Nobody’s perfect
August 17, 2008
“Some days, doing ‘the best we can’ may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do. But life isn’t perfect — on any front — and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.”
-Fred Rogers

The Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the battle is between two “wolves” inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “the one you feed. ”

“It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, “Always do what you are afraid to do.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson |
I do believe part of finding our calling in life is to do what we are most afraid of doing.
I can remember my first time in front of the camera. It wasn’t even live, it was just recording a standup. I had to do it at least 15 times, and the worst part was I had a Beattles salute band behind me. They also had to do their part 15 times. It was horrible. They were so nice, but I know they made fun of me that night. My good friend who was already in TV News was standing there so supportive. I was never really afraid of doing news, but it can be intimidating until you learn to look the camera right in the eye.
What I did and still do fear at times is doing live standup comedy. I only have a 15 minute routine right now, but I’m having a blast. JMD
