Resist making “living like you mean it” a future goal

Resist making “living like you mean it” a future goal.

What?

Don’t save living like you mean it for the future.

Do it now.

Every day.

All day.

Sure it’s challenging.

But once you figure it out, you’re literally unstoppable.

Yesterday was full of Kentucky surprises

hotel maintenance list
Hand-written to-do list from a Hotel maintenance employee. It should not have been sitting out for the public to see. Second photo i took yesterday morning…at the hotel elevator.

Second floor is home to all the convention ballrooms and breakout rooms.

Closer inspection.

Wow, to think this was at one time a high tech improvement over the pencil.

 

Yesterday was full of Kentucky surprises.

Four days at the brand new (five weeks old) Omni Louisville and all i saw was my room and the lobby.

On the way down from the 10th floor, stopped on three to check out the fitness center.

Then stopped at two to see the meeting rooms.

Will be back in Louisville in a few weeks.

It would be prudent to know the resources.

The gift of another ordinary day – i’ll drink to that

Kentucky bourbon
Kentucky bourbon in the hotel room. Very few people have the willpower to drink just the right amount – which ranges from none to half an ounce. Imagine an elite athlete or world-class performer drinking just enough to become impaired before they do their thing. They’d never do it.

 

Kentucky bourbon
Doesn’t take much to produce a buzz. Like a kid in a candy shop, right? Somehow, candy shops make overindulging in sugar seem like a great idea. Same with this hotel room arrangement.

 

The gift of another ordinary day – i’ll drink to that.

Another way to say the same thing

complex Interstate road system
Which way do we go?

 

Marathon finish line
Near the end of my walk “home” last night.

 

Another way to say the same thing (three truths and a lie) from yesterday’s posts is this:

Come up with three outrageous accomplishments or experiences that sound unbelievable –  from your life – with one of them being untrue.

  1. i’ve published 17,000+ blog posts.
  2. Yesterday i walked eight miles round trip to work.
  3. i drive an antique car as my primary mode of transportation.

The two truths and a lie are revealed at the next blog.

Two mental truths and a lie

Need an icebreaker for a group?

Two mental truths and a lie.

Ask your audience to think of two of their biggest mental or attitude accomplishments, milestones, or freakish encounters.

Maybe they used mental stamina to handle the pressure to win a National Spelling Bee championship at age 11.

Perhaps they migrated to America at 23, not knowing a word of English and are now running their own business.

Then ask them to create an outrageous “lie” that competes with their two lifetime achievements.

The goal is to stump the others at their table, or their partner if they’re in pairs.
