The Family Ship
Manage episode 437113925 series 2637124
If you could design and build your very own cruise ship, The Jesser Ship” What would that look like? What activities would be on there, what shows, what would the design be, the different stops, if it was all you and you had to answer to no one what would your ship look like?
My ship would be clean. Everything is in its place—a library FULL of books.
A track all the way around to run on
It would have a pool, and game rooms, a big kitchen to cook in, Full of Mexican food and diet coke. A surf boat would be attached, and a driver would take me surfing.
Now think of Yourself, as this lone ship.
What career path would you have taken? What dreams would you pursue if it was only the Jesser ship?
When I was younger, I wanted to be an Olympic swimmer.
I wanted to be a flight nurse.
Or a doctor.
Every one of us has an ideal “dream, or Jesser, ship”
But it doesn’t work that way for most of us.
What we have in reality, is the “Rydalch ship”
We all in a sense give up our dream ships, to be part of a bigger ship, the family ship.
We give up some things or come to some compromises as part of our family ships.
That family ship takes some sacrifice of each of us.
We sacrifice time, desires, wants, money, and needs to keep this family ship afloat and moving forward. Sometimes the family ship moves slower, sometimes faster, but we are always trying to keep that family ship afloat and moving forward.
As we move on our "Family Ship Journey" we can ask ourselves a question similar to the British Rowing team that won gold, "Will this make the boat move forward?"
Listen in to today's podcast to hear more about the "Family Ship" and moving that ship forward!
