Christmas evening 2012, 9:50pm…

A promise is a promise.

Overcoming adversity is overcoming adversity.

Ridiculous is the new remarkable.

Remarkable is when people make remarks, like I have been – since opening Seth Godin’s new 800+ page behemoth book, “This Might Work”.

It arrived from China a few weeks ago via Amazon. Didn’t open the box until three days ago.

Chapin and I gave it to Cheryl as a “fun-gift”, for no real reason than simply because it is such a ridiculous book.

Gigantic, 19+ pounds. Not for sale in stores nor online. Months ago I pre-ordered it, expecting it to arrive in March 3013.

Ha!

I was a complete joke, and maybe still am

I was a complete joke from 2003 – 2008, and maybe still am. Laugh if you want, but this applies to all of us. When we look back on our lives in five and ten year increments, we seemed like such a punk “back then”.

What we convinced ourselves was impossible then, is so minuscule now, it’s embarrassing how small we thought “back then”.

Our big, hairy, audacious goals right?

Why do we dream them up if we aren’t gonna go for it?

Sometimes we sit on these for decades.

Four years ago I forced myself to write five daily, differently-themed blogs for 100 straight days (500 posts upon completion).

Now, what was once impossible to accomplish, is now my “surplus-posts buffer”.

So yeah, there are 100 days (500 posts) already written. Done. Waiting. Extra.

Pretty ridiculous, eh?

We thrive, or regret, in proportion to this common, but quiet, opportunity… (freely shared here)
