I bet you’re wondering what Amazon’s warehouses will look like in the near future… no? :) Well, check out the above video anyways, because Amazon just bought the company that makes these cute little fellows, which makes a warehouse floor look like a movable Manhattan. :)

Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently. —

Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we. — G. K. Chesterton

Run Fly Fall, by Paul J. Kim
The video will keep you off balance, but the lyrics will drive you deep. Had to close my eyes the second and third time around to just listen, and sink in. The real deal takes courage, but is beautiful – at the end of our struggle, we have confidence it will be run…fly…soar…
