The paradoxical key

Right in front of me, 15-feet up.
Dead center in this photo is the content from the previous photo. Taken last night from a sitting area.

The paradoxical key to a peaceful life is to slow down.

Slow down to speed up.

How to slow down has been a decades-long priority for me.

Speed isn’t the issue.

Too much to do is.

So?

Don’t have too much to do.

Mental gymnastics

wordpress admin dashboard
Lower right-hand corner, in red, “Missed schedule”. Hate when that happens. Yesterday GoDaddy Advanced Technical Support resolved my database issues. So coincidental that this happens less than 24 hours later. Has to be freak coincidence unrelated to anything else.

Overheard the phrase ‘calendar gymnastics’. Intrigued. It implies we need our calendar to perform like a gymnast. So i’m flushing out the concept five ways:

  1. Mental gymnastics
  2. Physical gymnastics
  3. Spiritual gymnastics
  4. Career gymnastics
  5. Priorities/Calendar gymnastics

Starting here with mental gymnastics.

Gymnast assumptions: Fit, flexible, strong core, balance, excellence, competitive, driven, no room for error.

To me mental gymnastics means we use all the gymnast’s traits to “perfect” our growth-mindset.

Time on my mind

Team Disney building 2007
Team Disney building 2007. The building’s theme is time. The building’s length is the distance sound travels in one second.

Time waits for no one.

Everyone gets 24 hours each day.

i believe time means nothing to the cosmos.

i also believe the human construct of time fits nicely into what humans believe to be a (mostly) civilized existence.

3 simple ideals

Time book featuring Steve Jobs
Texted this to a client yesterday.

Tim Cook told me that Steve always advised his leaders on three (mindset) things:

  1. Use time wisely
  2. Pursue excellence
  3. Leave world better than you found it

Steve was born Feb 1955.

Remember, life is not a dress rehearsal.

Live like you mean it.
