Stress can destroy our positive attitude

Windermere Prep Boys Basketball 2016 State Champs
Minutes before the 5pm tip off.

 

Feeling a sense of overwhelm for about 10 days now. And have been working desperately hard to undo it.

Yesterday i started seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Had to quit working by 2:30pm yesterday in order to travel to a High School Class 3A Basketball State Championship game.

When work piles up, we can ill afford to cut our workday short.

But when we are in control, we can cut work, without guilt, whenever we need to.

A consistently busy schedule is all it takes

Motivational wellness keynote speakers
This blog is about our mind, our attitude.

 

A consistently busy schedule is all it takes for our temporary postponement to become a permanent postponement.

Our true priorities never get set in the proper order.

Having the right priorities, but in the wrong order is a ticking time bomb for regret. (Tweet that)

Health, Family time, dreams…

These take a back seat while we work on the urgent stuff.

The past two weeks have been more challenging than normal and i am struggling (more than the normal daily struggle) to get back in control of my in-box.

This paralyzes many people

Safety deposit box
Our branch is closing and we need to move somewhere else.

 

Safety deposit box
In 10 years, we accessed our safety deposit box nine times.

 

One simple decision, where will we move our safety deposit box to, has taken an unusually large amount of time.

Why?

Because change often invites opportunity. Is a new bank, closer to home, a better option than our current path?

Contemplating leaving a long-term (banking) relationship is scary. It could also be a game changer.

How much time should we spend deciding what to spend time on?

Not carving out time to figure this out is the easiest excuse for avoiding our fear.

Because if we carved out time, we’d have to face or fear.

Facing fear is the only way to overcome it.

Blinding flash of the obvious.

Go.

There’s something good about belonging to a tribe

Florida High School 3A Basketball final four
Today revolves around a special “first” for our 15-year old High School.

 

There’s something good about belonging to a tribe.

That sense of being part of something meaningful.

Acceptance.

Shared values and shared experiences.

Support.

Tonight, for the first time in our small School’s 15-year history, or Boys Basketball team has made it to States.

There is something electric in the air.

Almost 13,000 blog posts from a guy who couldn’t write

Socrates quote
The top quote stopped me in my tracks yesterday. Photo: iPhone/Twitter screen shot.

 

Does June 1st mark the beginning of Summer 2016?

And if it doesn’t, what does?

The advent of June reminds me, because my 57th birthday is June 8, that there are three years remaining on the 3rd of five bucket list items i wrote in my second blog post ever.

Yes, second as in second post ever written. You can see it here.
