There’s a secret most don’t know

There’s a secret most don’t know.

Because most don’t know, most are on an unfocused chase to discover the one thing they have yet to discover – the secret to success.

Meanwhile, they try to survive day-to-day until they discover the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

The insecurity that comes from feeling like our foundation is weak or our future is uncertain can cloud our instinct to trust our gut.

The long way is the short cut.

The subtly painful truth about growth

Obligatory photo. From Rising Sun Motor Inn, head East and you’ll you leave Glacier and can drive North a few miles before re-entering Glacier.

Yee-haw!

 

Overcoming is the path to growth.

Little did i know yesterday morning that the day would end with a major personal achievement – overcoming a severe fear. And it had nothing to do with horses.

.

Note to myself for posterity: 08.02 Tuesday breakfast at Many Glacier, Cracker Flats two-hour horseback ride, lunch at Swiftcurrent, relax at Rising Sun, dinner at Logan Pass, Cheryl was not up to hiking Hidden Lake Trail so Chapin and i did the High Line trail entrance. The Highline Trail has always frightened me.

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.

 

Is there one simple secret to a positive attitude?

i see parking in the very last row at the busy airport a blessing.

 

Look only for goodness and blessings and that’s what you’ll find. To deny this would be illustrating my point. #gratitude

Writing began, and continues, one single, solitary day at a time

So unimportant to call out a single, ordinary day – yesterday was Monday, November 23, 2015.

 

Dear Son, i often end emails and social media private messages with this challenge, “Be amazed and be amazing.”

At the completion of the first day of a self-imposed 100-day writing challenge which began April Fools Day 2009, i had five blog posts. On April 2 i wrote five more. That’s how it all began. And that’s how it continues – one single, solitary day at a time.

Believe it or not, i was amazed that i actually did what i said i was gonna do. That’s the surest way to be amazed and be amazing.
