A note to myself from June 2013, as i listened to George Kalogridis’s leadership Keynote Speech. Trusting your gut was one of seven points he made that have served him well.
i’m fascinated by the mental results of setting a 10-year deadline.
Not because George Kalogridis, Walt Disney World President said it, but because i believe in it.
Trust your gut.
My gut told me in December 2008, six months before my 50th birthday, to make a 10-year plan to include everything that i wanted to do in life before i die.
The crazy part was saying to myself, “Since no one knows when they will die, what would happen if you set an artificial, yet realistic, deadline in which to do everything you want before time is up?”
Here’s the thing, i have never in my life heard of such an endeavor.
So it’s likely, no one i know has heard of anyone either.
So if i make this claim that i’m doing it, how crazy (ridiculous) would that be?
i did it anyway.
Trust your gut.
This takes some serious thinking.
As of today, i have 21 months to finish up.
That’s the main reason i’m flying to Glacier National Park tomorrow for four days – to see GNP dusted in snow. It may be the last chance i get.

Took this photo yesterday, having no idea what i was going to write today. To think like this photo suggests can be a habit. Or not. One thing we can bank on, life is unpredictable.
The way you think manifests itself in your behaviors.
Your behaviors create your habits because you repeat these behaviors over and over.
You do it.
i do it.
Why?
Because our thinking also has habit-forming power.
And changing who you are – if that’s what you think you need – has to start with changing what you think.
That’s why this blog, about our mind, is one of life’s five big choices.
Everything begins and ends with our thoughts.
May you find what you need today, all day, to start leaving whatever thoughts don’t serve you – to begin letting them go – as uncomfortable as that feels right now.

Hugh McLeod from GapingVoid Art is my favorite cartoonist.
The point is made with the cartoon. Hugh’s daily email features a piece of art (first photo) and then a business insight (second photo). No need to read the fine print after Einstein’s quote.
We’re born. We live a life. We die.
Simple.
Except for the living part.
Live like you mean.
The only thing that complicates the living is how long we get to do it.
