Help Wanted

There's nothing more dangerous than a man and his thoughts. I don't know a lot of men on a personal level, but the ones I do know like to think. If given the opportunity to ponder, we men can come up with some crazy ideas. I usually have a few times per week where I am forced to think. This will occur when I have a long drive, time on a mower or fishing. Logically, my summers are packed with deep thought. I am assuming the men who built America: John Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and etc spent a lot time cutting grass or fishing. Of course Henry Ford had many road trips.

My latest thought came while I was mowing. I thought it would be great to have a personal assistant. Not just "business" personal assistant, but a "life" personal assistant. How many times do you hear a song and want to write it down...cue Life Personal Assistant. Let's just call this person LPA. Need a grocery run or a few phone calls made? LPA is there. I am talking about a person that wakes you up in the morning, forces you to work out, do your devotion, provides breakfast and flat out checks your email. There has to be a few ground rules. First, LPA doesn't get involved with the kids or the Mrs. We can't get too lazy! LPA is a fill the gaps in life so time with family can be had.

Before you label me as lazy and effortless, my LPA's first and foremost responsibility would be to keep me on track and busy to succeed in the game of life. This leads me to my second ground rule: my LPA will make sure I spend time with the Lord, time with family, eat healthy, exercise and sacrifice time/money for those in need. My LPA allows me to get more done in life in a shorter amount of time. This may sound too "American," but I would embraced it and do it for good.

What would your LPA do?
