Daily writing is a thing?

Social media Screen Shot about a daily writing app
A year of writing sounds like a serious commitment.

i write, not because it is required. i write because i enjoy it and cannot help myself.

Many things can provide positive change. What works for one may not for another.

However, the five big choices from which to focus are simple.

Mind, body, spirit, work, home.

We think.

We move.

We feel.

We contribute.

We dwell.

Each big choice has tactics.

But the strategy is simple.

What works for me may not work for you.

But i do know for sure that i always yearned for a simple strategy.

Seek out a mentor who has mastered vibrancy, i said to myself.

After a 20 year search inside Disney, a revelation.

What you seek cannot be found in another, not even at Disney.

Seek it in yourself.

In 2005, it became obvious.

Become the change you seek to know.

A few years later, daily writing became the catalyst…and on April Fools Day 2009, everything began to slowly change.

Daily writing has been a thing for me for nearly 5,700 consecutive days (also known as 15.5 years).

Thrill of hopeful mind

TEDTalk stage
Like i always say, “lean into discomfort”.

Hope is a great strategy but a poor tactic. Focus and discipline are great tactics but a poor strategy. Strategy is the vision. Tactics is the execution.

dad

Hope-filled thoughts trump pessimistic thoughts.

Focus happens by design and by default.

Focus is what creates routines.

Routines create habits.

Habits create results.

Hope-filled habits create hope-filled results.

Pessimism-filled habits create pessimism-filled results.

What a privilege

Man sitting on porch
Been calling home every Sunday for four years. Yesterday was no exception. Note: by the time this post published, it will be closer to 5 years than 4 years.

Focus and discipline proclaims your convictions.

dad

Everyone is telling a story.

Seriously.

Who could possibly tell your story besides you?

i wanted to know why no one called me. i suspected that the others thought i was the only person who’s phone made outbound calls.
