Firstly,
I would like to dedicate the coming five post to my Grandpa Tandal. As an immigrant with a hint of education he didn’t wait for handouts, figured things out and made mistakes along the way.
As a youth he got real sick and they pronounced him dead. He woke up in a mortuary and lived to tell the tale. In fact he was declaired “deceased” more than once.
He married one woman and even when she fell out of love wit him he refused to divorce her. Because he made a covenant before God.
“The day you choose to LIVE, is the day you truly understand the MAGIC of intention.”
Start at the bottom.
I have no clue why people are afraid of going back to basics or starting from ground level. Not just when you’re a spiffy teen getting your first job but when you’re 40’ 50’ or 60’ and redefining yourself. Starting back at square one doesn’t mean you failed. Instead it’s a chance to recreate your dreams from scratch.
We weren’t meant to live linear lives such as…
Go to school.
Get a job.
Create Debt. (ex. house, car, student loans)
What happened to your dreams of owning an island, traveling the world or swimming with the dolphins? Each dream is doable but why aren’t you doing them?
I would like to share with you five observations that I learned from my grandpa and I hope they will serve you. Also join me as I continue the conversation on Instagram.
SELF RELIANCE
He didn’t have rich relatives or a benevolent government. Just his two hands and an unbelievable imagination. He built a business, bought homes in Hawaii and added his last name to seven children. Things were difficult and he made it through a war, prejudices and language barrier. And all he had was his two hands and an unbelievable imagination.
REFLECTION
It’s your turn.
What do you have in your possession right now that can’t be taken away, stolen or sold?
Do you believe that challenges and crisis were meant to fuel your creativity?
What are you good at that no one else can do?
What would it look like if you took a chance on your gifts, talents or abilities?
Who can you share this with?
