i refuse to live like this anymore

Amelia Erhart quote
Facebook screen shot yesterday.

 

Here we go, it’s another Monday morning and most of us barely, if at all, have ourselves centered before we rush out the door to begin another long day of rush, rush, rush.

What becomes the catalytic moment in our lives when our attitude tells us (to promise) to stop the rat race?

What is that moment that causes us to commit to changing everything?

And how long does this, “I refuse to live like this anymore” commitment last?

If it were as easy as Amelia Earhart says, we wouldn’t be thinking about this now.

How important is risk taking to you?

“I can not tell a lie”

 

On a 1-10 scale where 10 is high, 1 is low…

How important is risk taking to you?

(pausing while you do your math)

Got your answer?

Ok…

Because you deserve it, i’m taking a public risk (for your benefit)…

Even with the obvious human temptation to dismiss this…

It will take two minutes.

Don’t have two minutes?

Good luck with the rest of the day.

If you’ll consider reading all five – one each for mind, body, spirit, work, and home – you’ll risk .thinking .differently

You can thank me later.

That last sentence was a risk too.

Live like you mean it.

PS. What prompted this was the spirited nature of today’s posts.

You know that feeling when it overwhelms you?

You know that feeling when it overwhelms you? When someone does something for you that is so wonderful, and so extraordinarily unnecessary?

Profound humility.

And when you realize that you are actually doing the same thing for others but didn’t understand the magnitude. This is a moment.

Two days ago, Lee Cockerell provided a milestone catalyst that changes everything. He has a track record of being that type of person to the world.

What triggers an epiphany?

Disney's Space Mountain

A blog comment recently acted as a catalyst for a brand new thought…

What allows people to not quit on a daily basis? For nearly all of us, quitting seems like a decent choice at least once a day. Could the antidote be having a clear, concise, and compelling vision of the future?

And here’s the epiphany:

Without the vision of what our future looks like, every mountain we climb offers us a view in which we then say, “Nah, that’s not it”.

We need to be clear about what we’re journeying to otherwise the mountain climbing gets old.

This happens in business all the time.

PS. This is from personal experience only.

Would we spend $20 bucks?

Wrote the first sentence to the book in 2009, same year Jack and I flew to Finland

 

Would we spend $20 bucks for something that just might be the catalyst we’ve been searching our whole life for?

Are we in search of the second most magnificent day in our life?

The catalyst, with a $20 price tag, went into the production phase yesterday, October 2, 2013.
