Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Once upon a time there was short and pithy; five daily, differently-themed blog posts that were short in length, yet dense with diversity, insight, wisdom, and challenge. Like life, events happen that throw us a curve. It’s no different here.

Why do i still write five daily blogs?
Good question.
It’s been six and one-half years.
Every. Dang. Day.
Five differently-themed blogs.
What if i told you i don’t know why exactly?
Except for this: It’s literally impossible to begin the day without this two-hour morning investment. As the saying goes…”I set out to change the world, when in reality i changed myself.”
Is it a lot of work?
Yes.
You know what else is a lot of work?
Spending a lifetime wondering about what could have been if we would have applied ourselves more, differently, better.

Better late than never. A phrase we have heard since we were children. Why? Because it’s true.
It’s better to make difficult, positive changes to correct poor habits than it is to not change. Sounds backwards but it’s true…
Better late than never is not always about change.
Sometimes it’s about becoming aware of something that wasn’t fully understood – something that once understood, gives us courage and strength in a way we never saw coming.
Writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different websites) has happened every single day since April 1, 2009.
i don’t write for:
i write because it transforms me.
The transformation is facilitated by the illumination from a daily habit that is public and transparent – also known as accountability.
Without accountability we are sunk. And by accountability, i’m not talking about some bull crap theory-looks-good-on-paper accountability.
Accountability that is so easy to recognize, it’s impossible to hide.

Walt Disney’s biggest risk was investing in things people never notice.
People ask me what does it mean to over manage the details others either under manage or ignore?
The blog header colors intentionally symbolize something 99.99% will never understand:
Why do it if most never notice?
Disney’s secrets for over managing a vibrant organizational culture are context neutral, meaning the prevailing wisdom that Disney uses can be used anywhere, even on my blogs.

Each day is a clean slate.
But our mornings are so busy that we don’t take time to get centered before we get going.
There are a few freaks who believe that balance must be the daily habit.
Never in a million years right?
Self-fulling prophecy got it’s name because it’s true.
But we can retrain our habits by rethinking our priorities.
For example, if you are not going to exercise today, it’s because you have intentionally thought through that today is a rest day.
Of course, there are rare, emergency circumstances that warrant not exercising on days that are not designated for rest. We should allow for about one every month or so.
