Why is running a popular Spring time activity at major campuses?

Because smart people know that intellectual stimulation, by itself, is a thin disguise for wisdom.

And running requires minimal equipment /investment. And you see a lot while you do it.

It is in the balance of life’s big wellness choices – mind, body, spirit, work, home – that one becomes wise.

The old ways of doing work are collapsing and smart people can not stop it.

Smart people are resisting. Smarter (the new smart) people are exploiting embracing what is nothing less than a new world order.

Enthusiasm doesn’t fall from the sky, it’s cultivated and practiced

 

How much is enough when you are never satisfied? The hardest thing in the world to explain to someone outside of a company that has a world-wide reputation for excellence is that none of it magically happens.

On the fourth and final program day, the Orlando Interpretation company co-founder pulled me aside, “I’ve been talking with the two interpreters and the three of us agree you’re the best Facilitator we’ve ever encountered”.

Dear Son, I was stunned.

We do what we do, in this case 14 years as a professional speaker, carrying insecurities about our worth.

This is an example of how being an artist creates (deep) impact.
