We know this and respond appropriately

(photo: iPhone screen shot… the magic (aka passion) is drained out of us with, “Quit acting like a child… grown up, etc”)

Funny isn’t it, the way we dream of change and yet do the same routine in spite of knowing better?

Can you picture the fictional Ostrich sticking it’s head in the sand in order to hide?

This is (literally) sickening sad to any soul who views their job as art. Who treats creating magic as a privilege.

How can anyone desire this and not take action to not schlug through their day, day after day?

The triumph is in walking away. Walking away from mediocrity and average.

But how does one decide to simply walk away. Easy. Take the risk.

Taking risks is risky.

So is playing it safe.

We know this.

And do nothing.

Who’s in charge of managing your regret?

Leaders (and we are all leaders) have a lot on their plates.

Today, even before one thing is solved or one victory is gained, two or more new challenges will be queued up clamoring for our attention.

Creating a legacy with the 2014 Glacier trip just days ago. And in a couple days creating additional legacy at the other end of life… Cedarbrook Brookview.

Who’s to say how long an 88 and 91 year old will Grace us with their presence.

You are in charge of minimizing regret in your life.

Think things through.

Then do something.

We are born as natural entrepreneurs

Commencement Speech
The first paragraph is profound (no need to read the rest). Author unknown.

 

All humans are born entrepreneurs. And this has been so all the way back to the beginning when we lived in caves.

We were – and still are – the owners of our existence and had to find entrepreneurially creative ways to survive each day.

Being an entrepreneur is not something reserved for special or talented people.

It’s reserved for anyone wanting to upgrade their cave.

Mantras can serve as medicine

Without Limits movie scene

 

Without Limits movie scene

 

Remembering this mantra: Lose a battle to win the war.

On it.

Recently inspired (again) watching a top three all time favorite movie, Without Limits (the struggle for understanding between Bill Bowerman and Steve Prefontaine – an Olympic Coach and an Olympic Athlete at the 1972 Munich Olympics)

(yes, this is obscure yet it frees a writer to occasionally put something on paper that just feels good to say – it’s so cathartic)

(and it brings a Heavenly smile that is 1,000 times bigger on the inside)

(it’s extraordinarily healthy)

(it’s like having a therapist)

Celebration or Crisis? A choice each of us gets to make.

Celebration or Crisis? A choice each of us gets to make.

 

It’s currently incomprehensible that a single day could begin without private, quiet contemplative time before the sun comes up.

This truly has been a game changing discovery.

And life changing habit.

It requires giving up a few things:

  • watching TV
  • staying up late

The harsh reality is life requires commitment and decisiveness.
