The problem is not the real problem

Quotes

The problem is not the real problem.

The problem isn’t having new ideas.

Humans are born to build their lives on new ideas.

It’s in our DNA.

Ideas build our foundation as we enter adulthood and carve out a life independent from our parents.

The challenge is terminating old ideas which were once new but are now old.

And because they’re old, let’s assume we’ve been incorporating these ideas into our daily lives long enough to have created the deeply embedded habits we call daily life.

Constant 72-hour challenges?

medical appoint reminder card
After 34 years, a dramatic change. Snapped the photo above yesterday as a reminder.

 

What would life be like if we constantly pushed ourselves to improve?

Scary?

Glorious?

You know that saying?

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

Because i don’t doesn’t mean i don’t want to

excuses, regrets, opportunities
Excuses, regrets, opportunities…used Siri to text me the above thought while biking yesterday,

 

Because i don’t doesn’t mean i don’t want to…

Just because i’m always positive doesn’t mean i’m not tempted to be negative.

Just because i exercise regularly doesn’t mean i wouldn’t rather relax at home.

Just because i rarely eat sugar doesn’t mean i don’t want to eat chocolate all day, every day.

Just because i go to bed early and awaken early doesn’t mean i don’t want to stay up late or sleep in.

Just because i consistently go to Church doesn’t mean i’d rather use Sunday mornings for something else.

Just because i do not get angry doesn’t mean i don’t want to get angry.

Just because i work so hard to be amazing in my profession doesn’t mean i’d rather spend less time studying, networking, writing, and chasing impossible goals.

Just because i’m decently organized, doesn’t mean there are many days where it is so hard to make decisions on what to keep, what to donate, and what to recycle.

Just because i love technology doesn’t mean i love all the time it takes to keep up with it.

Years ago, i purchased the domain name www.ExcuseWhisperer.com

Wishing everyone the best today.

Happy New Day

Ordering HomePods
Upper right corner. Awoke at 2:55am to buy at 3:01am (12:01am Cupertino time). Tried unsuccessfully for 20 minutes.

 

Happy New Day.

Can you hear yourself saying this?

i shoulda.

i coulda.

i woulda.

i’m a simple person.

(ps. you’re still talking to yourself…)

i work hard.

i sacrifice.

My goals are pretty lofty.

A fair amount of my family, friends, and colleagues don’t get why i work so hard.

The goal?

To win.

Win what?

Victory over my old self.

Metamorphisis.

To journey through life, preparing for the next leg.

To do what you need to do today so your tomorrows are better.

We thrive or we survive.

Life is fair in that it is unfair to everyone.

Celebrate.

Go.

How much time do you spend in the sun?

The sun here is metaphorical for a bright positive attitude.

 

How much time do you spend in the sun?

Sun is metaphorical for positive attitude.

There was a time when i was not aware of how much time i was negative versus how much time i was positive.

Taking stock shocked me.

Then i set out, in 1999, to course correct.

(Note: a post like this stops – like it just did above -and then you are given a rare opportunity to take stock in your negative versus positive ratio. And then to smile and enjoy or then, perhaps, to roll up your sleeves and get to work.)
