The Caring Catalyst

Who Cares - What Matters

STARBUCK’ED

By 2 Comments

 

LIFE IS LIKE.           .           .

It’s kind of simple to fill in the blank isn’t it?

You could fall back on the old Forrest Gump box of chocolates…but I think we do know what it is we’re going to get–REALLY!

Whether it’s over a cup of coffee or a box of chocolates or dinner, lunch or breakfast, there’s one conversation that needs to be had with three of the most important people in the world:

Me

Myself

and I

The Conversation?

It’s not about your favorite chocolates

It’s not about your favorite coffee

It’s not about your favorite vacation spot

It’s not about your favorite past-time

It’s not about your favorite book or movie or song

It’s not about your passion.           .           . !

It      is      about      what      you      do      best

Have THAT

 conversation with yourself in

mirror-to-the-face-honesty 

and it becomes vividly clear

not only who you are

but what you’re suppose to do

where,

when,

and how.           .           .

and that beats any cup of coffee

anytime and any where

in and out of this world.          .          .

Cheers!

S i m p l e    Q u e s t i o n:

W H A T      M A K E S     Y O U     H A P P Y ?

A good Cigar

Some fine music 

Adult Beverage

A Book

A Beautiful Outside Setting

?               ?               ?               ?               ?

Not for everyone, huh?

Is there that overwhelming

100%

slam-dunk

one-size-fits-and-pleases-all

solution to

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.       .        .

the answer might not

uhhhh make yoiu

h          a          p          p          y.             .             .

Maybe it’s just being overemphasized;

Did you know that

H A P P I N E S S

has it’s own it’s own

h     o     l     i     d     a     y ?

Just a few years ago

The General Assembly of the United Nations

proclaimed MARCH 20

to the be the

International Day of Happiness.       .       .

Oops.          .          .

I missed it;

I didn’t celebrate.          .          .

But it is easy to see why

H A P P I N E S S

is worth celebrating:

Happy people are healthier;

they get sick less often

THEY     LIVE     L O N G E R

Happy people have better realtionships

more friends

make more money

are more productive at work.     .     .

Based on decades of research

it’s become very clear

that Happiness is not just a personal issue;

it’s a matter of public health,

global economics

and natural well being

B           U          T

it’s subjective, isn’t it?

THE   GREATER   GOOD   SCIENCE   CENTER

(Yes, it really does exist–Google it)

They simply recommend through

S   C   I   E   N   T   I   F   I   C        S   T   U   D   Y

ACKNOWLEDGE    THE    GOOD

(WRITE DOWN 3 THINGS A DAY YOU ARE GRATEFUL )

ADD    HAPPINESS   THROUGH   SUBTRACTION 

(GIVE IT UP PRACTICE–GIVE UP WHAT YOU REALLY LIKE JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TIME SO YOU CAN APPRECIATE IT EVEN ALL THE MORE)

FIND MEANING AND PURPOSE

(TAKE PICTURES OF PEOPLE AND THINGS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO YOU AND LITERALLY JOURNAL FOR 15 MINUTES A DAY JUST ABOUT YOUR IDEAL FUTURE AND WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE)

USE   YOUR   STRENGTH

(PICK ONE OF YOUR STRENGTHS AND USE IT EXCLUSIVELY IN A NEW AND DIFFERENT WAY FOR A WEEK AND THEN ANOTHER AND THEN ANOTHER. . . )

CONNECT     WITH     OTHERS

(JUST DO FIVE RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS A DAY–NOT OVER A WEEK, BUT A DAY FOR A WEEK; STUDIES SHOUT THAT WHEN YOU DO–GIVE–IT SIGNIFICANTLY MAKES YOU HAPPIER)

WHAT      REALLY     MAKES     YOU     HAPPY ?

