Luck is when preparation meets Google keyword search

Orlando Office building
Met client at 7:30am yesterday.

 

The call came in less than 48 hours ago.

Didn’t answer it because it wasn’t in my contacts.

Forgot about it for the rest of the workout and later checked voice mail.

Played the voice message…

“Our “Disney Way” Keynote Speaker has the flu and can’t make our annual meeting, which begins at 9:00am tomorrow.”

Less than 24 hours notice yet only a 45-minute drive from my home.

Still can’t get over this dramatic change in behavior

Emptied every night for more than a year and counting.

 

 

Still can’t get over this dramatic change in behavior. Thirteen months ago in preparation for a Summer Writer’s retreat on Sanibel Island, i emptied my email inbox, sent folder, and trash folder.

Never intended for it to last.

Surprise!

That was July 1, 2015.

Every night since then (like 419 consecutive nights) i’ve zero’d out those three email folders.

My mornings have never been the same.

Without realizing it, i was starting everyday behind. Doing yesterday’s (or the day or days before) work before i could launch what needs to get done today.

Would this one thing make me happy?

What if i was doing what i loved?

Would that make me happier?

How does one figure out what one loves to do?

And how long should one keep searching?

Jump start your mental attitude the moment you open your eyes

Say this repeatedly to yourself upon awaking to jump start your mental attitude the moment you open your eyes,

i feel happy, i feel healthy, i feel alive.

Say it to yourself in your thoughts, or, if you are alone, say it out loud.

The repetition and ease of doing this will surprise you.

#disrupt

i must be brave enough to become the most positive person i know.

i begin by disrupting my deeply-engrained habits.
