2021.6.7 The Best Words Weekly Email – Things Are Better Than You Think

Ponder this frog for a moment.

This little dude Donkey Konged his way up the brick wall to this perch. Here the tree frog is safe from all but the most industrious bird. Kong Frog can see the world. And when the light is on, it draws insects.

The light draws dinner TO THE FROG. Pretty savvy.

Like this frog, we all have needs. And like this frog, we can put ourselves in a better position to meet those needs. Too often we stay right where we are, safe in our comfort zone, fretting that things are not going the way we want. Maybe we want to eat better, but we have a McDonald’s along our drive home. Maybe we love listening to music out loud, but there’s no stereo in the room where we spend most of our day.

We can position ourselves to better meet our own needs.

Do you need companionship? Where can you put yourself to find it?

Do you need study help? Where can you position yourself to find it?

Do you want to change the world? Where can you position yourself to help with the change?

For each of these questions, there are better answers and worse ones. But the worst answer probably is to keep doing it the same way. Time and again, there might be an electronic answer to the question. However, it is likely that there is a better in-person answer to the question. Your body is one of your best resources. Where can you put it so that you are better positioned to meet your goals?
