jumping from the “Burning Platform”
Good morning.
I miss Colorado. but, I don’t know if I miss that place, or its potential, more. that’s also where I became a fireman and EMT. That was when and where some of the most vitally GREAT moments of my life were realized. I probably would still be there, but my life blew up when I lost control of my company and the regulators stepped-in. thank God for all of it, maybe.
while still there, I recall that a very wise and older man once said to me, “this is God’s country (Colorado), but, the Devil is in it”. so, I always take the position that Colorado is “Chinese Interesting”.
I’m on something of a new and scary-interesting path that has a lot to do with a squirrel and the “burning platform” memo.
…a squirrel?
and, then another crazy twist in the road occurred this very morning when once of my coaching clients failed to appear but I met Doug and Al. for months Al was the guy that just pissed me off because he smoked near my table. today he’s an example of how I want to live much of my life. damn… thirty minutes can shift an entire lifetime. I need to be mindful of that every time I meet or work with everyone. every minute counts when you’re on a “burning platform”.
man, the latter is galvanizing and life-changing.
I have so many questions. and, oddly, I’m realizing more and more each day that the simplest answers are literally all around me, and just, and agonizingly so, within reach. it’s almost like drowning with the promise of the surface achingly close to ones fingertips.
peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

[…] many peoples views, and also attitudes towards, for, and about Ministries, need to be another “Burning Platform”. […]