It’s different for everyone

T       H       A       N       K       F       U       L       L       Y  

QUICK  ANSWER:

WHATEVER   FEEDS   YOUR   SOUL

but you’ve got to

ACTUALLY  FEED  YOUR  SOUL

it won’t happen

through osmosis 

IF HAPPINESS IS A TRAIN

YOU DON’T HAVE TO RIDE THE CABOOSE

OR JUST BE A PASSENGER

WATING TO GO TO THE DINING CAR

ENGINEER THAT TRAIN

AND TOOT-TOOT YOURSELF DOWN THE TRACK 

NOT TO HAPPINESS

BUT TO YOUR

S E V E N T H     H E A V E N 

SEE YOU AT THE STATION!

Heart Art

By 2 Comments

Seriously. . .

When’s the last time you put your Heart into something?

No,  REALLY,  when’s the last time that you

L    I    T    E    R    A    L    L    Y

gave  from  your  Heart?

There’s a legend of an artist who had found the secret of a wonderful red which no other artist could begin to imitate. The actual secret of his special color actually died with him. But after his death there was an old wound that was discovered over his heart.     .     .

T      H      I      S

revealed the source of the matchless hue in his paintings.     .     .

The legend teaches that  NO  great achievement can ever be made,

no lofty attainment ever reached,
N            O            T            H            I            N            G

of much value to the world done,

without the full donation of the

Heart’s  Blood.        .        .

Nice legend, huh?

Great story.      .      .

Good point.        .        .

Excellent analogy.         .         .

Unless

.           .           .unless, it isn’t!

Vincent  Castiglia

Vincent is an artist who’s art work is bloody awesome,

which is actually a fairly good description

since his art is created from his own blood.       .       .

Castiglia has been painting dramatic and graphic works

using his own blood for years.        .        .

He states, “Some of the painting are 7 feet tall and can actually take up to some 30 vials of blood.”

Now he’ll be quick to put it into perspective by telling you that it’s way less than what would be donated to a Blood Bank, but still, he takes his blood and mixes it with water at times and other times just uses it as is–full strength to give it texture and the look of acrylic after it dries. He shares that some works take several months to complete and can cost as much as $26,000 each.

Not THAT qualifies as

The Hmmmmmmmmmmmm of the Day.       .       .

I’ll ask again:

WHEN   WAS   THE   LAST   TIME   YOU   PUT   YOUR   WHOLE HEART   INTO   SOMETHING ?

It’s easy to talk about our
BLOOD, SWEAT, and TEARS—

good musical group in the 60’s and 70’s, too.      .      .

But for     W  H  A  T     have you actually bled?

But   W  H  E  N   have you actually Sweat for something?

But   W  H  E  R  E   have you actually left tears?

The World all too often gets our

“H     A     V     E – T     O ‘ s”

When it so very desperately needs our

W     A     N     T – T     O ‘ S.       .       .

Legend or Actual.        .        .

Our best art comes

when we use the most precious and priceless resource we have:

O u r   o w n   H e a r t s !

Dipping our brushes on to that Palate

and then to Canvas

not only changes it—

But the World’s, too!

It’s long waited for our

H      U      E

Our  T I N T

Our  C O L O R

Make it not wait

one brush stroke longer.        .        .

I decided to get rid of all of the junk food in the house

to begin my New Year’s Resolution of going on a diet

and. . .

and it was  D E L I C I O U S !

Have you made your New Year’s Resolutions yet?

I only have One Resolution:

T O     G I V E     U P     R E S O L U T I O N S

Is it any wonder why?

The Top 10 Resolutions are:

Stay Fit

Lose Weight

Enjoy Life to It’s Fullest

Spend Less, Save More

Spend More Time with Family and Friends

Get Organized

Learn Something New

Travel More

REFUSE TO MAKE ANY RESOLUTIONS

There are about 38% of us WHO WON’T BE MAKING RESOLUTIONS

and the other 62% will find only a

W          H          O          P          P          I          N          G

8%

who will keep their  RESOLUTIONS. . .

Do I hear an   O U C H ?

