Improve the present moment

Young Steve Jobs in deep thought. Contemplation and self-reflection are analogous to sharpening the saw before felling trees.

John Wesley said…

(S)he who has governed the world before I was born shall take care of it likewise when I am dead. My part is to improve the present moment.

In a world void of abundant role models for life balance – personal vibrancy – in mind, body, spirit, work, and home…

…and with a clock that waits for no one, i have taken the risk to offer what most are too busy, or too afraid, to do…

…take control of all the controllable things in their life.

Your thoughts, your physical activity and choices, your peace and contentment, your work contributions, and your personal organization at home.

Improve your present moment.

The purging is progressing nicely. Shelves are 80% done. Yesterday i attacked the first of three 4-drawer file cabinets. The biggest “file folder” is the backup paper copies of the two lifetime quotes, sayings, and articles collection.

There’s a page per calendar day, plus some extras – about 400 pages.

Many quotes from the pre-internet easy-access decades.

What will follow in the days to come is the sharing of noteworthy quotes.

The internet makes every quote accessible. The ones shared on these blogs are the ones that crossed my path pre-internet.

Mistake, error, is the discipline through which we advance.
William Ellery Channing

To lose patience is to lose the battle.
Mahatma Gandhi

Be not impatient with thine brother, with thine neighbor, and – most of all – with thine self.
Edgar Cayce

The time to worry is when

Bicycle and American flag — Just before riding to Magic Kingdom yesterday to test a Podcast recording strategy.

The time to worry is when you don’t need to worry.

Podcasting works fine from my desk. i don’t need to record from anywhere else.

This is the perfect time to see if recording from unusual and interesting places is feasible.

Also, riding a bicycle to Walt Disney World (versus driving) is something most 60-year olds would never consider, but wish they could.

Action cures indecision

Disney Leadership speaker — Walt Disney and Fantasia Mickey, a few days ago abroad the Disney Dream.

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. – Leonardo Da Vinci

Action cures indecision.

Action can also lead to failure.

But we need failure to show us the way to success.

The long way is the short cut.

“Leadership has been defined as the art of influencing and directing people to accomplish the mission. Management is the manner in which resources are used to achieve objectives.

Leadership is of the spirit, compounded of personality and vision—its practice is an art. Management is of the mind, more a matter of accurate calculation, statistics, methods, timetables, and routine—its practice is a science. Managers are necessary; leaders are essential.” – General Charles A. Gabriel, USAF Chief of Staff
