Life is kinda funny

Little girl watering a large flower bed — My classic photo: The $2.99 K-Mart poster, years before Cheryl became pregnant.

Little boy walking in flowers with a butterfly net — A decade after the previous classic photo, here’s another classic photo: The real-life version of my vision from that $2.99 K-Mart poster.

Life is kinda funny.

Different opinions.

Different values.

Different beliefs.

Different actions.

Different outcomes.

Don’t be early

Granite Park Chalet — GNP. Work like you mean it is a real thing.

If dad’s first love was his work, we take our job to be our full-time mistress and wonder if dad is watching from his grave as we work ourselves into an early one.

Your actions should not come as a surprise

Walt Disney picking up trash — People go nuts when they see a photo like this. Why? Not sure. What stops any of us from picking up trash all the time? Walt’s actions shouldn’t surprise us.

Your actions should not come as a surprise.

When a CEO “gets caught picking up trash”, a buzz is created.

Why?

Because she’s setting such a great example, right?

Here’s my point (again), why would this ever become newsworthy? Isn’t the CEO always picking up trash? In my world, this should never astonish and inspire people.

Why?

Because everyone should be picking up trash all the time.

Who’s your leadership role model?

Apple Store Central Park, out for a morning run.

Who’s your leadership role model?

Are they balanced in all five of life’s big buckets, or do they excel in several?

Look for balance.

Balance is the key.

Mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

Neglect or underperforming in one area exerts suffering on the other four.

Neglect or underperforming in two areas and you are exponentially suffering in the other three.

Heaven forbid you excel in only two areas.

No one talks about this because it’s so pervasively avoided that avoidance is the only medication to the painful reality that everyone thinks balance is a myth.

And when i say everyone, i mean everyone but the outliers, the misfits, the round pegs in a square hole.

Actions speak louder than words, oh my

Water bottles — Yesterday at a High School parent focus group. Staying hydrated is led by example. The gallon jug belongs to a faculty member.

What we do hollers so loudly, others cannot hear what we say.
