I wrote recently about “failing faster” and mentioned a John Eldridge quote. Here’s the whole thing about
“Most people go through life alert and oriented times 2 or 3.”
When a Coast Guard jumper goes into the water he (or she) is miked-up and upon securing the person being rescued, will radio back up to the crew the condition of the person being rescued.
He'll say “Alert and Oriented times 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.”
If someone is not alive, literally dead, the message will be “alert and oriented times ONE, I repeat, alert and oriented times ONE.”
Times TWO is – alive but unconscious.
Times THREE is – conscious but no awareness.
Times FOUR is – conscious, in and out of awareness.
Times FIVE is – FULLY AWARE, ALIVE AND FULLY AWARE.
John Eldridge in his fabulous read “Waking the Dead” claims most people go through life…
……Alert and Oriented times TWO or THREE.
To that end….
be alert and oriented today TIMES FIVE. Be ALIVE.
Be FULLY AWARE.
