Zen says his life has been spiced with personal and professional opportunities that came through his nurturing of faith, love, and trust that dreams do come true. What built that faith, love, and trust began as an orphan told of his adoption just after his 4th birthday. The spice continued with experiences that span the gamut of the paranormal and include off-planet engagements over a lifetime. Can you say outlier?

My brother read the post as well. He said “blunder0 what is more than that getting married?”
I know he was just joking. But the tripling effect of a bad decision can be much more than simply than saying it was a bad decision.
Humor is often lost in translation, Ali. If we are honest, at some point there is a question of the sanity of our decisions on many fronts and for many reasons. The reality is we have to live with those decisions and either transform them into something better through our learning, or continue to believe or blame others’ responsibility in them. Adjusting our inner reality to reflect those better decisions is often an arduous process for sure. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
My co-host, Ray Silverstein, was a YPO member (40MM annual revenue under age 40) and board member of Devon Bank in Chicago for a couple of decades. He sold his businesses, with 1300 employees roughly, and launched PRO, Presidents Resource Organization (Peer Advisory Boards) over 30 years ago. He reads and writes ‘cliff note’ versions of business books that he uses in his groups. He’s also 20 years my senior. He stresses making best choices, analyzing results and adjusting with the notion of learning personally and organizationally, not self-deprecation. For small business owners, he’s been a huge help over his tenure with PRO. Check him out: https://peeradvisoryboard.com

I agree with Ken Vincent..Thanks for sharing
Do we ever make mistakes on purpose? Some leaders believe that purposeful mis-steps draw out the best in others in overcoming them. It’s the challenge that inspires growth.
