Merry Christmas, thank you Christmas for being an annual part of my life

Why the Fosbury video?

Because Twitter planted a seed yesterday.

And the seed grew into a thought about being a pioneer.

Pioneers change things.

Maybe the way i think about death (and the 10-year plan) is pioneering.

Time will tell.

And no, i didn’t do it to pioneer anything.

Dick Fosbury didn’t either.

Dick was simply looking for a way to not be the worst high jumper on his High School team.

And i simply don’t want to die with regret. i plan to die with peace and contentment. Peace with who i am. Content with what i have.

Merry Christmas, thank you Christmas for being an annual part of my life.

According to my 10-year plan, this is my final Christmas.

i’m at peace with having such a non-conforming approach to life.

The critics, and there are always critics, used to be people i worried about what they would think of me.

Maybe 3-5 years ago i started asking, “Why?”

Well, for starters, some of them are family and friends.

People i’ve known a lifetime.

To this unnecessary worry, i’ve surrendered.

Free at last.

Thank God almighty, i’m free at last. (ht MLK)

Note: ht = hat tip.

Responsibility

Wonderful. Home and office away from home. Lake McDonald Lodge in Glacier National Park.

 

Not only is everything your responsibility, it’s also your obligation.

  • Be true to yourself.
  • Do work that matters.
  • Be an insatiable learner.
  • Lean into discomfort.
  • Enjoy your journey.
  • Revel in your discoveries, good or not so good.

All day.

Every day.

Brainstorming through WordPress

Disney Keynote Speaker
Prevailing wisdom is context neutral, meaning the life-insight applies to all.

 

Brainstorming through WordPress.

Sometimes, i use the daily blog writing to brainstorm a project proposal or a solution to a challenge.

Currently working with one client who has no issues with my speaking fees.

Simultaneously, another client is being elusive.

Simple awareness is where everything begins.

 

The insight above grounds me.

As does this one…

The capacity to walk away grants you control.

 

Often, a wakeup call allows uncertainty and confusion to suddenly become crystal clear.
