Who Has The Coolest Job?

Does Your Job Give You Butterflies?
Does Your Job Give You Butterflies?

Yesterday, asking, “Does the thought of heading into your day today give you butterflies?”, it created a reflective moment.

And perhaps it’s one of those elusive gifts we can not catch or we unconsciously avoid.

If you were in a crowd and someone asked, “Who here has the coolest job in the world?“, would you raise your hand?

PS. Easiest and coolest are usually diametrically opposed.

Dang, I’m A Busy Man!

Ever feel like your life couldn’t get any busier? The United States suffers from an obesity epidemic. Agreed?

There’s another epidemic. It’s our time-starved society. The tough economy has made it even worse. We see it everywhere we look.

And then, to watch the CMA’s last night and hearing George Strait’s song, I immediately thought of this one, from Billy Ray Cyrus, entitled “Busy Man“. Maybe it will give you the courage or creativity you are looking for today.

Your Time Has Come?

One By One, Our Days Expire
One By One, Our Days Expire

The days pass slowly and steadily, like Autumn’s falling leaves.

Eventually, our time will expire.

If we are lucky, we’ll have done what it is we were put here to do.

The leadership challenge for all of us is to figure it out and do it, before it’s too late.

Our playing small does not serve the world.

Let that echo in your spirit and help you find your courage.

Don’t Shrink, Don’t Boast

What If Flowers Were Worried About Showing Off?
What If Flowers Were Worried About Showing Off?

This is a lesson I still struggle with – From Tony Dungy’s second favorite film, Coach Carter (thanks to Skip for sending it our way):

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you…as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Slow & Steady

Not All Trails In Life Are Clearly Marked
Not All Trails In Life Are Clearly Marked

Ever have big plans and a long list of things to get done? How do those days normally work out? If you’re like me you win some and you loose some.

Friday, three days ago, was like that. Some stuff needing to get done, didn’t. Some stuff not on the list got done, wow!

One step closer to some big dreams.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Patience is a virtue. So is humility. And forgiveness. Even in the business world.
