How did you get to a mental 10?

Summer 2016, Glacier National Park.

 

On a scale of 1-10 (10 is best) how do you rate yourself for achieving a consistently positive attitude?

How did you get to a 10?

Do you spend every day at a 10?

What do you do to stay at a 10?

In love with your morning routine?

inspiring quote
Easy to gloss over. Dangerous too.

 

What’s your routine each morning after you awaken?

How many times does your clock sound before your feet hit the floor?

(let’s agree not everyone sets a clock to go off, and not everyone has feet…i’m fully aware there are exceptions to literally everything – except death – so the use of generalizations has a place in our world)

What are your dominating thoughts the first 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes?

Gratitude, hope, purpose?

Resentment, dread, confusion?

Writing helps me process where i’ve been, where i’m at, and where i’m going.

What do you do to process those three things?

Every morning we awaken, our routine begins again.

In love with your routine?

Balance is not a myth is an attitude worth pursuing

note: i did not write what’s in this photo…

 

Balance
From LinkedIn i believe. That headline. Messages like this serve no one. However, people who rely on excuses take solace in this false proposition.

 

 

Balance is not a myth.

The key mindset (our attitude) is coming to the realization that balance isn’t about a perceived equality between time spent at work and time spent at home.

Balance is about energy.

Energy invested and time spent are two completely different metrics.

Why doesn’t the overwhelm ever end?

Florida alligator in retention pond
Small gators keep growing. This one, from yesterday’s bicycle ride to Disney University was between 2-3 feet long. Not a threat. Yet.

 

Why doesn’t the overwhelm ever end?

Because it’s the nature of life.

Nature is beautiful and brutal simultaneously.

Our job is to find as much joy as we can in spite of the consistently unexpected events that throw us off balance.

Our best defense is learning how to dance with difficulty.

Fear is out to trick you into mediocrity

It just spewed out of my mouth yesterday in the dentist’s chair, “i work seven days a week. i can’t remember the last time i took a day off.”

What would happen if we worked seven days a week for a decade or more?

What if it never felt like work?

We eat everyday.

We pray (hopefully) everyday.

And by pray, i simply mean we give thanks (live in constant gratitude).

Right?
