Wisdom comes from an underrated source

Writers coaches
Maybe 5 years ago, at the end of a presentation Mark did for aspiring writers, i spent $2k on Mark’s “Wealthy Writer’s Wisdom group”. Nothing happened from this. Successful failure.

 

 

So ridiculously simple we run right past it.

And the crazy thing is every one of us has a ton of experience because we’ve all made a ton of mistakes. And let’s not discount the mistakes from not taking action – all those times we hesitated and talked ourselves out of taking action.

Wisdom comes from an underrated source…

Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes.

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

Do something that scares you and eventually you won’t be so scared. This can become a daily habit.

Note: Spending $2k on Mark’s course was a mistake, but only in hindsight. What i got from the decision to act was learning that fact. But i continued to hold on, thinking something would change. It never did. Unsubscribing set me free and gave me peace.

Why blog prolifically?

Why blog prolifically?

The palest ink is better than the best memory. – Chinese Proverb

Over time, the trail of posts reveals the best memory.

Life is hard.

When our son reaches this conclusion, may he find solace in getting daily glimpses into how a life can be redesigned.

And secondly, it is no longer possible for me to begin a single day without the amplified gratitude that comes from two hours of daily self-reflection.

The best way to succeed

Glacier National Park
Know what inspires you and build it into your life.

 

The best way to succeed in this world is to act on the advice you give to others.
– Unknown

Responsibility is the price for freedom.

  • Don’t quit your day job
  • Being better, different, or both is the only way
  • It’s easier to be different than it is to be better
  • Find and exploit your unique selling proposition
  • Publish your first book
  • Become a category of one
  • Charge a premium for your art

This is tip of the iceberg advice.

If this is true, what does today and our future hold

We wire our attitude’s circuit board with every thought and every piece of self-talk. Photo: yesterday, our pool’s digital app circuit board.

 

As we think so we are.

Most of us, myself included, have inferiority complexes.

As we reach midlife we should experience these feelings much less often.

Why?

Because of the way we think.

i believe it’s possible to eliminate negative thoughts with the help of a balanced approach to life.

Bottomline (in my opinion), we need to feed ourselves with positive self-talk, continuous personal development, and constant loving care of our mind, body and spirit.

It’s dangerous to confuse the two

morning love note
First thing awaiting me downstairs yesterday morning. Rec’d mug last night at conference welcome dinner.

 

Don’t confuse your gift with your passion.

Disney is my passion.

Teaching is my gift.

Although i hated to leave Disney after 30 incredible years, it was the right thing to do.

Ps. 100 days later, today, May 12, i’ve had to re-read this post several times and i’m still struggling to understand my conviction when i wrote it.
