“Step by step.  I can’t think of any other way of accomplishing anything.” — Michael Jordan

This month’s “theme” is Self-Control.

Self-control is simply two things: Focus and Discipline.

We must never get bored, focusing on the basic, common sense things.

We must never tire of the discipline it takes to stay focused.

Focus and Discipline are the two hardest things in the world for humans to do.

Ignorance In Action

“Nothing is more terrible than ignorance in action”. — Goethe

What does this mean exactly?  Perhaps it is as simple as this:

“The unexamined life is not worth living”.   — Socrates

We get one passage here on Earth.  Let’s make it a good one.

Mid Life and Time

“Happiness may well consist primarily of an attitude toward time”. — Robert Grudin

Is this not a BFO?  A Blinding Flash of the Obvious?

Recently, I shared with our son that I’m especially challenged this year to spend time with him.

I feel it, but can’t tell if he does.  He most likely does, even if he can’t put his finger on it.

Figure it out Jeff.  You need to figure this out.  The clock is ticking. He just turned nine. You only get a nine year old for one year.  Then they turn ten.

Are ya with me?  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
