What beats standing 10 to 1? This is the daily Reservist podcast with Anthony Von Gien. He will make it. He always has.
End quote. One of the last conscious statements my dad made before his ability to articulate and speak quickly deteriorated at the last months of his life. When he said he will make it, he always has, he was referring to me and my request for prayers through my sister as I defended my master's theses abroad many years ago. When I heard that I stood 10ft taller, my dad looked up to me.
He, in a sense, stanned me. And nothing, absolutely nothing in my life then could feel more special. When being the person you have always dreamed to be has become reality. Remember that quote?
When reality has finally become better than your dreams. End quote. And yes, when you now stand the person you have always desired to be. That, my dear friend, beats standing others 10 to 1.
Of course, the moment passes and you realize there is still much in you far from perfection and the pursuit of pursuits in different areas of life is renewed and you start over again. Then again, on one hand you start again, on the other, it is done. You start over. Because the quest to be all you are meant to be will always be before you.
But you rest assured, dear friend, because just as you are, and hear this, as a child of the king, he rejoices over you like you are the most precious thing. As I prepare this Friday's content. It's late at night. My 10 year old daughter Solana is asleep just a few feet from me.
She certainly has much to work on in school and sports, in being a truly obedient child. Well, come on. Just like me. But as I look at her with my heart in the right place at this moment, for it isn't always so, but just this moment, Solana is valued, treasured and loved just as she is.
Just like me. And I dare say to you, just like you too. Haven't we been reminded God loves you the way you are, but he loves you too much to let you stay that way. Be the man or the woman you stand today.
That beats standing 10 to 1. It's a Friday and it's time to reflect. Reflecting is the key to the unconscious. And if over 90% of what we do comes from the unconscious, it pays to bring the unconscious to a conscious level.
So think about it. Number one, how can you stand better? Number two, who can you perhaps stand at this point in your Life? And number three, how can you beat standing 10 to 1?
Which means today, how can you be the best you can possibly be. Have a great weekend.
