Dear Morning

Disney's Magic Kingdom entrance
Planning the night before made this walking excursion possible.

The 4-mile walk had me pass this way twice.

 

Dear Morning,

The work day begins the night before. i love being ready to go. Alive, excited, grateful.

To do work that matters, to have the morning to set the stage for the rest of the day – pure genius.

Dear Yesterday

Grinnell Glacier overlook trail
It is steeper and scarier (with the high winds) than it looks. You can see hikers over Dave’s shoulder.

Dear Yesterday,

You are my best teacher.

Every morning begins reflecting on what i learned yesterday (that’s you), what i get to do today, and what i hope for tomorrow.

The work experience you faithfully provide, the mentors, the mentees, the opportunities, the occasional heartbreaks, and the global exposure, these only scratch the surface in shaping the leader i am today – and the leader i desire to become before my 60th birthday.

Each morning i spend a third of my day thinking about you, a third thinking about Today, and a third thinking about Tomorrow.

Fair enough?

Ps. See you again tomorrow.

Dear Tomorrow, a letter to me

 

Dear Tomorrow,

i love that when we meet each morning, you unselfishly become today.

Ps. Thank you for all the today’s that have become amazing opportunities to learn, grow and transform.

Pss. See you “tomorrow”.

(This post is me talking to me…reminding myself to take healthy risks and remember that i’m in charge of every decision – and every decision brings potential opportunity.)

There are still many business models that have stood the test of time.

As time passes, they too shall become vulnerable, and then ripe, for reexamination.

Who says when and where and how often you can travel to conduct your entrepreneurial business?

Wouldn’t it seem it’s up to the CEO?

And isn’t creativity the DNA of every great organization?

Saying, and believing it is one thing; however, doing it is for outliers.

Learning to lead yourself is often under-focused on at home

Cross Country warmup
Warming up, as a team – both high school and middle school.

 

Learning to lead yourself is often under-focused on at home. i think older parents are better positioned to over-focus on this. Older parents are often grandparent age, yet have full-on responsibility for a middle schooler or high schooler.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
