The key to it all?

School crossing
Yesterday these children were highly motivated to cross when the crossing guard signaled them to cross. It felt like a tsunami of pre-pubescent energy was going to overrun me.

 

The key to it all?

Do you have a definitive answer?

i believe you should.

Our answers don’t have to match.

But we should both have convincing answers.

Mine?

Motivation.

We all mess up

Heading to Glacier National Park (2017) for a week with only two bags.

 

We all mess up.

It’s not a matter of will we mess up.

It’s a matter of when, and, how often.

Inflating your worth isn’t necessarily messing up.

Unless.

Unless your claims and your reality are diametrically opposed.

This author intrigues me because of the marketing hype. And for context, marketing hype is not an evil thing – it can be, but my focus is not on that right now.

In 30 days – when this goes live – i hope to have explored his thinking.

i also hope to have completed all the 2018 Glacier National Park travel arrangements.

If less is more, why do i have more?

If less is more, why do i have more?

Want to be happier?

Have less stuff.

How does this apply to our mental attitude?

Have fewer go-to responses to life’s constantly changing scenarios.

Limit your outlook and your responses to a few essentials (and no more):

  • Gratitude
  • Optimism
  • Compassion
  • Decency

Go.

The first “sober” New Years Eve happened in 2001

Highline Trail
The best hike of my entire life happened August 31, 2016 with Dave Weir – Highline Trail in Glacier National Park. It happened 3 more times in 2017 on the same trail – with Family July 31, Howard Doran August 30, and solo September 29…pictured here.

September 29, 2017 the trail was deserted.

The first “sober” New Years Eve happened in 2001.

i intentionally picked December 30 to be my final drinking day, so that New Years Eve (the biggest drinking day in the world) would be the beginning of my resolve.

New Years Day is a terrible day to begin transformational change – it’s so unreliable.

Feel blessed by and grateful for the confidence you’ve developed

film canister
Dropped off at Walgreens yesterday – remember film? This canister is old. Will it contain anything to feed my confidence?

 

Feel blessed by and grateful for the confidence you’ve developed during your lifetime.

And know this confidence you carry is fleeting.

It comes and goes like the night.

Find a million ways to remain confident in the darkness.

Never take confidence for granted.

Never boast.

Always nurture and feed your confidence.

Walk humbly, and carry a big stick.
