Hey everybody!
“Vamos!”
Hope you’re running with intention!
“My car 😉 “
I’m inspired by Wimbledon’s Filipino tennis striker Alexandra Eala. When Eala slipped on the Wimbledon grass chasing down a shot, she simply invented a new move. Let’s call it a plank forehand?! She made the shot, and won the match!
“CLUTCH!”
Eala’s default response to the “trip” wasn’t “give up”.
There was no narrative drift or identity attached to the fall.
It aligns with how Mossad trains Israeli soldiers. They activate something called a cognitive anchor. It confines obstacles to “information” status. Instead of thinking “impossible”, soldiers verbalize the phrase, “UPDATE DATA RECEIVED”. That frees thinking and action!

There’s always so much more going on than we realize, especially in the unseen. Astrophysicists are now studying lightning. It’s never been completely understood how bolts are actively triggered. Typical thunderstorms only have one tenth of the electric juice needed to spark. The cosmic detectives now theorize that every time you see a bolt, there is a physical connection to a dying star somewhere in the galaxy!
Electrical impulses fire within our brains. Yet no current is the same.
One of my favorite shows is “Patience” on PBS. Patience is an autistic detective who connects the dots with a remarkable perspective. Much of it, however, focuses on her relationship with her team. Like lightning, there’s often much more to discover.
“Patience fastens to faith.”
It’s been my experience that sometimes humans are quick to attach a “fail” instead of a “update data received” in interpersonal relationships. I know I’ve fallen into this.
Phil M. Jones, author of “Exactly What to Say”, has some practical tips for challenges. He proposes a question: “What makes you say that?” Jones says this can open up dialogue.
Could every “Update Data Received” simply be an endeavor for more? The scriptures advise: “Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others.” (Colossians 3:12/TPT)
Endeavor well this week 😄
