Clutter kills our attitude

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Is clutter (including social media clutter) killing our passion?

Change does not happen by reading ‪Facebook‬, LinkedIn, or Twitter‬ posts, and hitting the like, share, or retweet button.

Change doesn’t happen by consistently defaulting to “tomorrow-mode”.

We can’t do “it” today because there’s too much clutter.

So we promise, “Tomorrow”.

Today (right now)  is yesterday’s “tomorrow”.

Now what?

Balancing adventure with adulthood

Sign about zero excuses
Yesterday during a High School classroom tour.

 

There are different types of security. A roof over our heads, clean water, a stocked refrigerator, a ‘good’ job. The well-worn path society the herd travels.

Nothing destroys our sense of adventure more than a secure future.

The outliers movement challenges us to do something great.

To be adventurous…

Mend an important relationship before it’s too late, help raise money for a cure to something without one yet, or something in between.

Zero excuses?

Reliable attitude mediocrity

Each morning we have a choice.

Our choice is probably an auto response from habit.

Enter MCO to LAX yesterday morning, meaning Orlando to Los Angeles airports and then a bus shuttle to our hotel. Note the departure time in top photo and the time on the bottom photo.

Reliable attitude mediocrity means that after so many thousands of individual days we either suck the marrow out of life or we settle.

Survive each day. Thrive each day.

Either choice revolves around the harsh reality that life is hard.

The two things our youthful dreams never prepared us for

Will be lucky to see anything but the airport and the hotel

 

The two things our youthful dreams never prepared us for:

  1. That life doesn’t cease being hard, even though we master many things
  2. The realization that wakeup calls are neither myth, nor avoidable

The best we can do moving forward is be realistic about what to expect.

Traveling around the world for a living, plan on seeing the airport and the hotel.

Anything else, no matter how many days you stay, is a bonus.
