Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Yesterday.
.thinking .differently
Like i always do.
An idea.
One word.
Guidance for 2025.
Patience.
Note: The motive? What if i take simplicity and focus to a new level. What if a dramatic ‘improvement’ leap in one area could increase the improvement in every other area?

The purging is progressing nicely. Shelves are 80% done. Yesterday i attacked the first of three 4-drawer file cabinets. The biggest “file folder” is the backup paper copies of the two lifetime quotes, sayings, and articles collection.
There’s a page per calendar day, plus some extras – about 400 pages.
Many quotes from the pre-internet easy-access decades.
What will follow in the days to come is the sharing of noteworthy quotes.
The internet makes every quote accessible. The ones shared on these blogs are the ones that crossed my path pre-internet.
Mistake, error, is the discipline through which we advance.
William Ellery Channing
To lose patience is to lose the battle.
Mahatma Gandhi
Be not impatient with thine brother, with thine neighbor, and – most of all – with thine self.
Edgar Cayce

Margin and attitude net patience.
Margin is unscheduled space (time) on your calendar.
Margin is a distinguishing factor between people with personal vibrancy and people who consistently struggle to survive.
Most of my life i was over-scheduled, stressed, and struggling to survive the onslaught of each day.
It’s possible that i wasn’t over-worked. It’s possible that i was under-organized.
Margin is a luxury necessity.
Choosing an attitude of opportunity, versus adversity, is a personal and mental victory. Mental victories add up and grow like daily compound interest.
How cool is that! Use that coolness to your advantage. All day. Every day.
Update Jan. 10, 2019: The issue is back. Grateful for the Internet, for WordPress, for technology, for time to write, for ideas, etc.

Thank you Apple Private Browsing mode. You provided relief from hassle, and frustration, the past two days.
This is a band-aid and not a solution.
Let’s not forget that.
And thanks also for the workout with patience. We may claim we are patient, but are we really?

Is having great patience enough to become virtuous?
Patience is a virtue.
That’s what they say.
But being patient, i believe, means all the time.
Not most of the time.
Not when it’s easy.
But when it’s painfully difficult.
Somewhere north of once a week.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
