Favorite thought? Mind

WordPress admin Screenshot — Bottom of this photo you can see yesterday’s blog title “Haves and wants”. Every other day above that line is pre-loaded with blog post title ideas. And what you see below is what an admin dashboard looks like normally. Actually what is below is not normal. Most don’t plan to blog daily, so they also don’t plan to pre-schedule the admin parts of their unwritten posts.

Favorite thought?

Wow, that’s a challenging question.

This thought came almost instantly, after a brief moment of ‘this will be impossible’…

The only limitations i have are those i impose upon myself.

Note: Penned that thought in 1980 while journaling during a week-long Outward Bound outdoor experiential course.

Haves and wants, mind

Sunrise over the Great Plains — We spent three weeks in this room and every morning we had a view like, or similar to, this.

In my opinion, get-to-do vs have-to-do is a concept easily understood.

Wanting more or wanting less is not as easily understood.

Wanting less transcends dogma and tradition.

There are few role models for wanting less, publicly.

Privately, having a family role model is almost a freak accident.

We are left then with what looks like twins. Haves and wants are mushed together like creativity and innovation. For the record and for this example, creativity and innovation always get mushed together.

Context: Anyone can generate creative ideas. Few can go from idea to successful, scalable application.

Back to haves and wants. We are societally conditioned to want more. Which feeds an insidious detachment from ever thinking about seriously wanting less.

i seriously want less.

Honor some limits

father and son mountain biking — Went as far as allowed, about nine miles to The Loop, from Avalanche Creek parking.

Honor some limits. Like official road closures.

Never honor dogma and tradition limits.

Respect historical limits.

Then ask:

What do I want?
How bad do I want it?
What price am I willing to pay?

High odds limits won’t help you.

So don’t have any.

You can’t but you can

You can’t do everything, yet you can do anything. Understand the difference and the world arrives to help you.

What drives our limitations?

fear — Fear is a habit. Our limits are a habit because of this.

Thoughts.

Decisions.

Actions.

The only limits we have are those we impose upon ourselves.
