Things I Learned from R. B.

Episode 1
Flops, failures and flunk-outs.
I learned more from these than from any blessing that ever came my way.
I shall be candid and tell you that I’ve garnered practically nothing from success—except that it tends to make me over-rate my ability.
I knew a fellow.
We were acquainted with each other for twenty-seven years. Sometimes we were friends; other occasions, enemies. It was always spicy.
He died thirteen years ago.
Yesterday he came to my memory, and I realized that for all intents and purposes, nobody knows about R. B. I think even his family may have allowed his image to slip from their minds.
I learned a lot from him. (Mostly through those aforementioned flops, failures and flunk-outs.)
But there were times that were rich with emotion.
And all the encounters were chocked full of experience.
I’d like to take a while to tell you about that twenty-seven-year journey, one story at a time. They won’t be long—and I certainly hope, not tedious.
If they end up being boring, it’s only because I failed to tell them well.
But at the end of our journey—whenever that happens—I hope we will share the value of learning instead of just assuming.
For the sake of his privacy, we shall refer to him as R. B.
The first time I encountered him was right after I finished writing a musical…
1 Thing You Can Do This Week to Line Yourself Up for Success
Use the Right Verb
When connecting your subject with your object, find the energy to make it powerful.
Be verbal.
ReVERBerate.
If “I” is your subject and “money” is your object, what is the verb that joins the two words?
Is it need? I need money?
Much too desperate.
Is it spend? I spend money?
Typical.
Is it love? I love money?
Then be prepared to dig out the root of evil.
Choose carefully.
I value money. Perhaps—as long as it doesn’t become your heart’s mission.
What if the subject is “I” and the object is “you?”
I hate you. That’s vicious.
I love you. Are you prepared for that commitment?
I ignore you. Be prepared to be ignored, and also receive a side of criticism.
I appreciate you. That verb sends a chill down the human spine.
We want to be loved, but it’s so much better when appreciation is included.
Use the right verb.
It will propel you as you take your subject and journey to your object.

1 Thing You Can Do This Week When You Win
Take the Time to Get Better
One of the classic mistakes of the human race is that we decide to discuss, discover and disagree when failure has arrived and has smacked us in the face.
When you have gone through the trauma of not achieving your purposes, it is not the time to scrape yourself with a razor blade, trying to cut away the portions that caused your problems.
Sweeten and Smooth
The time to improve one’s life is when one has had a successful adventure, and there is no fear or apprehension, but instead, just a desire to Sweeten and Smooth. Life is about revealing what you can do, and finding ways to sweeten it and smooth it out.
A Season of Healing
If you’ve experienced a disappointment, what you need is a season of healing. You don’t need to be reminded of your shortcomings. You don’t have to play the video tape one more time, and you don’t have to place yourself in the role of the scolded child. These are useless profiles for someone who needs restoring.
Winning is the best time to critique yourself. When you lose, develop a sense of humor and give yourself time to recuperate.

Jesonian … May 26th, 2018

The key to success is a smart start.
Human beings fail because they start out on the wrong path, but determine to stick to the plan instead of changing their steps and beginning again. Sometimes it’s good to be perseverant, but often it’s like throwing marshmallows at a brick wall.
Jesonian is finding the heart of Jesus. His goal was to gain total humanity, while simultaneously using his spirit to “show us the Father.” Therefore, it is wise to tap his experiences.
You don’t have to go past the first verse of his manifesto–the Sermon on the Mount–to uncover what Jesus believed to be the key to attaining full awareness and a completed life:
“Blessed are those who know they are spiritually poor.” Thus: Find your weakness, discover your strength.
This is completely opposite from the way we are trained. The media thrust is always, “Find your strength, deny your weakness.” In other words, play up what you can do and play down what you can’t.
Yet what happens when we fail to deliver? We feel compelled to deceive. Otherwise, it may appear that we do not have enough self-esteem to carry the day.
There are two things the human race admires: humility and competence. This is why Jesus told us to lead with an awareness of our own weakness. “He that will gain his life will lose it.”
Why? When our claims are proven false and we fail, looking incompetent, we become defensive, which removes all semblance of humility. “He that would lose his life for my sake will gain it.”
Can we establish an inventory? Can we do it humbly? And then, can we give a competent performance which grows to excellence, startling our critics and increasing our value?
In today’s “super-church” promotion, we have the ongoing premise that “we are all great–we’re just waiting for the enemies in front of us to be destroyed by God’s hand, so that our miracle can be manifested.”
This may get you a hoot and holler in Houston, but it does not give you the kind of start in your life that is sustainable. “Blessed are those who know they’re spiritually poor.”
I am not good at spiritual things. I’m just a few steps out of the jungle, granted a larger brain than the ape and a soul provided by God, which I am still trying to comprehend.
Acknowledging my status launches me into discovery of what talents, gifts, abilities and attitudes I can muster, developing them into strengths to counter my weakness.
The power is in our weakness because once established, it opens the door to progress.
If we lead with strength, then when our weakness shows up, we appear to be insipid liars.
Yes, being Jesonian is making a choice.
Will you follow the folly? Or will you pursue the wisdom of one who came to learn human life, show us God, and empower us to make this journey more and more like heaven on Earth?