Mike Yaconelli’s, THE LITTLE BOY WHO WANTED TO FIGHT FIRES has always been one of my favorites, especially this time of the year.  Mike died a few New Year’s Eve’s back

Allow me to share it as I remember it:

ONCE THERE WAS A LITTLE BOY WHO, EVER SINCE HE COULD REMEMBER, WANTED TO BE A FIREMAN. THE SHRILL OF THE SIREN AND THE DEEP RUMBLE OF THE RACING FIRE-TRUCK HAD FILLED HIS DREAMS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT. DEEP IN HIS HEART THERE WAS A LONGING TO SOMEDAY BE ABLE TO HELP PEOPLE; TO SAVE PEOPLE FROM THE RAVAGING GRASP OF A FIRE. IT WAS NOT JUST A CHILDHOOD FANTASY. HIS WAS THE UNMISTAKABLE CALL OF DESTINY.

GROWING UP NEVER CHANGED HIS MIND. TO BE SURE, HE HAD GONE THROUGH ALL THE INDECISION AND DOUBTS OF ADOLESCENCE, THE WELL-MEANING QUESTIONS OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO ‘WONDERED WHETHER HE COULD BE HAPPY AS A FIREMAN.’ HE WAS TO PUT OUT FIRES.

OH, HOW HE LONGED FOR THE DAY WHEN HE WOULD NO LONGER BE A SPECTATOR, BUT COULD PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY AS A FIRE-FIGHTER. NOW, ALL HE COULD DO WAS WATCH.

THEN THE BIG DAY ARRIVED. HE WAS ACCEPTED AT ONE OF THE BEST FIREMAN SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY. FOR THREE YEARS HE IMMERSED HIMSELF IN HIS SCHOOLING. HE SPENT HOURS HONING HIS SKILLS ON PRACTICE FIRES. HE STUDIED FIRE-FIGHTING THEORY LONG INTO THE NIGHTS. HIS TEACHERS WERE WORLD-RENOWNED.

BUT STILL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS HE HAD NEVER FOUGHT A REAL FIRE. AS GRADUATION APPROACHED, HE REALIZED THAT LONG-AWAITED MOMENT WAS WITHIN HIS REACH.

BUT SUDDENLY HE BEGAIN TO HAVE DOUBTS. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE HE WAS UNSURE, AFRAID, AND WORSE YET, QUESTIONING WHETHER HE OUGHT TO BE A FIREMAN AT ALL.

IT WAS THEN THAT ONE OF HIS PROFESSORS SUGGESTED HE TRAVEL TO EUROPE AND STUDY UNDER ONE OF THE GREATEST FIREMAN THEORISTS OF ALL TIME. HE WOULD BE RECOMMENDED BY HIS PROFESSORS AND WOULD RECEIVE THE FINEST TRAINING AVAILABLE. IT WOULD LAST FOR TWO YEARS.

THE NOT-SO-LITTLE BOY DECIDED TO GO TO EUROPE, AND FOR TWO YEARS HE EXHAUSTED HIMSELF IN DEDICATED STUDY AND BECAME ON OF THE MOST BRILLIANTLY EDUCATED FIREMEN IN THE WORLD. BUT ALL HE HAD EVER DONE WAS PUT OUT PRACTICE FIRES. ONCE AGAIN, GRADUATION LOOMED BEFORE HIM. AND, ONCE AGAIN, HE WAS HAUNTED BY INDECISION. HE KNEW ALL ABOUT FIRES AND COULD TELL ANYONE HOW TO FIGHT ONE; IN FACT, HE KNEW SO MUCH HE BEGAIN TO FEEL THAT HIS SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE DID, IN FACT, PLACE HIM A NOTCH ABOVE ‘ORDINARY’ FIREMEN. HE BECAME INCREASINGLY CONCERNED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE TO FIGHT FIRES WITH ‘UNEDUCATED’ FIREMEN, WHICH COULD RESULT IN HIM BEING EXPOSED TO UNNECESSARY DANGER.

