Enoughness 101

Well, hey. Hey there, Cadre. How are we this morning? Are we good? I hope we are. Great. Go ahead and wait a minute or two here before we jump on in with a little Saturday morning live stream, Cadre Today. As we are waiting to get things going, two plugs. We have two Cadre Today interviews this week. Monday morning, Luke will be joining me. Good morning, Amy. I hope it's warming up up there. Luke Wetland, founder of Cadre, will be joining me at 7:30am Central Standard Time Monday morning for a Cadre Today interview.

And then on Wednesday morning, the one and only Betsy Hodges will be joining me, 7:30am Central Standard Time for Cadre Today interview right here in the Cadre platform. Kristen, how are you? Robert, how are you? Good to see y'all. It is warming up back up here in Minnesota. And by warming up, I mean we're going to be back up in the double digits, y'all. Let's go. Let's go. Yeah. Throw that heart. C. if we've never shared time and space together before, I hope you are doing okay. I have to get. I have to ask a question.

Can you ever hear pictures, like if you see a picture of something, have you ever had one that makes you hear something? Well, after this live stream, I'm going to be placing in the community feed for personal growth and development. I'm going to put a picture in there that I can hear every single time I see it. And here is what I hear when I see this picture. I'm going to play a little ditty. Tell me if you know what it's from. Put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking across the floor.

Put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door. Can you see the picture that I see that makes me hear that song? C. i have no idea what you're talking about. I'm gonna give you a moment. Someone can win a Cadre point. I just made that up. It's not worth anything. But what was that song from? A few more seconds. Okay, I'll tell you. That song is from one of those lovely obscure claymation Christmas movies from like the 60s. The movie was called Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

And in this scene there is this kind of this grizzly. What is he? Is he a gnome or some or something? But he's, he's. He's like the. He's like the grunchy grouchy bad guy. And he's hanging out with a young. See, Marisa, I knew. I knew someone would. Would have it. And a young Santa Claus, a young Kris Kringle is traveling with this grizzly guy. And the grizzly guy kind of gets down in the dumps. And all of a sudden this young Santa Claus sings this song, Put one foot in front of the other as a system for how to professionally and personally develop.

Well, I'll tell you this. I was meeting with a friend of mine yesterday who is a caretaker. Times like seven is a sandwich generation caretaker. So taking care of parents of aunts, taking care of children who have uniquenesses that make the journey one that's harder simply because the society is not set up for. For them to have as much ease taking care of their children as other people. And then also recently had surgery themselves. So taking care of self, taking care of parents, taking care of kids, taking care of the world.

And we're sitting yesterday meeting at a hospital because that was the most convenient place for them to meet. And she's like, gosh, I just had this song stuck in my head. As you know, they're kind of chuckling through all the chaos that's going on. And right away I was like, put one foot in front. She's like, that's it. That's it. That's the song. It's in my head. And I go, it's so funny. I've had that song in my head for the last 40 years. Anytime that I feel like I'm not going anywhere, let's say I'm running a long race.

That song will go on my in my head for hours and hours. Let's say it's one of those weeks that just there's too much and it's not aligned or there's a situation I'm in, maybe organizationally that I'm going, yep, this is a mess. What do I do? You know, you see Kristen in chat there. Put one floor plank in front of the other. Kristen was laying a new floor in their house last week. Exactly. Doing the thing that you can do next and then considering to repeat. And we talk about enoughness here on Saturday mornings.

This is a really good application of enoughness that one foot in front of the other isn't going to solve the problem, but it is going to create a system change. Listen to this verse. It's the second verse of Put one foot in front of the other from Santa Claus is coming to town. And this is when the old grizzly guy speaks. This Verse, so I'll do my best speak saying of this verse if you want to change direction if your time of life is at hand well, don't be the rule, be the exception. A good way to start is to stand.

Let's sing it, everybody. Put one one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking across the floor Put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking out the door. I love that third line. Don't be the rule, be the exception. A good way to start is to stand. The world may say that it's not enough to do the little thing, or they may pander to you and say, oh, it's okay, just get started. And they'll use just language, right? As if just means it's small. No, to stand is huge. To be the exception rather than the.

Well, it's just going to take a lot of time. It's going to take consistency, and it's going to take you doing exactly the things that I'm telling you what you need to do right now. Nobody knows your path. But that grizzly guy is kind of like a Grinch story, right? All of a sudden he appears to be this evil bad guy like the Grinch or like the neighbor in Home Alone one with a shovel, or like the homeless lady with the birds and Home Alone 2. What happens to all these people? They're given a chance to release their hurt, to release their pain, to release the perception that the world's given them.

And all of a sudden, like, the iciness melts away from this and you see the. Like the plumpness of his skin. You see tears and smiles, and you go, oh, the world made it really easy for him to think that he couldn't do anything about it. And all of a sudden he's like, nah, world, you may need a villain, but I'm not going to be that one. So if you ever feel stuck, if you ever feel like the world is saying, well, you just need to. And you're not, so it's your fault. My invitation. Put one foot in front of the other.

We need to do it three times or it won't be stuck in your head the rest of the day. And soon you'll be walking across the floor. Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you'll be walking out the door. I'll be back tomorrow. You got Kristen coming up in an hour. You got Dan Griffin coming from the west coast this afternoon and again next week. Cadre Today live interview on Monday with Luke Wetlandt Wednesday with Betsy Hodges. 7:30am Central Standard Time. Both days. We'll talk to you later.

Have a good weekend.
