“The most important question you can ever ask is if the world is a friendly place.” –Albert Einstein

That seemingly simple question posed by Einstein determines everything.

When the unexpected layoff happens, when our life is irreversibly shifted by the actions of another, or when unforeseen tragedy occurs, it’s real easy to answer “No!”

Yet, this is the only real choice time we have…because when things are just clicking along, we’re generally not even present to the question. Life is just life.

“Choice time”, therefore, is the wake up call to really and consciously choose.

What’s it gonna be? Neither choice is ultimately “true”, yet our active choosing makes it our truth…which nobody can take away from us, no matter what.

There is an old story about three baseball umpires in the locker room, discussing their respective skill at calling strikes and balls over the plate.

The younger, less experienced umpire says “I call them the way I see them.”

The slightly more experienced umpire says “I call them the way they are.”

The eldest, more veteran umpire says “They ain’t nothin’ until I call them.”

How are you going to call it?

I’m making The Back Forty Re-NEW-ALL Program below FREE for those who have been affected by any recent storm or personal tragedy. It’s all about taking a pro-active stance, in the face of devastation, to point ourselves toward our next and best life to come. Please forward this to those it can support, and have them simply reply email me with their situation.

Got calling it?
