Back in the day, Jimmy didn’t have a hit.

12 albums listed between red lines. Two yellowed out never got stocked by record stores. Never heard of them until Apple Music came along.

None of Buffett’s Live albums (and there are a bunch) are listed.

Life is just a tire swing.

Oasis of quiet, at work

Looking back at Pollock Mountain and the Continental Divide’s Eastern (left side) cliff edge. Not sure if Steve or Stacy snapped this pic.

Good and very good aren’t good enough.

If excellence is achievable, why wouldn’t you achieve it?

Ps. Excellence is always achievable.

The key is proper motivation. You’re in charge of that as your CMO, Chief Motivation Officer.

Group pic on top of Pollock. My second time. Both Pollock summits have been with Steve and Stacy. The first time, it was so windy that Stacy stayed maybe 100′ from top to avoid the risk of being blown off. True story. Steve and i never stood upright the first time. We stayed five minutes tops because of the wind-chill factor.

Here we go to the main event…Bishops Cap.

It’s lonely at the top.

To be a rock, a steady and sure-footed traveler through life’s high’s and low’s, you have to walk the talk.

The past week there have been hallucinations that look like doubt – the doubt that is human nature. The doubt that comes from inexperience. The doubt that comes from low self-confidence.

Like regret, doubt sucks.

Today’s blog writing is helping me coach myself.

Theory is worthless without committed, consistent action.

Common sense, common practice.

That’s how you slay the un-slayable.

Looks good on paper.

Creative mindset

Adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it.

My personal vibrancy’s strength is proportional to my habit’s strength.

The higher the stakes, the harder it is to survive unexpected blows. This is true for everyone.

Classic example of “build your house out of rock on a rock foundation”. Recall the parable “The Three Little Pigs”.

Google says Bishops Cap is 9,127′.

Summiting Bishops Cap in 2023 is the most significant hiking accomplishment for me.

dad

Bishops Cap is an even greater accomplishment than Reynolds.

Had several years of reconnaissance hikes for Reynolds.

Never even attempted Bishops Cap reconnaissance.

Thought about it.

But never backed the thoughts (dreams) with action.
