Top prority today — slay my demon-fear.

Hiking a trail today that has scared me for five decades.

There is no room for failure. Even if i have to crawl.

GNP Day 25, mentally

7-second video: Our first hike together in 2022.
7-second video: We both thought a 10-mile hike with elevation was too much on day one. We also thought if we walked slow, we could mitigate over-doing it.
25-second video: “This is pretty good.” Jody is teaching me why and when a midwesterner says this.
10-second video: First animal sighting on this trail.
Mountains
Continental Divide. Eastern slope.

Blessed beyond measure to be given the opportunity to choose my attitude.

And to be able to do it all the time, anywhere.

GNP Day 24, mentally

8-second video: Off to a nice start. The building porch provides just-ok wifi. Three steps away and no wifi. But sometimes it’s worth it to walk away for a brief moment.
5-second video: First sunrise of 2022 Glacier trip #2.
Mountain
Across the empty parking lot.

me: Hey jeff.

me: Yeah.

me: Dude, you do too much explaining.

Resolve to…

Think like a beast.

Talk like a miser.

GNP Day 23, mentally

10-second video: Heading north. Unique sky…great karma.
Man sitting in first class airplane seat
Fancy first class.

Today is a great day for a great day.

Technically, every day is a great day for a great day.

Easy to forget.

Unless thinking this way is a habit.

Why do you have a mind?

The gift of an ordinary day. Next video is same place, different day. No clouds on the next one.
6-second video: same planet, different day.

Why do you have a mind?

Today, five questions.

Go past obvious answers.

Way past.

The DNA basics are accessed through focus and discipline.

The long way is the short cut.

A year from now you’ll wish you had started today.

Here’s the answer for “mind”:

Growth mindset versus closed mindset.

Opportunity versus limits.

Optimism versus pessimism.

Obvious now?

Basic mental DNA.

Have fun with the other four.
