One of our biggest mistakes

Took a minute to chat with these guys after a run, because i had the time, and it was fun.

 

One of our biggest mistakes is not adding margin to our travel time.

It’s an insidious habit.

It’s one of the main reasons we are unbalanced. We become bankrupt spiritually because we are constantly coming up short – and rushing through the basics of life. The basics sustain us. The basics allow a rhythm and freedom to be more present.

The basics; a spontaneous conversation with a friend at the grocery store, taking a moment to help someone in need – if only to give directions, or simply pausing to watch the clouds for two minutes.

i’ve found that padding extra time into travel time allows for me (anyone) to be more present and to not be in so much of a rush. Life is too short to rush through it all.

Note: i struggle with this every day. That’s why it’s so important.

Is life really this simple?

High School Improv event poster
Yesterday. Life is about handling what comes our way (improv). It’s also about over-managing (intentionality) every detail.

 

Just another ordinary day today, right?

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. – Audrey Hepburn

My version of this is simple too:

Live like you mean it.

The common denominator in those two quotes is intentionality.

When we over manage the things we used to under manage or ignore, our life positively changes in ways we could not see before.

As simple (or difficult) as focusing on good versus focusing on faults.

Think like you mean it

Think like you mean it.

The biggest difference between them and us

Florida entrepreneur
Yesterday morning, working from home.

 

The biggest difference between those focused on thriving and those focused on surviving is the gap in their beliefs.

The gap between rising everyday believing you owe the world your best or rising everyday and believing it would be safer (better) to hold back.

We can’t fail if we don’t try.

To even think for a minute that there’s an ounce of validity in that last statement is, well, insidiously influential.
