hahahaha Maybe?I think he just told you to bugger off - your project is too much work for too little return.
He was speaking to sales people (me being one) about in generalâwhat we should and should not be doing for our clients. hahaha You are close! Everyone talks in riddles where I work! (even me sometimes)
Yes to revamping the sayings.What bugs me is how this saying seems to be linked to âbe true to yourselfâ.
Of course one doesnât want oneâs children to follow the crowd that leads them to promiscuous behavior, drug abuse, rotten attitude, materialism. One wants their children to stand firm against all the pressure to conform to societyâs standards. One doesnât want oneâs children to abandon their dreams just because theyâre unpopular with the rest of society. But then you get those people who will twist it to mean all that you should do what you want and to hell with the rest of the world (including your parents and God).
Maybe we should revamp these sayings:newidea: : âFollow the Sacred Heartâ and âBe true to Godâ.
But we have to teach kids to ignore some of the more stupid messages that are coming out of the media. I talk to my kids constantly about these subtle messages.All of that in one conversationoh my goshâthat phrase is overkilled here where I workâŚhahaha
Hereâs one of the conference calls I was on recentlyâŚ
ââŚat the end of the day, when the rubber meets the roadâŚthe bottom line becomesâŚthat we shouldnât be expected to swim the ocean.â
WHAT DID THAT GUY JUST SAY?
? In the words of my Dear Mother, OY VEY!I remember thinkingâŚhe just said a whole bunch of nothing!All of that in one conversation
Yes, itâs true. A man wonât be hurt by those types of sayings, because a man must harden his heart so he wonât hurt, and never show it if he does hurt. When a woman leaves us, we WILL get over it. We have a responsibility to maintain the bulwark and move on. You never know what yourâre going to get, but you will take it, no matter how hard. It is the true measure of a man to remain steadfast and strong.I know, I am no fun whatsoever. Who am I to tell people not to follow their hearts. Do I want everyone miserable?
Interesting about it being women who mainly get hurt by these types of sayings. I had never thought about it before but I think that might be true.
If you have daughters you might want to discuss this issue with them and see if they are, unbeknownst to you, swallowing this hook, line and sinker(sorry, I had to put a clicheâ in there
)I agree!I remember thinkingâŚhe just said a whole bunch of nothing!
Ready for some fun? Before your next meeting go to isd.usc.edu/~karl/Bingo/ print up some cards and youâre ready to play Buzzword Bingo!
Wonder no more.
My English professor loved Joseph Campbellâs advice âFollow your bliss.âI have always viewed âfollow your heartâ as being follow what your feelings dictate. Our feelings are important, but they change. (thus change of heart:newidea: ) SoâŚtelling someone to follow Godâs will, is much more effective than following oneâs fickle heart.
That is just disgusting. That womanâs heart is leading her far from heaven (unless she repents).Check out this site for what can happen when you follow your heart. Please understand that these women are getting an abortion because they are using their emotions as gauges to decide what is right.

Overwhelmingly, what I found, instead was that most women had already gone to God, prayed upon their decision and felt a sense of resolution and right action. Despite whatever their religious leadership preach about abortion or sex, most of the women I counsel have found a very personal connection to God in their journey through thier pregnancy. They have gone to Him for counsel and find His love to be a sense of comfort. Itâs not âwhat does your church teach you about abortion,â that I ask women now, itâs âdoes He know whatâs in your heart?â
**Marnie had chosen to have a medical abortion and we discussed what that would feel like for her. âIt is very important for me to take responsibility for this,â she said, âand do it myself.â She had had a prior miscarriage and felt confident that she could work through the cramping and bleeding as the pregnancy passed. This was going to be private, sacred time, she explained. She had prepared her bedroom at home, bought a new bible and had selected some scripture that she felt spoke to her situation. âI need this to be respectful,â she said, âMe and the baby are going to work through this together.â **
I know! Praise God that I escaped. And we were engaged for a long time, too. I have seen him lately, wandering around dazed and gaunt. I think he followed his own heart or impulses anyway into some illness that may be largely from drinking, never resting etc. Following the kindly advice of most people he knows might have done him more good IMO but then I guess I wouldnât know anything because Iâm just a prude.That is crazy! Arenât you thankful to not be married to a selfish person like that.
How sad for his family. We all owe a responsibility to those who love us not to purposely destroy ourselves. But the saying âfollow your heart.â puts the individualâs changing emotions ahead of those that love him.
