This kid figured out the keys to life 20 years quicker than I did. You may not want to live in the moment every moment of the day, but I urge you to relax and just let life happen sometimes.
My thoughts on my personal experience of life. You don’t have to agree. 🙂

Joe Winett We just had a discussion under his post of his music that he made when he was homeless about how when you find a way to be happy when you’re homeless, that the rest of your life is awesome and every joy is just gravy… every burrito is the best ever…17 minutes ago · -

Joe Winett Many Christians speak about a moment in their life when they realized that God had broken them down, back to basics, and they learned to just go with the flow and accept what may come. And then, they were truly happy.14 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett But that isn’t a matter of submitting to God’s will, it was just God teaching them a lesson about how the universe works. You can strike out on your own, and God respects that, but the satisfaction you receive by doing it your way pales in comparison to the joy you would have experienced along the way had you just done what was to come next for you.13 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett At times in my recent life, I’ve become anxious and impatient, wanting the things I knew my skills could bring me, and then I was always gently reminded that everything will come in its time… actually, I was being trained to find bliss in the moment, not needing anything. He who is happy with nothing is as rich as any other man alive.11 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett In 2007, I opened the Bible to a random page and slapped down my finger on this portion of the 1st Psalm of David: “But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”9 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett And now I can honestly say that my delight is in thinking about the universe (and God) day and night. I can do that wherever I am, whenever I want. It’s delight on tap, and it all happens in my brain.8 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett That phrase, “that bringeth forth his fruit in season” to me means to be patient… there is a time for the harvest, but there is no Earthly calendar… You know it’s Fall when the leaves start turning brown.7 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett Some of us say what needs to be said and then check out at 27 and move on, some of us do our work in our 60s, some of us just enjoy the sunshine…6 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett I can no longer list all of the weird things that I’ve noticed along the way that led me to my current state of being. And, even if I had a good list, they would still add up to crazy in your estimation because you have no frame of reference for my experience. Those messages were for me alone and would mean nothing to you.4 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett But I assure you that they were awesome in their placement and specificity — not just messages, but messages with physical proof of their relationship to my life… and from sources produced by people with no connection to me and with no knowledge of the message. They were busy going with their flow, following their muse, listening to God whisper in their ear. “Cool!” they thought — that works in this scene.2 minutes ago ·

Joe Winett These are giant works of great but different value to everyone who sees them.about a minute ago ·

Joe Winett In that way, fiction is actually more effective than non-fiction. First of all, to tell you that a work is non-fiction puts the burden of proof on the author (or the filmmaker, or the songwriter, or the preacher) and some things just cannot be proved to a general audience — the proof is provided specifically to the individual and a guy on television doesn’t know you.2 seconds ago ·
