Let the morning bring abundance

Naval podcast Tim ferris
Listened (pick episode 136) while walking to and from the gym yesterday.

 

Sanibel weather
Today is Thursday.

 

Writing every day is such a fine way to center my thoughts on Thanksgiving.

Giving thanks.

To start a day without this would feel like a punishment – an undeserved imprisonment.

This post has the link to the Tim Ferris Podcast with Naval. It’s 50+ minutes. One of the most intriguing podcasts i’ve ever heard.

If i were you, i’d do myself a favor (go to episode #136) .

PS. This morning’s sunrise was inspiring.

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.

 

Leadership is more than business-centered

Bicycling near Magic Kingdom
Rethinking where and how i do routine life chores.

 

Dermatologist biopsy
Rode bicycle yesterday to dermatologist (photo), gym, dentist, and doctor.

 

We are creatures of habit.

Some of our “good” habits actually make our life more challenging because of the time we need to invest.

When we move to a new residence, we are likely to drive back to the old neighborhood to do business. What starts as a temporary solution until we get settled in our new place, could become a habit lasting until we die.

In our case we had to drive back to our original services (like Doctor and vet) for 20 years, simply because we moved to a rural area without infrastructure.

The infrastructure has been here for several years and yesterday i committed to the transition of establishing things so i can ride my bicycle about a mile to take care of business.

The biopsy results take one to two weeks.

A leisurely seven-minute bike ride trumps a 30-minue car ride. Multiply that by numerous chores, it insidiously adds up.

It’s weird writing at the end of the day

One of my favorite photos of Mickey Mouse because it’s blurry, snd because of the off-site client.

 

It’s weird writing at the end of the day. Not writing in the morning made me feel off kilter. Morning writing is a personal commitment.

Personal commitments either mean something or they don’t.

And personal integrity – doing what we say we’re going to do – is the key to being a workplace leader.

We know this.

The first victory is over self.

What’s today’s fire index?

Fall wildflowers
A few days ago walking to an “interview”. The door caught my eye.

 

When we walk out our door into the busy world each morning, what’s on our mind that inspires us to no end?

Is it one thing all day long or a series of small things, constantly changing before our very eyes.

Is it the morning sun illuminating the flowering weeds next to the unmaintained street?

Is it the decision to slow the pace of life down and walk instead of drive?

Is it the decision to fly all day to meet someone versus just speaking on the phone?

The answer, it would seem, is always “Yes”.
