Those of you that know what this means, know what this means

does this photo make sense to you?

This photo makes no sense if you didn’t start here, which would have led you to here, which then would have taken you here… which would have brought you directly here (the post your reading now).

But if you did start there though, this photo makes perfect sense.

And whether this makes sense or not, it all comes together for the grand finale here.

 

Is it appropriate to be thinking intensely about work on New Year’s Eve?

Is it appropriate to be thinking intensely about work on New Year’s Eve? And let’s just make sure the context is crystal clear – you know, the biggest party day/night of the year

We could guess that the only yahoos insane enough to be thinking about work today are the ones who are probably insanely in love with what they do.

An exceptional employee (or owner) has a sacred responsibility to reach others. To light fires. And show others how to keep them lit.

Happy New Year. Party on!

Can you see yourself smiling when no one else can see you smiling? Like, maybe, right now?

Sunday morning 8:18am, December 30, 2012. It’s cold outside in most of America. Cold.

Sitting at a second floor, east-facing, work-from-home-desk, smiling. Bright. Man it’s bright.

We often make year-end personal inventory lists of our accomplishments and our regrets on a day like today.

This early, on holiday, we’re not in the mood for making lists.

Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not.

The stupid paradox of career ambition no one talks about is the fact that climbing the ladder leads to a place few rave about. All you have to do is watch and listen. Of course, there are exceptions to nearly every rule.

With more money, we buy bigger things, versus investing in passive income streams. With more responsibility, we are medicated and distracted from our health, relationships, and the things that bring us joy.
