Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.

So many choices. Guess who gets to pick the best one to use everyday?
The beautiful thing about attitude is that we don’t need a committee.
There’s only one person in charge of it.
Great CEO’s read, study, teach, try, fail, try again, and keep trying until they succeed.
Especially the startup entrepreneurs. You know, the ones who quit their job and go for their dream.

Who’s in charge today?
Take charge of your life he heard himself say.
But with all the distractions, and especially with all the distractions, it’s really difficult.
Downright impossible, no?
Then he heard himself say that his excuses are invalid.
Putting things off is a habit he wants to destroy.

When will the racing stop? Our days fly by in a flurry of activity and checklists.
Never seems to be enough time.
If only we had more time.
Someday things will slow down. Right?
All we have is time, yet we use it like it’s an inexhaustible resource.
But it isn’t.
And no amount of ignoring this fact buys a single day more.
What would compel us to have a sense of urgency for living like we mean it?
Probably nothing.

A mini epiphany is good for the soul. Had one yesterday. Epiphanies don’t come around much anymore, do they?
As toddlers, they happened almost daily. Our learning curve was massive back in the day.
But now? Now if we’re lucky as middle age grown ups, our learning curve looks like a straight line with just a tiny curve. The way a wooden board might look when slightly warped. Difficult to see any curve, but you can if you look closer.
The mini epiphany?
To let go of something that doesn’t matter. And it happened rather quickly after all this time holding on.
While the thing does matter, it is no longer up to this now comforted soul to worry about.
Still hopeful for those teammates remaining. They deserve goodness.
But have let go of the altruistic notion that it was a purpose important enough to die for.
No one looks back and says, ‘Wish I had spent more time at the office’.

It comes down to the start of each day doesn’t it? And this tone is set whether we are conscious of it or not.
The day began at 3:30am Mountain Time.
Pray.
Read.
Think.
Write.
Run.
Head to work.