IT WAS THEN THAT HE WAS OFERED A POSITION TO TACH AT ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED FIREMEN SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY.

HE ACCEPTED. AND FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS HE TAUGHT WITH HONORS AND RECEIVED RECOGNITION WORLDWIDE. HE DIED LAST YEAR, AND WHEN THEY READ HIS MEMOIRS, THEY CAME ACROSS A STRANGE PASSAGE WRITTEN WHILE ON HIS DEATHBED:

“I LIE HERE TODAY REVIEWING MY LIFE. I STILL REMEMBER MY DREAM, MY PASSION TO BE A FIREMAN. MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE I WANTED TO PUT OUT FIRES…BUT I REALIZED SOMETHING TODAY.

I HAVE NEVER PUT OUT A REAL FIRE. N E V E R!”

What.         .          .

what in our lives–yours and mine–

are we spending our time studying i

n order to avoid

D  O  I  N  G ?

Seriously.        .        .just what Day is exactly  NOT  a New Year?

A New Beginning?

A Do-Over?

NO!

No more Resolutions!

No more, “I SHOULD’S”

No more, “I COULD’S”

No more, “I WOULD’S”

Cleveland Indians

and the

Chicago Cubs

are in a historic World Series

because neither of them have actually

W       O        N

since 1948 and 1908

H          I          S          T          O          R          I        C

It looks like just a regular film clip

of an old Yankee newsreel, doesn’t it.        .        .

Would you take another thirty seconds to look at it again?

It’s way more than just  Al Gionfriddo

robbing  the  great  Joe DiMaggio

of a home run.        .        .

It   was   October 5, 1947

and it was the 6th game of the World Series.       .       .

Al Gionfriddo was a utility outfielder for the Brooklyn Dodgers.       .       .

HE      WAS      NOT

even supposed to start that day.        .        .

In fact, he was even pinched hit for

but not before the 6th inning.      .     .

It was then, in the bottom of the 6th inning

when the Yankees had two men on with

Joe DiMaggio coming to the plate.        .        .

DiMaggio hit a blast that soared towards left field.          .          .

Everyone in the park knew it was a home run

and the Yankees were about to take the lead.        .        .

Everyone except  Al  Gionfriddo.        .        .

He came, seemingly out of nowhere

to reach over the fence

and robbed DiMaggio of his home run blast.       .       .

Look closely at the little film clip

and you’ll see something that you seldom ever saw in any situation:

JOE  DIMAGGIO  showing some form of emotion.

Just as he was arriving at 2nd base

in what he thought was a home run jog,

he saw Gionfriddo reach over the fence

and rob him of what was his, the Yankees and the New York crowd.

And then.         .         .

he KICKED   THE   DIRT !

This short little clip holds a message for us all.          .        .

from now in

Tokyo

but some Olympics moment are never ending.      .      .

so are some of our day to day moments;

We are all running a most difficult

R       A       C       E

One that seems to go

on and on and on and on and on and on

with no seeming

F  I  N  I  S  H       L   I   N   E

in sight

and then you see.     .      .

you   e x p e r i e n c e

something much greater

than some ending point.     .     .

you  feel  the  greatness  that  can  only  come  from  within

but  always

e      m     a      n     a      t      e     s

o u t w a r d

u   p   w   a   r   d.     .      .

We stumble

We fall

We trip up

We get hurt

We get disappointed

We feel discouraged

d     e     f     e     a     t     e     d

and just when the race

feels hopelessly lost

another event starts

that knows

In our long journey to the

Finish  Line

with the unceasingly

ever-running

have-got-to-beat

c       l       o       c       k

there’s  a  speckle  of

t  r  u  t  h

that makes the

D  E  F  E  A  T  E  D

U  N  D  E  F  E  A  T  A  B  L  E :

WHEN    YOU    HAVE    A    CHANCE    TO    BE 

RIGHT   OR   KIND

B  E       K  I  N  D

and  watch  the

Finish  Line

not only vanish.      .      .

but become something so very, very much more!
