Be the first?

The Many Glacier Valley. George Grinnell is reputed to be the first white man to visit what is now called Grinnell Glacier.

Be the first?

What does this mean?

You can define it any way you want.

Does it matter to be the first?

Lots of research touting the benefits of being first to market. You’re probably familiar.

Not as much chatter about becoming a category.

Life is about choices.

Choices birth consequences and/or opportunities. Opportunities birth a price that must be paid.

The price to be paid then leads us back to the beginning of the cycle – a choice must be made – to pay or walk away.

There’s a time and a place to give up

Sad, but true. Do want you want to do with your life. It’s your life. Balance is a moving target.

There’s a time and a place to give up.

You can only learn this by experimenting with your judgment – this is your personal leadership responsibility.

Often, the test results from your experimenting won’t be available for months, years, even decades.

For example, giving up on staying active, eating and resting well, and staying motivated and having fun won’t generally reveal what a mistake that was until decades later.

Every day we are busy doing one or the other

Dark mode. Going to use it to see what happens. Trying new things is challenging for most. New things may not be as good as the old tried-and-true things.

 

MacBook storage metric
Two MacBooks. Always have a backup.

 

Every day we are either busy being born or we are busy dying.

Disney has taught me the power of being intentional and helped me with a transformational reality:

i am intentional with the same things i used to be unintentional with or ignored.

17 years of weekends and counting

This bead jar has been in front of me every day since August 2000. A remarkable payoff for a $10 investment and one hour of my time to drive to the craft store for a jar and a bag of beads.

 

Be careful that you are doing the wrong things well and with great velocity.

You may spend your entire life never knowing.

How wasteful would that be?
