Motivation is like a fire.

You have to keep adding fuel to it or it goes out.

Common sense, not common practice.

Right?

(The answer is, “yes”.)

Why is that?

The five posts i wrote 60 days ago inspired this post’s message.

PS. Today’s five posts (written August 31 2019) will go live (you’re reading them now) October 31.

At 8,200’ feet yesterday, a chance meeting with a just-retired 30-year Grizzly Bear biologist. 

Dan is Carolee’s husband and Carolee is a National Park Service fire tower volunteer employee. She works 10-days in a row and then has some time off. Then back at it for another 10 days. 

Dan joined her recently, as yesterday closed out Carolee’s season. 

As they finished taping shut supply boxes while awaiting a pack-mule team, my sunny seat out of the wind happened to be a few feet from Dan. 

At his declaration that a conversation was ok, i thought of the most important question he could answer for me.

All the Glacier National Park material says to never hike alone. 

This is especially targeted at first time and infrequent visitors. 

Like anything in life, exposure, education and experience can put you in a different category.

For example… 

A positive mental attitude can put you in a different category than rookies and others who dabble. 

Expose yourself to positivity, learn about positivity, and practice it every day, all day. 

The power of this message is crystal clear when you think about doing the opposite.

There are rewards and risks for being earlier than the rest. 

This is an elusive habit for many. 

Only “early birds” know the rewards. Only early birds manage the risks. 

Being early is a great habit and ritual. The risks revolve around giving up nighttime TV and drinking with friends, etc.  

Forty years i resisted being a morning person. 

Teaching at Disney Institute from 1999-2014 required me to become a morning person. 

To say my life changed is a huge understatement. 

Back to yesterday…

We were gone nearly three hours and didn’t see a soul. 

But, we did get to see our own.

Oh what a beautiful morning.

Insanely beautiful. 

Gloriously beautiful. 

As expected.
