone. During these periods, words are thrown about like confetti at a victors’ parade, one of which is “Integrity.” Who has it? Who has more of it? For that matter, what is it? So naturally, I did what any reasonable person does when confused: I asked the internet. Dictionary.com defines integrity as, “adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.” The Urban Dictionary boils it down to
Striving for ‘Imprefection’ | A companionship of minor inconveniences (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In junior high, Mr. Hastings, our health teacher, espoused that a major reason we hang out with folks around our own age and who live in similar circumstances is due to our common “you knows.” Of course, you know that, because you and I share so much. (See how that works?) If you’re unclear, a “you know” is a comment about something you feel or you’ve experienced, summed up with some version of, “you know?” I’ll start. “I’m at that age where I wake up with a new ache every morning. I didn’t do a
Striving for ‘Imprefection’ | How I won the 5K without really trying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I can’t believe it; I came in first! For a guy who used to consider “running his mouth off” to be the ultimate form of cardio, coming in in the top spot at last weekend’s 5K has me in shock. Wow! Well, in all fairness, I guess I should be a little more forthcoming on the conditions. To clarify, I was first in my class. Events like these divide the participants into various classes. As you might guess, to have 21-year-old men competing with 60-year-old women or 5-year-old boys wouldn’t be fair. S
Striving for ‘Imprefection’ | It all starts small (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Often, my morning regimen consists of sitting with my wife on the couch sipping together our morning joe, followed by time on my news reader, checking social media, and then – when I can clear the time – I head into our spare bedroom and don my Oculus VR headset, often the highlight of my day. I begin with a 10-minute warm-up where I ride a virtual bicycle almost anywhere on the planet. I’ve pedaled through Ukraine, visited the pyramids and toured Paris. After loosening up, I play one of several
