Fear is a highway, but began as a footpath

Life (and fear) is a highway

 

Fear in the professional world is so thick, it nearly chokes us.

It’s good to be able to identify it in others.

Why? To help us see the early signs in ourselves, and slay it before it chokes us.

If we complain a lot we get really really good at it

Excerpt from David and Goliath
Life is about choices, whether we focus on this or not, we still have a pattern

 

If we complain a lot we get really really good at it.

If we rejoice a lot we get really really good at it.

We become what we focus on, whether we mean to or not.

Hell or Heaven?

Up to us.

The degree-of-difficulty paradox in breaking habits?

The degree-of-difficulty paradox in breaking habits? Since both bad habits and good habits are hard to break, we would not be a great leader if we did not focus on good habits.

The real temptation is at the beginning though. Bad habits are easier to start because they medicate, distract, or entertain us. This is perfect for the busy, overwhelmed leader who could use some relief. No?

What is it that we refuse to miss a day of doing?

Disney's Yacht Club Resort:
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort: opened it in 1990, stayed there last night, writing from there now

 

Like a few things in life, we don’t compromise. In a way that is challenging to find an explanation, I can’t see missing a day, until I die.

Why? OCD? Who knows.

It’s more like this.

To have the ability to write, the privilege to write, the mind to write, the heart to write, a body that can type, the resources (wifi, laptop/tablet/phone, etc) and something to write about (say blessings and observations) and not do it every single day?

The revelation is – how can I not write. Everyday.

Live and let live and to each his own. Be well today.

What is the harsh reality of enjoying a productive summer at work?

What we put up with, we end up with.

What we accept by default becomes our standard.

This is the harsh reality in our careers. What if we would have started 100 days ago and read one business book every month, and read Seth Godin’s daily blog on top of that?
