Continued from yesterday’s riff

Training. Teaching. Business. Uncharted territory is common. Risk taking is common. Growth is common.

Here’s an example of what i was describing yesterday about approval addiction.

Our son joins the cross country team in 10th grade and it was never about how well he ran.

It was about being part of a supportive team, developing relationships, setting goals, overcoming obstacles, persistence, recognizing progress, celebrating small victories unrelated to run times, and enjoying being a part of a loving community.

We gave consistent and positive feedback on traits like perseverance, courage, creativity, honesty, and perspective.

These are, after all, assets that last a lifetime, long after anyone remembers how fast you ran a 5k.

Nothing changes

Before it fades (see it in photo?) caught my attention yesterday in Philadelphia.
There was a lot to look at and we surely missed countless, meaningful details.

Nothing changes when nothing changes.

Knowing and not doing is the same as not knowing.

Adults do not have the luxury of living not knowing.

Playing around with a new “next” and a one to three year deadline.

The product of all our choices when refined

Florida Cypress tree in early Spring
The Cypress tree is starting to “bloom” with new growth. In the Fall all its needles fall, leaving it barren.

Do you have an attitude of gratitude?

Attitude is influenced by every choice we make.

Every choice we make is influenced by our attitude.

Gratitude is the final byproduct of all our choices refined.

Get busy living

Disney Keynote Speakers
Being one with Nature helps clarify the big things in life.

Get busy living.

When you face your own mortality, and win, you are given something special. 

What?

This…

The will and clarity to get busy living

Over and under

Glacier National Park from a distance
Water is so soft compared to a rock. Yet water can carve a river of stone, given enough time.

We overestimate what we can do in a week. We underestimate what we can do in a month.

We overestimate what we can do in a month and underestimate what we can do in a year.

We overestimate what we can do in a day, and underestimate what we can do in a decade.
