Inadvertent Opportunity

Yesterday, I sent out an e-mail listing 8 people whose services I have enjoyed and wanted to share. And, I had the computer add a ninth name to each list — yours: <YOUR NAME HERE>!

This led to many people thinking that I was actually singling them out.
Which is awesome. And, a bit awkward.
While I have no qualms making people feel good,I have less desire to mislead.
There is spurious wisdom out there that the Chinese character for crisis is actually opportunity plus danger. While this etymology is bunk, let me still turn this potential issue into an opportunity. For you. And, for me.
If I were to list you on the ROTB services page, what would you have me put?
Here’s an opportunity for you to think of yours.
And, then, what I would put for me.

On a Mission from God
Rabbi Brian
oldrotb.wpengine.com

I work for Religion-Outside-The-Box (ROTB.org) to produce articles, podcasts, as well as in-person and semi-virtual seminars.
My work is to help adults maintain a healthy, adult relationship with God.
I can help you de-tangle your baggage with regard to surrender, society, religion, and God. I won’t tell you want to think, but will help you unlearn, learn, and flesh out for your beliefs for yourself.
I work for God in a “Blues Brothers” meets “John Lennon as an ordained rabbi” kind of way.
My short term goal is to add 31,500 people to the religion-outside-the-box mailing list by July 1. E-mail ideas to help.  My long term goal is to spread love.

This week’s #wisdom_biscuits:
Think about spelling out what you stand for.
When possible, turn challenges into opportunities.  

“I love you” x 3

For reasons a team of psychoanalysts might have been able to crack, my dad couldn’t get the three-word phrase “I love you” to come out of his mouth. I knew he loved us. It’s just he couldn’t say it. I rationalized that I didn’t need to hear those three words, but it hurt anyway. This is the story about how

Truth Matters

I am standing in Kenya, with my left foot in the Northern Hemisphere and my right foot in the Southern. A line on the ground indicates the equator. Young men—asking for nothing, but hoping for tips—entertain and educate tourists, like me, about the Coriolis effect. They pour water into bowls with small holes at the bottom and let the water

Stuff Gets To Me

✧✧✧ As I pack up to leave after my workout, someone asks me, “Hey, Rabbi, how are things going?” I’m not one for small talk. Especially after being called by my title. “Well,” I reply. “I’m sad.” “Why?” “I’m thinking about the girls who went to school in the morning in Minab, Iran—over a hundred of them—killed by a bomb.”
