Walking is one of my favorite thinking laboratories.

dad

Of the many things you can do while walking, thinking about things that are not generally thought about is one of my favorites.

Not only that, but you can think about uncommon things at the levels you want and need to think about.

Thinking this way enhances your ability to solve your biggest challenges and create your greatest opportunities.

Your thinking map

Shopping village sign
Wildly friendly is up to each visitor.
National park lodge sign
We thought about a pre-season visit for some time. But never did it. Two weeks ago we did it.

Your thoughts are your map. Your actions are your actual trek.

dad

Your map is useless if you don’t use it.

Your thoughts are worthless if you don’t take action on them.

Thinking without doing is a cruel way to live.

You will live as an example, or as a warning.

Who’s to judge?

Anyone and everyone.

Pro tip: And if you’re smart, you’ll self-judge. All day, every day.
