Perfect Kelly

I don't know who "Perfect Kelly" is. I don't think I would be able to relate to him. I don't think I could measure up to him. I think I like Less-than-Perfect Kelly better. He is trying to be the type that doesn't worry about what other people think, doesn't easily take offense, doesn't hid weaknesses behind pride or perceived strengths. Doesn't take things personal or jumps to conclusions or makes assumptions. I am trying to change my character from the inside out even if no one ever notices it.

This week, at the gym, I ran into Richard Chidester, PhD. He is a well known LDS individual, marriage, and family therapist. I told him that I had started or joined a couple of mens groups. He echoed my concern about the collapse going on in our society, especially in the family, and encouraged me in my efforts.

Also this week, a business acquaintance of mine sent me a video clip of Steve Jobs talking about people with passion. Jobs said it best when he said,"People with passion can change the world for the better. . . Those people that are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who actually do it."

Although I believe I am a person with passion, Less-than-perfect Kelly is probably not crazy enough to think he can change the world for the better.

But he's gonna try.
