Road Trip day 3, mind

9-second video: Happy present moment. Just finished a client call. Now back to room to talk to GoDaddy about website security issues.

Once you do what you thought was impossible, you may quickly lose sight of your significant achievement. And by quickly, like within 12 hours.

Sometimes, but rarely

Two people on a dirt pile
Rarely have topsoil delivered. But sometimes i do.

The satisfaction from being decisive is extraordinary.

The surrender and forgiveness available is unlimited.

i like the way the Universe provides options.

Yes, i get it, this is cryptic.

In hindsight, we may not have needed a dump truck load of top soil. It was expensive.

Bottomline…

You win some and you lose some.

Play the game and do the reps to enhance your win percentage.

And never wonder what might have happened “if only”.

Take a hike

5-second video: Out for a walk through town. Thinking 10 miles will be awesome today.
Covid test kit
First morning in eight i’m not taking DayQuil/NiQuil. Feeling better but not normal. Ruling out Covid before going to walk-in clinic.

Today’s goals are simple:

  1. Stop at walk-in clinic
  2. Stop at bank

The bank is roughly five miles from home.

Last minute decision to try Reams Road and pass Disney University. A few days ago the road was still closed from Hurricane Ian. In the event the road is still closed to vehicles, i’ll attempt to do it on foot.

Update: Reams Road is reopened. Life is uninterrupted.

You can’t or you won’t?

29-second video: Under 30-seconds, yet still longer than the goal. The good news, i continue to try even though ‘failure’ is a constant result.
Cinderella Castle and parade floats
Yesterday was a great day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

Can’t and won’t are not the same thing.

i’ve learned saying i can’t is driven by a shortage of something — a shortage of desire, commitment, discomfort, etc.

Have also learned saying i won’t is rarely said because no one wants to sound unmotivated, uncommitted, lazy.

In reality, we can think positively all the time.

It’s not that we can’t think positively all the time, it’s that we won’t think positively all the time.

The reasons for substituting i can’t in place of the honest answer i won’t, are a mile long. Everyone has their perfect mental narrative for not desiring it, not committing to it, and not managing the uncomfortable inconveniences.
