It’s difficult, until it isn’t

Two Daisy flower buds
The flower, like you, is designed to bloom. 

Your mind is busy because you don’t want to do the hard, time-consuming work to transform from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

21-Day Empty Nest

  • Most young, first-world kids learn to draw a rainbow. 
  • Rainbows seem Magical to kids. 
  • The trick is to sustain the rainbow-Magic as we age. It’s not difficult if you remember who you are. 
  • Guessing a Grizzly Bear has no delusions about who it is. 
  • Moments like this one teach me new behavior insights previously unknown to me.

Knowing you are going to die is a great way to focus on living. 

My path is not your path. But my path is a great template and benchmark.

CEO of your thinking

Grateful to have to pay for this seat. At Disney Institute this seat would predominantly be a free upgrade. 
  • Tallest Mountain Ash tree i’ve ever seen. In Town no less. Mountain living is harsh. 
  • House across the street from Olympic-medal Mountain Ash tree. 
  • Read the fine print. Quite the designation. Perhaps a Winter visit?

Remember those pigs who built their houses out of stone? The ones who toiled while the others played? Remember?

The three little pigs parable is classic. 

Positive, growth mindsets are available to everyone. 

If you understand and embrace this, you are either on your way or you have already arrived. 

Any moments of excuses and blaming is classic pigs building with sticks or straw.

Daily changes

Change is generally slow and imperceptible. Take optimists and pessimists. Every child is born with a clean slate. 

What happens day after day, month after month, year after year, decade after decade?

Change. 

Be intentional and bank on the magic of compound interest.

We followed our plan

Roadside kitchen. PBJ for the trail. 
  • L-R: Ellie, Carl, Cheryl, unseasonably rare daises. 
  • Unusually available parking space at 11:00am. Grateful.
  • Hit trail at 11:30am. Much later than normal, because parking here is not a carnival show.
Glacier National Park, Piegan Pass Hike 2021.

We followed our plan perfectly. Easy morning with a nearby restaurant breakfast. Drive Going to the Sun Road to Two Medicine. 

But.

But if there’s parking at Siyeh Bend, we will stop there and hike Piegan Pass trail. 

Odds of roadside parking at 11:00am are low.
