The Snow Is Not All That Deep, But . . .
The snow is not all that deep but conversations can go to a totally deep depth. It doesn’t always have to be “how are you,” or “sure is a long winter,” etc.
I believe the best way to describe today’s conversation would go towards proficiency ratings – how well we can accomplish a task. It began with how long it would take to change a magneto on a tractor for a 100% accuracy. There is only one way for it to be done correctly and successfully. The length it takes for someone doing it to that correct successful end depends on that individuals personal proficiency and also having the correct tools to achieve that end. An individual may not succeed in the task but the method to achieving the task will always be the same whether manually or by robotics.
From that example the discussion covered products that will be sold, snow flakes and even quilting. The tried and true order of things will always exist and will always continue whether I am here to pass along my talents or not. Listen – do you hear it? Life does go on and while I may have been enduring at possibly a 30% of proficiency the option is out there that the next person or next generation will have the ability to preserver at their own rate of proficiency to the very same end – their own rate of success.
It won’t and doesn’t matter if I do limp along at 30% proficiency and on the off chance I have a intervention to raise that number – it’s mine. In my heart and mind I think I can achieve 100% but I have to include in that equation the outside stimulus of economics, materials at hand or the ever present logic that may alter that level. I have to give myself permission to accept the fact that all things considered I will still have a level of success – my success. My desire would be that no matter what each us do or how we do it there is that little warm fuzzy feeling deep within that we did it the best we could with what we had to work with.
In thought, word or deed it feels good to strive for ourselves as it matters to no one else and we do it for no one else other than for the Heavenly Father that has given us His gifts while we are stewards.
