The biggest challenges

The sole reason i continue to write prolifically after 13+ years of never missing a day is to leave a trail for this college student. A secondary reason surfaced after the original 100-day, self-imposed writer’s bootcamp – writing helps me find peace and contentment on a wild planet.

The biggest challenges with fear:

  • Narrowing the gap between closed mindset and growth mindset
  • Unintentionally fueling no-win discussion/arguments
  • Quelling fear
  • Remaining patient and professional with the opposite
  • Losing hope that there will be a mutual understanding

Life is a career gamble

Random grab from iPhoto library. There are hundreds of thousands of photos. Been carrying a camera with me way before the phone doubled as a camera.

Life is a career gamble.

The reason we work is to earn the currency that allows us to live, eat, and play. And to afford things like insurance and healthcare that help us when we have troubles.

The career you chose – the work you are paid to do – is a reflection of your personal investment in understanding foundational truths.

Rather than riff about it on this post, will stop and simple say, use this blog’s search function and use keywords that focus on what you believe are personal leadership truths. With 5,000+ posts on this individual website, this is a hybrid master-class waiting to happen. The topic: Personal leadership excellence.

God’s gardening along the Continental Divide.

Gardening is the word.

Weeding, watering, digging, planting, trimming, and disposal. Created a good tired last night.

Like a farmer working the land.

Hand tools.

And bare hands, blackened from rich, sandy Florida soil.

Three consecutive hand washings can’t remove all the staining. Life is good.

Leadership is many things. A few favorites are equipping yourself and others with the tools and resources to do great work. Secondly, risk taking is a non-negotiable.

So the iPhone has capabilities i had forgotten about.

The kayak next to us is dipping their iPhone into the water and the view is amazing.

Changed what i saw, and what i saw changed.

Got lift-off?

What is crawling out your second-floor window, climbing to the rooftop via ladder, and watching a Space X Falcon 5 rocket launch?

Just another day living at Walt Disney World.

The only reason this happened is because 40 years ago there was a dream to live less than five minutes from Walt Disney World.

Note: Elon Musk was 11-years old when i had that dream as a 20-something year old.
