You know how they say, “Do not quit because you could be so close and if you quit, you’ll never know”?

Ever wonder if it’s really true?

Began the speech in a suit. Finished it in jeans, t-shirt and running shoes.

It took 16 years to overcome this fear.

It was a stupid fear.

Starve your doubts

First glances at yesterday’s 2015 Sunshine State Games – for athletes age 50 and over.

 

Starve your doubts.

Feed your dreams.

Simple.

Simple doesn’t mean easy, but it does mean simple.

At work.

At home.

Here, there, everywhere.

All day.

Everyday.

Confession time

Confession time. It’s tough to walk the talk.

Why?

Because of the high probability some will be offended, and our distaste for offending others.

And then those people (your friends, colleagues, Family) will call you arrogant. And they’ll do it behind your back and gossip about you.

This is the first and best sign you have a passion that you can’t contain.

But you may never fully unleash it because you’re too worried about what others think.

Important to note:

Over time we’ve all been jealous of another’s success, or angry at our lack of success. Or both. Our colleague’s success is an unintentional spotlight on our personal issues.

Also over time is the ability to rise above this.

There is an exception to nearly every rule, including this one

Inspiring Buddist quote
There is an exception to nearly every rule, including this one.

 

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. – unknown

While we show up for work for 40-50 years, we are also bringing our whole person with us.

Who leads us if we have a boss?

Many of us unconditionally believe that there is a God and a higher power or spirit.

Some of us even go as far as to say Jesus is the Son of God.

It is this notion that there is a Father, a Son, and a Holy Spirit that nothing can change for devout Christians.

While the only constant is change, for them the only exception is Jesus.

After 5.5 official years as an LLC, feeling like the story has legs now

Mid Life Celebration Visa cards
After 5.5 official years as an LLC, feeling like the story has legs now.

 

One bank offered a credit limit of $1000.

Another bank $7,500.

Which would you pick if you were just starting out?

Application was in 2008 when the recession was near it’s worst. Even so, the financials were ridiculously strong.

Both banks had the same financial information.

Both banks had a minimum of 15 years of our loyal business.

So here we are mid-2014…

Which would you abandon if you could only pick one moving forward?
