Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
“How bad do you want it” is not a rhetorical question.
Do not shrink your dreams to allow others to remain in their comfort zone.
And do not procrastinate because you’re hoping others will eventually agree or approve.

(photo: Yesterday this appeared on the Mobile WordPress app. WordPress.org is different than .com and is what MLC uses. Registered for .com just to compare the differences.)
Learning involves a critical assumption that we will be exposed to something we didn’t know before.
This can be scary or exciting.
Time consuming or easy.
The only way to truly understand the difference between WordPress .org and .com is to use them both.
It’s the only way for anything, really.
Mostly it’s time consuming.
This is why we need a powerful, clear, concise, and compelling vision of where we are taking our life.
Otherwise the horizon will never look any closer.

Bold question.
Kind too.
Has the reality of your daily life sunk in?
Filled with hope?
Prepared to work incredibly hard?
Yesterday was a bit closer to feeling it here. See photo above.
Today is the last day of the first month of retirement.

Boss: Do everything you’re supposed to do plus one or two projects that add great value to our department.
Subordinate: Hmm… Ok. Sounds good. (Then quietly thinks to herself, “So you’re saying do a ‘good’ job at my day job, and do one or two great things on the side?”)
What this tells the employee is that pursuing excellence, you know, being freaking remarkable at your day job, is not the main focus.
What if the ‘side-project’ was to become the main project?
All day.
Everyday.
Excellent.
A category of one.
Too high?

Invest in yourself.
That’s what regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate rest are – investments.
Do you deserve it?
Of course.
Are you willing to invest in yourself?
Not a trick question by the way.
Go.
