Balancing dreams with the pressures of reality

Last night watching TV.

 

Balancing dreams with the pressures of reality. This never goes away because life is constantly putting things in front of us that we didn’t see coming. Solving for these things takes time – time we had intended to spend on our dreams.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Seven daily prescription pills

It’s not uncommon for aging adults to take seven daily pills.

Since 1999, i’ve been taking mine:

  1. cardio
  2. strength
  3. nutrition
  4. rest
  5. flexibility
  6. core
  7. goals

Doc says i don’t have to take them all, but he did insist that if i took them all my health would dramatically improve.

And what one does for the body, one also does for the mind (this website is about mental attitude). i write about physical (body) at the “next” website (link at the end of the small paragraph below…)

Retooling work life balance

Image of open mind
Yesterday’s mail. What about retooling our thinking?

 

What about retooling the way we think about work life balance?

Or have we convinced ourselves it’s impossible?

i was so close to giving up on it in the 1990’s.

Does that seem like the type of example we should be setting for younger generations?

Leadership isn’t just about work

Spaceship Earth at dusk
Future World. What is our “future world” and will we work hard to shape it in spite of the obstacles?

 

Our attitude shapes everything about us.

Leadership isn’t just about work. Leadership is about balance. This includes figuring out how to manage an often overwhelmingly busy life. My posts are meant to state the obvious, which is easy to ignore when we’re overwhelmed.

When an especially busy patch of work hits you

Bird poop on car
Last night in Red Lobster parking lot, the vehicle next to ours.

 

When an especially busy patch of work hits you:

  • Do your best
  • Stay focused
  • Know that this too shall pass
  • Find the inherent, invisible, and bountiful blessings
  • Don’t break under the pressure
  • Remember that life naturally ebbs and flows

Learn from this experience and be a little better at handling pressure next time.
