Random Building Thoughts - 2021-09-23

 
-------------- HUMOR --------------  


-------------- BE A ROLE MODEL --------------  
 

When you're Unwilling to Develop 
Personal Discipline that Promotes Betterment in yourself, 
you can't Reasonably Expect others to be any different.
 
What disciplines do you think you need to cultivate 
to make a positive difference for both yourself 
and those who you influence? 
 
-------------- HOW? -------------- 
 
 
How Deep 
is Your Grasp?
 
Skin deep?
Muscle deep?
Core Deep? 
 
-------------- FIRST THINGS FIRST -------------- 
 

You must First Establish a Transformative Environment 
that shall Nurture the Lodge already there 
before you can Attract Good Men Toward Betterment.
 
What needs to be put in place 
to transform the men 
already participating? 
 
-------------- ASTRONOMY --------------  
 
 
Astronomy: 
It Helps to Know 
Where a Fellow is!
 
Where are you? 
 
  -------------- CHARACTER --------------  
  

D'nial Runs Deep within 
some Branches of the Craft 
and some Brothers have taken
 to Build Massive Homesteads 
upon its Deepest Banks.
 
Where have you built 
your spiritual building?
 
-------------- EASTWARD -------------- 
 
 
The Master | The Ruffian | The Cowan
Look to the East for Great Westerns

<cue music!>
 
-------------- CHALLENGE --------------  

 
You'll not Attract men to your Lodge 
different from the Men already there 
and keep them as members. 
When you don't Transform your Lodge 
then you'll get more of what you already got.
 
What is your lodge attracting?
What is your lodge repelling?
What needs to change things for the better?
 
 -------------- OPEN --------------  
 

It's not odd at all that a Lodge seeks
 to keep its doors open. 
One would expect it to want to do this. 
 
What's odd is to what it keeps its doors open 
when it realizes it has not done 
what's required of it 
and takes desperate measures 
that go against what it espouses. 
 
For what exactly 
are you keeping 
your lodge doors open? 

-------------- 80% --------------  


 If All you Offer beyond the Degrees
is Degree Training and Business meetings,
You already know Why you lose
80% of your Initiates after they're Raised.
You've killed their Interest beyond Repair.
 
What percentage of your lodge's time 
is invested in improving
the men already there?
