Yes of course she’s weird:
She is very intentional where others are not.
Bit of a freak to be honest.
And so at peace.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but it sure is tempting to feel sorry for ourselves isn’t it?
When someone mistreats us isn’t that automatic permission to lash back? But then we’d be a hypocrite. Or maybe, just human.
We push the envelope at work.
We empathize with mediocrity – the ones just going through the motions, maybe even a chip on their shoulder – knowing they have a hard life.
The harsh reality for the world, especially the pessimistic, is that everyone has a hard life.
Just because we don’t verbalize our excuses, doesn’t mean our list isn’t a mile long.
Yet we remain silent, not wanting to directly say, ‘Your excuses are invalid.’
We suck it up. We continue to honor our customers and peers like there’s no tomorrow.
On a related note, we wonder if our bosses honored their direct reports and peers the same way, what might happen?
Transformation?
Decent analogy is that parenting’s toughest job is knowing what’s really going on.
Same with leadership.
Most parents – and leaders – are clueless.

Why would an Orlando based motivational speaker write five daily blogs instead of a single, focused daily blog?
The secret of getting on the shortlist is doing your best work fearlessly for a long time before you get on the list, and (especially) doing it even if you’re not on the list. – Seth Godin
Because being a life balance expert requires specializing in five areas, not one.
It’s five times as much work.
Kinda like trying to attain balance.
Life is hard work no matter if we have balance or not. Balance has a ripple effect that makes everything less challenging.
This is why the work is worth it.

She hasn’t missed a weekend post.
Ever.
Remarkable.
Thank you Lorie.
And please know that today’s post (100 day’s old now), is a God-send as they say.
Sometimes winning doesn’t mean proving anything to anyone. Sometimes it means letting go and moving on. – Lorie Sheffer
Just yesterday many of us had events and moments of confusion and in our quest for clarity during the past 24 hours, Lorie’s quote (above) makes it crystal clear what one plan could be moving forward.
