The Art of Plate Spinning

Yes. Indeed, there is an art to the spinning chaos. You must be so talented at spinning that when you are unable to spin due to sickness or fatigue, leisure or holiday your plates still spin.

While you are with family, at work or school you must dig so deep and deliver so hard that when you are not there your presence is known. Make every moment count when on task that you leave a spiritual inertia when you're not physically there. Make sense? Lets move on.

You can not just spin hard, you must spin carefully with intent. Take away the figure of speech for one second and lets just spin plates. Okay, not just any plate. We are now spinning grandma's china from the early 1800's. Yeah, that's a little different isn't it. Do you get what I am saying? You are not going to just spin hard. You are a little more focused now, a little more aware of just how careful you need to be. You stare at the plate a little closer and concerned and with  steady yet firm hand you spin.

Okay, wake up! Back to our metaphorical plates: work, school, kids-- china. Get it? Good. Be careful-- plan ahead, work ahead. Stare at each plate in the face and tell it what to do. Be its boss. If you know you wont be there email ahead of time. If its an unexpected absence, email. Your plates are still spinning because while you were there you spun hard and diligently with purpose.

#spiritual inertia (Haha, I like it. Use it.)

Now, move along and spin!
