Gratitude is attitude

Family.

Gratitude is attitude.

If you began writing (typing) a list of all the things you are grateful for, it is quite possible that you might never stop writing.

When i try to imagine being grateful yet having a poor attitude, i can’t.

Tis the business deal season

What’s in the box?

Today’s five (short and pithy?) riffs revolve around a business deal.

Think of the biggest deal you’ve ever made and then image it compounded by being exceptionally bigger.

Two days ago, i was ready to walk away.

Too much stress.

Too little perceived trust.

Not enough perceived commitment from the buyer.

Not enough fun for me.

Yet enough potential to change an industry.

It was the serendipitous breakfast conversation that illuminated a new way of thinking about the mess challenge.

Do or do not

Dreams require risks. Risks require failure. Failure enables growth. Growth enables dreams.

Do or do not do the work.

Is there a third choice?

No, from my six decades on this planet. i have discovered my own truths. Truths many others embrace, and at the same time, many others shun. Right or wrong, we need to commit. i am committed to my truth – which may grow and develop as more years teach more lessons.

Some might say that doing some but not all of the work is doing the work, and i say that doing the work is like a marriage, you are 100% committed or you are not committed. Cheating means failing.

At some point, i deemed my being faithful to a positive attitude was all or nothing.

Cheating by being impatient, unkind, angry, and negative means i have failed.

i do not like that type of failure.

Failing from calculated risk taking inspires me.

Needed to say all of this to clear up any doubt about my intimate relationship with failure.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about mental attitude:

Bear Grass.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about mental attitude:

  1. Unquestionably, optimism beats pessimism
  2. How you see things is in your control
  3. Use patience to train yourself to see only positively

Riddle me this

Logan Pass Visitor Center parking lot is clear as of yesterday, May 31, 2019. This is super early in the season. I’m training to bicycle to this location from Avalanche Creek. A decent accomplishment for anyone, and particularly a 60-year old.

What attitude would you need?

What?

To easily deflect any peer pressure for complying with less desirable habits.

Our Son’s High School does mandatory beginning of the year drug testing using a human hair. Throughout the school year, every student faces random testing. The random testing and the possibility of expulsion make it easy for students to say no.

When faced with desserts at work and personal celebrations, just say you’re in training. When they ask for what, be creative.

I’m in training for total wellness.
