Not until then will any of us (ever) make dramatic leaps in our leadership

Found this speaker’s talk on becoming a better writer very interesting. For a great writer, she is also a very good speaker. And when Beth began talking about running – like a boss – was compelled to write this post….

 

 

When was the last time we thought about leadership everyday for a whole week (or month, or year)?

And by think about it, let’s be clear and say this:

  • Our responsibility to get better at it
  • Our relative effectiveness, if we could measure it
  • Our preoccupation with how important it is
  • Our preoccupation with how important our every move is
  • Coaching, counseling, teaching others (everyday, remember)

When was a week like that?

When was a month like that?

When was a year like that?

Every dang day.

Got it.

Not until then will any of us (ever) make dramatic leaps in our leadership.

Hunger jar and an impossible goal…

How often do we receive signs? And what category of sign – critical, ironic, hopeful, etc?

And how often from the most obscure place?

Couple of days ago at Disney’s Beach Club having breakfast, overheard a conversation in which it sounded like “hunger jar”. It resonated in such a strange way.

Later, Googled it. Nothing.

Is ‘hunger jar’ like a bucket list? But without a wanting-to-do-things list?

Would a hunger jar contain things we are hungry for, longing for, maybe even desperate for?

A few hours later, back home, a FB update, a trigger, another sign, then a photo, then this post (photo below):

What is it that we refuse to miss a day of doing?

Disney's Yacht Club Resort:
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort: opened it in 1990, stayed there last night, writing from there now

 

Like a few things in life, we don’t compromise. In a way that is challenging to find an explanation, I can’t see missing a day, until I die.

Why? OCD? Who knows.

It’s more like this.

To have the ability to write, the privilege to write, the mind to write, the heart to write, a body that can type, the resources (wifi, laptop/tablet/phone, etc) and something to write about (say blessings and observations) and not do it every single day?

The revelation is – how can I not write. Everyday.

Live and let live and to each his own. Be well today.
