What if we took a road trip?

Great observation
From LinkedIn yesterday.

 

In the pursuit of the unknown there’s a default solution we used to take back in college…

What if we took a road trip?

That feeling when it feels right to try a tried and true, but long abandoned strategy.

Two of my college buddies retired at 55.

That makes three of us from the group of 36.

Rick and JD would be great thought partners.

Time for a road trip?

Glacier National Park, see ya real soon.

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.

Are you satisfied?

The typical response is, “With what?”

My answer, typically, is, “With your life.”

Are you satisfied?

What do you plan to do about it?

When?

Why are you waiting?

What are you afraid of?

i hated my fear of failure and rejection.

It doesn’t matter what we know

Something about this that says, “genius”.

 

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.

Reread until it makes sense, and it will.

The sad truth about truth

Wisdom quote

The sad truth is many things in life we say are difficult, aren’t.

So we don’t try.

Trying and staying with something is the quickest way to get past difficult.

There is no room for this

(Thi is a note to myself)

You want a positive attitude?

Well then, here’s all you have to do.

Go get it.

Oh snap, wait, there are reasons, right, that this isn’t possible for you?

You’re special and different, and have issues that complicate things. Issues that are different from everyone else, right?

Bull.

Walt Disney never (publicly) accepted excuses. He never (publicly) worried about being different either.

He also knew (later in life) that these two beliefs would be the foundation of his leadership legacy.

i confess to copying Walt.

There, i said it.

Your excuses are invalid.

At least that’s what i’ve convinced myself to embrace.
